About Us
Who is Bandals?
How many times have you gone on a trip for business or personal vacation and found yourself carting along an extra bag full of shoes? If this sounds familiar to you, then you can understand where Bandals came from.
"Wow, What A Concept"
Like most great ideas, that's how it happened. Bandals began with a simple idea, to create a footwear product that would change with the busy lifestyles of today's consumers. After six years of initial designs, bio-mechanicals, foot testing, focus groups and patent filings, Bandals was able to introduce the first truly integrated and interchangeable band sandal. We have worked tirelessly to create an interchangeable sandal that truly looks like a custom sandal. The secret is in our patented slide-through technology. Our bands seamlessly integrate with the base of the shoe. This allows the sandal to be quickly and easily changed simply by sliding the band through the mid-sole slot. So, depending on your mood, fashion desires or setting, you're ready to go. That's why at Bandals® we say we're "Changeable By Design™".
Fashion Meets Function
Our sandals are a fashion designers delight. But the one thing we learned through focus group studies and with talking with "on-the-street" consumers, they had to be comfortable for all day use. In fact, once we really spent some time with these potential consumers, the list of "wants" began to get long. That's when we realized fashion had to meet function. Our research revealed that what you're really looking for in a sandal is comfort, fashion-forward design, price and quality materials. Bandals® Footwear delivers all that and so much more. Because of our slide-through band technology, Bandals® enables you to change your "look" when the mood strikes you. So have fun and express yourself!
Design That's So Great It's Patented
The Bandals sandal has it all, from the contoured heel, gently sloped footbed, to a soothing foot supporting arch. We cradle your foot for all day, every day use. But that's only part of the story. To accompany the bases, Bandals has designed a selection of out-of-this world bands that let you express the real you. All of our bands are made with the highest of quality and a wide range of styles.
