15 Excellent American Made Sandal Brands
If you’re looking for what sandals are made in the USA then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve researched and compiled this alphabetical list of men’s and women’s American made sandals both to help you find great sandals and help spotlight our local gear makers including a couple of my personal favorites, Bedrock Sandals and Okabashi.
Bedrock Sandals
Bedrock is quickly becoming a go to adventure sandal brand. They’ve also become my personal favorites. I didn’t expect the ultra-simple Cairn sandals to be so secure and comfortable but they’re even better than my old Chacos and far lighter. Their rugged vibram soles grip terrain well. I wore nothing but these sandals for 3 weeks in Thailand and was glad that I didn’t take any other footwear.
