I have seen this place many times but I didn't know anything about their story or products. When my friend told me that this was the only place made this sandles, I had to check them. This place is a factory and you get to try their sandles. The lady behind my counter was busy chatting with her friends even I was ready to pay. So, the service could be a bit slow. But the prices are not bad and they have some cute colors. I ended up buying a salmon pink sandles, a wallet, and a hair accessory. If the sandles are comfortable, I may go back. read more

Stopped in to checkout out this Key West Sandal Maker - the store front is exactly that a store front so don't plan on going on a shopping spree where you can browse for hours this is the actual factory and the selections are displayed on the one and only counter, you pick the style and color and one of their friendly employees will provide you with that product if it's in stock - if it's not you can go online at kinosandals.com. Living in Florida I practically live in sandals and flip-flops so I have quite the inventory from Reefs to OluKai but I wanted to see if there was something here that offered a different style which they do, but today I just couldn't find a pair that I couldn't live without, I'm sure I'll regret not making a purchase while here but at least I was able to hold a few pairs in my hands and see the quality so I likely will be placing an order online when I return home. Cool place, nice employees and quality products, it's likely I'll return when I'm back in Key West... read more

A locally owned business which has been a part of Keys West since the 1960's where they make homemade men's and women's sandals. All natural leather and quality stitching. With 17 styles of sandals, the catered to women mostly but there a few men's options too. See attached pictures. All sandals were open-toe style. Very reasonably priced, they were about $30 each! To me a GREAT price for handmade, quality sandals. Also don't expect a sandal or shoe box when buying them. They use small plastic bags. A family member will help you get the correct size. Just ask and it will be delivered. Men's sandals may run a smaller. I wear a 10 1/2 and she had me try a size 12 which fit perfectly. My wife is a size 7 and her sandal is a size 7. The store itself is quaint and small. When you walk in you are greeted with a front counter that displays all the sandals. So no browsing through the store. Behind the front counter is where they make the sandals. NOTE: it can get pretty warm in there, so you might perspire a little bit. Comfort - the insoles are slightly cushion. So don't expect to walk a 5 mile hike in them. However for going out to an event with some walking, they are nice and stylish to be in. HINT - Walk in them for a few days to "break" them in for added comfort. Natural leather might conform to your foot sole. read more

Great place to get sandals the ladies make them in the front of the shop. I have had mine for a long time

Kino sandals is a Key West tradition and destination whenever you visit the Keys. The business is family owned and has been around for decades. All the sandals are handmade right there on site. The whole family is patient and kind and helps everyone who enters from the tiniest kid to the elderly who are looking for style and comfort. The best thing about the sandals are they leather so you can soak them to loosen them up for the best fit. If you are ever in Key West you need to stop in and buy a pair. read more

Wow! I would not have known about this amazing local leather sandal maker (small purses and other limited accessories too) had it not been for a couple we met on our food/drink/history Tour who has been to Key West numerous times. They make the sandals IN KEY WEST and they have a counter with the various styles and color combinations available. Employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. Did I mention how affordable the sandals are?!?! You will be amazed especially at their comfort! Bought several pairs and a few for gifts. A 20-something walking in and had them on and said she's been wearing that pair for 6 years. Love supporting locally home-grown businesses! Do not miss! read more

Kino sandals, located in Kino Plaza on Green St, a block off of Duval, is a mainstay in old town Key West and my lifelong favorite maker of flip flops. The men's lilly are unbeatable. Handmade for decades, and still less than $30 per pair, Kinos are the ultimate sandal. The company specializes in many handmade leather products but their traditional flipflop is in 2024 still unbeatable. I can only speak for myself because I can walk in them all day, day after day, and even hike on moderate level trails in my Kinos with zero issues. Some may need greater arch support or have other issues that require more specialized footwear but Kinos have been my lifelong go-to during every summer since the 1980's. These sandals last for years without problem - one of my favorite things about them. For men the styles and colors are much more limited unfortunately though the blues, black, browns, and occasional specialty colors are more than enough to keep my options fully loaded whenever it's warm enough to leave my sneakers behind and don any of my favorite summer footwear. To me, everyone body else is second to Kinos. Kinos are high quality, attractive, colorful, and fantastic value. read more

My mom has loved this sandal company for 40 years and anytime anyone has been in town she asks for them to bring some home. This was my first visit and I do love these sandals too. Very comfortable, and hold up really well. Black is a VERY popular color so the do run out of sizes in the popular colors and I don't think they do half sizes in mens larger sizes. I do wish they had some more young boy sandals, the kid sandals they had were a bit too feminine for my sons style. read more

I mean Kinos are classic Key West - handmade from Cuban immigrants- you must pay a visit here and grab a few pairs of the sandals- they last forever-such good quality. They have the classic version and now some different 'flavors' flip flops, banded, ankle wrapped and little bedazzled starfish, ladybugs Also have leather goods such as bags, key chains and purses read more

This place was on my list for a visit while in Key West. The location is in a little mall of stores that you could easily miss. The inside of the store was a step back in time. Wooden walls and countertops with Sandals on display everywhere and the staff behind the scenes making it all happen. You can see them from the counter making their products in the back. I tried on a few pair (the men's offering pales in comparison to the ladies) and the staff was very helpful with picking out the right size and look. For $21 I was the happy new owner of a locally made, hand stitched and iconic pair of sandals! A simple small business with friendly employees, making a great affordable product! read more

I have been coming here for years! same great quality at the same GREAT price!!! can't recommend their sandals enough!

First off, great inexpensive sandals. Yes, they make them right there! I support all products "Made in America." The sandals last. My previous pair was around 7 years old. I would find it impossible to order them online. There is quite a bit of fit variation within the same size. In store, you select the style and size you want to try. The employee brings you one pair to try from the basket that has like 50 pairs of the same in it. I had to beg to get her to let me try multiple pairs. She said she wished she "had more time" to help me. It's not that difficult when you are trying for fit variations in the same style, size and color sandal. It's not like they will get mixed up. I think I tried 5 pair and got a perfect fit. Then I moved on to a different color in the same style and size. Now, the employee had the hang of it and brought an armful. Second pair I tried were perfect! You cannot go wrong with $25 leather sandals! The employee had the mobile credit card machine in hand. It appeared they only wanted credit card payment. I had cash, but gave her a CC instead. Surprise, they add a 3.5% credit card fee! They don't tell anyone they are doing this and I asked about it, since I did have cash. It was too late. The transaction was already complete. And her response was "all the t-shirt shops are doing this." Well, I am not IN a t-shirt shop. Not sure this is legal as businesses can get this fee refunded on their taxes. As a business, just add that extra $1.50 to the price of each sandal. Don't be deceptive. read more

I visit Key West every few months and always walk past Kino Sandals, but never stopped inside until a few days ago. I have always heard great things and now I see why. It's cool to see the sandals being made in the store, and the prices are also great. I bought two pairs of flip flop style sandals in two different colors and I've already worn them both. No pain or blisters like many new shoes cause. I'm happy with my purchase especially since they're flip flops that look kinda dressy (I actually wore a pair to work today with a dress, and no one noticed.) read more

Sandals are manufactured and sold right around the corner from sloppy Joe's bar. About 20 different styles in the $20 price range in a few colors. The family has been in business for over 100 years making these sandals by hand. They were comfortable but they just weren't stylish. read more

My puppy chewed up my last pair of Kinos. Fortunately, these sandals are so inexpensive so it was nothing to cry about (except maybe the 9 hour drive to replace them). During this last visit, I tried on the various newer styles but Lily was still the most comfortable. My previous pair (chewed up by the dog) was a Julia and I prefer the Lily hands down. SIZING: I purchased a full size up from my normal size (no half sizes available). PRICE: $18-$22 women & men; $14-$15 kids. You can even add embellishments for a few bucks more ($4?) SELECTION: During my last visit, they were sold out of a few kids sizes which was a disappointment (hence the 4 star instead of 5-Star). I even tied to purchase the next couple sizes up and the only option was 3 sizes bigger! However, I realize the sandals are HANDMADE so I completely understand running out of a few sizes. Kino & his wife left Cuba and started the sandal factory in Key West in 1966 and the business continues on with the 2nd generation. His three children continue the family legacy of hand-crafted, made in the USA leather sandals. Now, they are able to ship sandals so you don't have to wait for your next cruise stop in Key West to try out a pair. I went through the online checkout since I was curious what the shipping rates were - it's $6 for the 1st pair & $3 per additional. Not too bad. However, if you are in the area, I read on their website that you can even watch the sandals being made. Anyway, bottom line, support a local business and you won't great spending the $20 bucks! LOCATION: Look for Kino Plaza on the corner of Green Street and Fitzpatrick Street. I wish I had a bit more time to check out the purses and browse longer but had to get back on the ship before it left without me! read more

Kino Sandals - Hand-made leather sandals - made in the USA in Key West, FL - Shoe Stores Near Me - Key West, Florida

What's wonderful reputation this shop has all around Florida. When a friend heard I was heading to Key West, she asked me to pick up some Kinos. Although I had been to KW before, I never purchased any of these sandals. They are well made on the premises. There are a variety of colors and styles. My husband even bought a pair and he is PICKY about sandals. I ended up getting two pairs for my friend and two pairs for me. I believe each pair was $24 or maybe $25. I have worn both pairs and yes!!! Comfortable!! These are famous!! Go get yourself a pair. read more

So in Key West for the day and showing hubby the must go stops so we beeline into here. One being we were on a cruise and I knew he didn't pack any flip flops. Once inside the same familiar store I fell in love with the starfish ornaments you can add for only an additional four dollars. Well I love starfish but I rightfully thought it was four dollars each shoe but it was for both. This place is beyond affordable and what a great souvenir but a pair that is actually still made in Key West. So hubby got a pair in Navy blue for him and his son. I got four pairs one for me with pink starfish, one for my step son's girlfriend who will be visiting the same thing. Also I ordered a pair with violet stars to my Mother in law in Maine and another to my sister in law in New Hampshire a pair with royal blue stars. At the time of this review they still didn't receive them as they use snail mail here LOL. I am sure they are going to love them as much as I do when they finally get them. Anyway glad to see that they are doing new things. Living in Florida flip flops is a wardrobe staple so I will definitely be back. read more

Love this shop. I live in FL and wear these sandals all year. This is my fourth or fifth time stocking up here on my yearly visit to KW and it's tough to pick just a few pair. Lots of stars for the quality and price of these sandals. Minus one star because they need some friendly help behind the counter. Also- found out this year they do NOT make the purses being sold there. Stick to the sandals! read more

We always make a stop at the Kino Sandal Factory. The sandals (at least the women's shoes) are nice quality at good prices. I'm not sure what is up with the men's shoes. They are just plain ugly... It's fun to buy the shoes here, where others are being made in the background and you buy shoes from empty beer boxes. ;) The Kino Sandal Factory has been in this spot since 1967! read more

What trip to Key West is complete without a pair of these iconic sandals. Years ago, my mother gave my wife a pair as a gift. She loved them until they wore out a few years later. So, when we decided we were coming down to Key West, I knew I wanted to get her another pair. The shop is actually a factory. The location is very laid back. Every pair is made by hand. Behind the front counter you can watch the employees assemble to sandals. Once the pair is completed, they put them in random cardboard boxes around the front. The boxes were everything from an old Amazon box to Dos Equis. You can select a pair and try them on in store until you get the model and size that you love. I did not realize how affordable these sandals are! For being such an iconic brand, I only paid $20 for their classic pair of ladies sandals. This place is a neat package deal. You get the experience of watching the sandals be made, try them on, and for an affordable price, you can walk out the store with a brand new pair of iconic flops! read more

Saw this place on channel 6 a few years back and have heard many good things about them so when we stopped here as one of our ports on our transatlantic cruise I knew that we would be going. It's not a huge place but you can easily find them. Jenny helped us at the store and she was cheerful and sweet. I ended up getting two pairs of sandals and they ran $41. They have about 5 colors /3 design for men. Many many selections as far as color and design for woman. Great quality and a excellent price. Enjoy as we are doing at this very moment on our ship. read more

Absolutely love Kino sandals! So comfy and stylish. Y'all can have your Tory Burch slides, I will keep my Kino's, best made sandals in all of the USA. The location is kind of tucked away but still easy to locate. The A/C isn't too good but your in the keys it's hot either way and I'm sure you had a few cold drinks before stumbling in and buying a pair in every color. You will be alright. If you never been to Key West you must get you a pair. read more

Another trip to Key West and another mandatory stop at the Kino Factory! Still the best sandals around and part of Florida history. I have been wearing Kinos since the 80s (they cost around $8 then) but still really affordable at $20 now. They last for years as well and I think they get more comfortable as they get broken in. The store is also the factory and it hasn't changed much in many years. Still hot as hell in there as I don't think they have a/c and you can watch them making them as you wait. The sandals are arranged by the styles and colors that are available at the time. Sometimes they change. They have bins and you can try them on to get the correct size. They haven't changed much with the times which I think is part of the charm and will mail you your sandals with the regular post office. (But I did notice they now have a website and are on Facebook.) read more

This review is per my Dad who has been buying Kinos since the 70s. He swears that these sandals are the best and most comfortable sandals that he has ever owned. We just went today and purchased two Kinos today and claims that the sandals haven't changed and they are still as great as his first pair and they are inexpensive at anywhere from $13-$20 a pair! If you are in Key West, make it a point to stop by the Kino factory. The factory smells of rubber and you can see the ladies at work making the sandals behind the counter. read more
