Patrick AND SCOTT Strader

FOUNDERS

In 1976, brothers Pat and Scott Strader found the perfect part-time job to put themselves through college: repairing and re-selling slightly irregular California made sandals. However, by the late 1970’s, there was a major shift in the location of sandal manufacturing. What used to be made in the United States was rapidly changing location to Southeast Asia. Realizing what this would do to the quality and integrity of sandals, Pat and Scott created “The Sandalman,” a company that would hand-make each and every sandal with only top-quality American materials— guaranteeing comfort and integrity in every step.

The Sandalman is a company that refuses to compromise quality for quantity. We recognize the importance and confidence that goes along with American manufacturing, and we hand-craft products that fall in line with those standards. This type of craftsmanship and integrity is what makes us more than just a sandal-making company—it makes us an anomaly in a global industry.

The Sandalman: still made in the USA since 1976!
