Okabashi

Since 1984, Okabashi Brands has been a family owned and operated shoe company in Buford, Ga. Our shoes have earned a loyal following with over 35 million pairs of shoes sold. Today, over 98% of American-worn footwear is made abroad. We are proud to be in the 2% that has chosen to stay and thrive in the USA. Our shoes are focused on foot health, wellness and fitness recovery. We believe that support and comfort are key to a healthy and active lifestyle. Less than 1% of shoes worn in the United States today are made in the USA. Okabashi shoes are manufactured in Buford, Georgia and each pair travels only 7% as far as the average imported shoe. This prevents 10,000 miles of carbon emissions from the ships, planes and trucks required to transport shoes to the US. Resulting in a 1/200th of the average imported shoe carbon footprint. Our women leadership team goes above and beyond stringent US standards to create opportunity and community for our diverse 200 employees, including veterans. At Okabashi, we believe in closed-loop recycling to reduce the use of virgin material and to keep old shoes from becoming environmental waste. The average pair of Okabashi shoes contain 15-25% recycled material. If you return your well-loved and worn Okabashi shoes to our factory, we will recycle them for use in new Okabashi products or other non-apparel goods. Once we receive your shoes, we will email you a 15% off promo code to use on your next pair of Okabashis as a thank you from us and the planet. ATTN: RECYCLING PROGRAM OKABASHI 4823 ROY CARLSON BLVD.
