With the warmer temps on the horizon the seasonal flip-flop is almost inevitable, so be smarter this season in your footwear choices and avoid cheap imports or expensive uncomfortable imitators.

Try a shoe like Okabashi. 100% recyclable, 100% USA-made, 100% comfortable, and the only shoe endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association.

Okabashi's unbeatable features:

100% recyclable shoes and contains 30% recycled material (Good for the Planet)

Supportive with a massaging insole that helps rellieve foot and back pain (Good foot relief post workout)

Guaranteed for 2 years (Good for your pocket!)

Made in the USA Buford, GA to be exact! (Good for the U.S.)

Dishwasher-safe and machine washable (Good for clean shoes)

Antimicrobial and odor resistant (Good to prevent bacteria)

Anti-slip (Good for locker room showers)

Completely water-proof (Good for longevity)

The ONLY shoe endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (Good to be noticed!)

Okabashi has spent the last 25+ years working on a material that is comfortable, durable, and recyclable. This focus coupled with the company's internal lean manufacturing culture has rendered the manufacturing facility virtually waste free.

The result: this year alone Okabashi was able to reintroduce and reuse over 100,000 lbs of scrap shoes. That is 10 tractor-trailers full of scrap that would have otherwise been sent to a landfill or have ended up in our oceans.

Okabashi is a perfect travel, gym, and beach accessory, and the best part- every shoe retails for $20 or less! Choose from a bevy of vibrant colors and styles to complement every outfit and everyday.

Special Promo for Kind Life readers!

Buy one pair, get the second pair half off. Just enter code KINDLIFE at checkout.

BONUS: Enter to win 4 free pairs by posting why you love our shoes below in the comments and on our Facebook page with "TKL" at the end. Winner will be picked May 1st.

      Great company. I wanted to make my flip flops in the U.S. but sadly couldn't find a manufacture. BUT I do give a percentage of all sales to PETA and 1% for the planet.


      My other shoes, boots etc. are all made in the U.S. though!

      I would LOVE to have these flip flops! They look so comfortable. And Buford, GA is just around the corner from where I live. Very cool. I may have to go check out the plant.

      I so want these! I always buy my flops from Payless and well lately they have been paymore and they barely last me a summer. Right now my flops are so worn out and stinky, I cant wash them, they are falling apart, and I need a replacement. I was actually about to go out and buy another pair from Payless because I didnt know what else to get, so thanks for posting this up because now I know what Im going to get for sure! I love the fact that they can be washed, that they are recyclable, and that they look comfortable and stylish. Cant wait to order!

      I just bought a pair for myself and my hubby! Totally looking forward to these being my go-to summer shoes. We live in a city and walk all the time, wearig our shoes out pretty quickly usually....so, I'm hoping for comfort and a lasting quality :)

      These are my go-to shoes/flipflops almost year-round, but especially in the summer! They support my arches and are comfortable to wear all day, no matter how much walking you do. I love that they're antimicrobial and they don't get stinky and sweaty. I let a friend wear them when she visited me, and she immediately bought a pair!

      I love Okabashi! I put a ton of pressure on my heels when I walk, and so far these are the only flip flop/sandals that I can stand in for more than an hour with no pain. I took a pair with me backpacking through the Middle East last summer, and they were great! Id love to win some more pairs!

      These flip flops look comfortable yet sturdy. They're endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association and above all else, they're GREEN! Awesome.

      I would love to love these! I wear flip flops most of the day and have been looking for earth friendly brands. I need to replace a pair of flip flops and winning a free pair would be a nice suprise! Thank you

      I would love these because I can never afford high quality flip flops and always end up buying from Old Navy.

      Love that they are made in the USA, recyclable and the best...have anti-slip. It's so hard to find good flip flops that don't slip.
