Okabashi has been family owned and operated in the United States for more than 30 years. Since 1984, we have set ourselves apart from other major footwear manufacturers by focusing on what footwear was originally meant to be— true protection and support for your feet.
Today, more than 98% of American-worn footwear is made abroad as more and more manufactures seek out cheap labor and cheap materials overseas. Okabashi is proud to be in that remaining 2%. Not just some, but our entire footwear collection is made in America — from start to finish. We employ more than 200 people in our Buford, Georgia factory & headquarters, providing jobs and financial growth to the local economy.
And we're always looking for more domestic suppliers. So please let us know if you have any leads!

Our name is inspired by the Japanese concept of wellness.
Our original shoe designs were created using principles of reflexology. The theory behind reflexology is that each area of the foot corresponds to different organs and systems of the body. Applying pressure to key areas of the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body.
Our approach of designing shoes that promote foot health and comfort carries on today.
We take pride in making each Okabashi sandal a source of comfort and happiness. Our shoes with active arch support, massage beads, and two year guarantee, have garnered a loyal fan base.
