Okabashi: The Flip Flop with a 'Curved' Appeal

Okabashi, a U.S.-based designer of therapeutic footwear endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) recently introduced the new 2009 Okabashi Splash and Surf flip flops. Featuring a new, curved heel to incorporate fashion and summer fun versatility, Okabashi Splash and Surf flip flops are perfect to wear on the beach, at the pool, the gym, or outdoor.

The Women’s Splash combines a comfortable foot bed with a fashion-forward 1.75-inch curved heel, featuring the same arch support and massage beads as Okabashi’s classic Flip Flop. Okabashi Splash comes in four fun colors- black, brown, white and chartreuse.


The Men’s Surf is built with a wider foot bed and a relaxed style brings out the beach-lover in anyone or is a perfect after sports/workout recovery shoe. The Surf is non-slip for sure footing on the beach, boardwalk or backyard. Okabashi Surf is available in brown or black.

Okabashi Splash and Surf each retail for $14.99- surprisingly affordable for what you can get- fashionable design, durability, and comfort.

Okabashi Shoe Features:
* Endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA)
* An exclusive comfort foot bed help relieve back and foot pain
* Two year guarantee
* Machine washable
* Antimicrobial and odor resistant
* Made in the USA for 25 years

Using a unique, proprietary Microplast® material, Okabashi designs its footbed to conform to one’s foot, supporting the toes, arch and heel at the right places, producing healing comfort and helping avoid and alleviate foot, ankle, leg and back pain.

Find more men’s, women’s and kid’s shoes in a variety of styles and colors at www.okabashi.com. Shoe collections include thongs/flip flops, casual slides, mid heel sandals and clogs.

Splash in white, medium. I hope I win this!! I can't wear plain flip flops because they are too flat but I don't want to pay too much for a "fashion" flip flop that is going to take some summer abuse. :) So these might just be the answer to my prayer!!
