About Oka-B
Oka-B makes sandals, flip-flops, slides and ballet flats at its family's shoe factory in Buford, Georgia. The shoes use a bio-based material that contains US-grown soy, and the brand runs a closed-loop recycling program.
Heritage & History
Oka-B started out as a spa shoe built around the principles of reflexology and ergonomics. The line is run by the first woman to lead her family's third-generation American shoe factory, and it has since grown to dozens of styles and colors, including flip-flops, slides, sandals and ballet flats.
The brand's designs focus on foot health, with features such as arch support, slip resistance, non-marking soles and easy cleaning. Its vegan bio-based material is 45 percent soy grown in the USA, and recent sandals contain 15 to 25 percent recycled material.
Made in Buford, Georgia
Oka-B says all of its shoes are handmade in Buford, Georgia, and counts itself among the roughly one percent of footwear still made in the USA. The bio-based shoe material is made in the USA as well, while the brand says it is still looking for domestic suppliers for shoe attachments, accessories and decoration, which are currently imported.
The factory runs a closed-loop recycling program. Customers can mail worn Oka-B shoes back to the Buford plant: clean pairs are recycled into new Oka-B shoes, and contaminated pairs go into non-apparel goods.
