WiM Georgia Okabashi Shoes Tour

Tour Okabashi Shoes with WiM Georgia!

Since 1984, Okabashi Brands has been a family owned and operated shoe company in the small town of Buford, Georgia, which makes them one of the only 1% shoe companies that still manufacture in the US.

Join WiM Georgia on Friday, August 23 for a plant tour of their facility, which occupies a 100,000-square-foot facility in Buford, GA, ringed by trees in a manufacturing park.

While their sandals and flip flops are focused on wellness and health, they are not meant to be worn on plant tours. Please wear closed-toe shoes with low heels for the tour, and be prepared for a warm setting as the plant is not air conditioned.
