OluKai

I don’t suspect that many people think about the environmental footprint that their shoes make.  Fortunately, OluKai realizes the impact of each shoe, so that you can take a step towards a greener future – literally!   OluKai is a company that takes its environmental mission very seriously, and it shows in the quality of their products.  Never sacrificing their philosophy for comfort and style, OluKai has created the perfect marriage of conscientious and comfortable footwear.

Olukai’s motto is “the ocean is what grounds us.”  This manufacturer draws from the ocean to create high quality footwear for those who live in and around the water.  They also are very committed to respecting the environment around them, including the people that they work with.  This comes from their background being in the Polynesian culture, which they strive to preserve and give back to.

Hawaii. Endless white sand beaches, cool crashing waves, clear blue skies, and killer volcanoes (wait, forget that last part). Beautiful women greet you when you arrive and drape aromatic flowers around your neck and plant a kiss on each cheek.  So many of us dream of it, but who among has actually taken the plunge? Not me. But the day I found the OluKai Ohana sandal, i felt like I was as close as I’d ever be.

The ocean grounds us as it connects us to our history, community and even to our planet.  This is the belief of OluKai footwear.  They also believe that the islands bring about inspiration and the sense of family, comfortable climate, and relaxed lifestyle that can be found there.
