A Woman's Right to Shoes

I am not a shoe diva and I gave up fashion for comfort years ago. In fact, I do not think I have worn a shoe that was not made by Merrell in well over a decade.

When I saw Okabashi brand shoes advertised in Today's Diet and Nutrition online magazine, I was intrigued. My feet were never comfortable in regular flip-flops but these appeared made specifically for a more comfortable fit. The prices were right, all under $20, with free shipping for orders over $40.

From the website, I learned the shoes are made in Buford, Georgia, and that the family-owned business has a two-year guarantee for their shoes and a commitment to the environment. The shoes are made with 25% recyclable material and there are two suggestions on how they can be recycled at the end of their use to the customer. They are also "vegan-friendly", i.e., no animal skins or byproducts are used in the making of the shoes. "Flip-flops belong on your feet, not in landfills".

I ordered three pair in different styles and colors to meet the $40 free shipping. They arrived timely and I've worn two of the three pair. They are indeed very comfortable and feel great on my feet. Plus, I feel great about wearing them. Check out their website! It is time to order a crimson pair to show my team spirit!
