Is the weather warm where you are too? Summer is here so we're focusing on sandals made in the USA. Here's our source list for American made flip flops, sport sandals, dressy and stylish sandals too.
The U.S. imports 97% of its footwear, so it can be difficult to find American made shoes, but hopefully you've seen our American Made Shoes: The Ultimate Source List.
Made In USA Sandals
Minimalist Earthing Sandals: Earth Runners

Inspired by the ancient Tarahumara huarache running sandals, Earth Runners combine the timeless unisex design with the barefoot benefits of grounded earthing shoes. Earth Runner running sandals recreate that one-of-a-kind primal experience of running or hiking barefoot, while minimizing risk of injury to your feet. These American made sandals are perfect for all of your outdoor adventures.

Gurkee’s Rope Sandals are 100-percent Made In the USA! The owner moved the manufacturing from Mexico to West Virginia a couple of years ago. Made of the same yarn that goes into carpet, Gurkee’s Rope Sandals are so lightweight wearing them is like going barefoot. They’re machine-washable and available in six styles and many colors.
I need an arch support in my flip flops, like the Sketchers ones. Can I find anything like that American made???
[above] OLA sandals are super comfortable flip flops, with arch support, made in California. They are lightweight and flexible, made from PolyEcoPro. You can even send in your old flip flops to be recycled. Check out the fun and fresh colors they offer.
Not only are these flip flops great, the company donates 5% of all profits from OLA towards Heel The Bay to help preserve our ocean, rivers and the ecosystem.
I’m with Molly B – I have plantar fasciitis and super-high arches so I can only wear high arch support…was wearing Moszkito until they (apparently) went out of business, have switched to Vionics Orthaheel but I would LOVE to wear USA-made!
Chaco has a line of sandals and flipflops that are made in the USA–and made to order! Fantastic arch support!
I love that they are made in the USA – I especially think the Sbicca are cute!
I love sandals
I have two pairs of Okabashi flip flops. LOVE that they will recycle them!
I had no idea that we imported that much of our shoe inventory! Because my feet are pretty deformed due to arthritis and lupus, it can be very hard for me to find shoes that fit, period. I have to wear a closed toe sandal, no heel, which makes it close to impossible to find shoes that fit, that I can also afford. But I will check into these companies that you listed and keep my fingers crossed.
We do as well sandals,from genuine leather,made here in Miami,Florida,U.S.A. Reach us at http://www.depablosandals.com
Scandic Footwear Clogs, perhaps the best clogs in the world, are made in New Hampshire.
All of these sandals look wonderful. I think I would really like to try the OLA sandals flip flops. I love the colors and they look so comfortable.
Love love love <3 these Made in USA sandals.
I am a big sandal wearer so thanks for this review. Great companies featured.
Don’t forget SAS in San Antonio, Texas. Great styles and really comfortable shoes. Most of their styles are made in the USA, and those that are not are made in Italy, where they have another factory.
Informative read, the Okabashi flip flops look great!
I had no idea that Zappos let user search specifically for products made in the US – that’s fantastic!
My niece just lives in flip flops, lol. I got her a pair of the Telics & she really likes them. She also has some Oofos; are they American made? I thought they were.
I buy often at Zappos ….it’s very nice to have a filter for American made shoes. Thanks!
i love the look of these,they look so comfortable
Our company, Tidal New York, manufactures flip flops out of our factory in New Rochelle, NY. We mold them out of soft, durable polyurethane rather than sheet-cutting out of EVA, like most. They also feature some arch support!
I got Telic Sandals for my niece & she really likes them. Flip Flops are are Summer staple in footwear, lol.
Chacos are made in Rockford, Michigan by Wolverine Worldwide.

I’m so much love in flip-flop sandals in summer.Having a pair of good sandals is always important.All of these sandals look wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.
Gurkee’s rope sandals that are made in West Virginia are unique and seem so well made. I would love a pair like these for the summer.
I love these and being American made I know that they will last a long time.
Hi! Rainbow Sandals still has a factory in San Clemente, California – their Americana line is made there (possibly others as well; last time I visited the factory store it appeared that other styles were being produced on-site, too.)
Not ALL Telic flip flops are made here in the USA any longer. 25% is made in China. How long before they move all of the production overseas?
