Okabashi Celebrates 25 Years as U.S. Based Footwear Designer and Manufacturer

On March 23, 2009 by admin With 0 Comments - Press Releases

– Okabashi stays committed to producing American Made footwear despite the fact that imports supply almost 99 percent of U.S. footwear consumption –

ATLANTA, March 23, 2009 – Okabashi Brands, Inc., a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer, officially kicks off its 25th anniversary commemoration today, celebrating a quarter century of making casual and comfortable shoes in a manufacturing facility inBuford, Ga., just north of Atlanta.

With more than 25 million pairs sold in the US, Okabashi’s “Made in the USA” status is indeed rare when you consider that almost 99 percent of the U.S. footwear market was supplied by imports in 2006, according to a report titled 2006 Trends: An Annual Compilation of Statistical Information on the U.S. Apparel and Footwear Industries issued by the American Apparel & Footwear Association.

For 25 years Okabashi has bucked this trend and produced a domestic product that outperforms overseas competition on design, durability and value. “While footwear fads have come and gone, Okabashi continues to offer a Made in America shoe for consumers who want quality, comfort and arch support at a reasonable price,” said Bahman Irvani, President and CEO. “We will continue to compete against imports by continuing to innovate and stay focused on our core objectives and by not compromising on the quality and durability of our shoes.”

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. This design commitment led to an endorsement of Okabashi shoes by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) for their ability to promote correct weight distribution and posture.

“In addition to our Made in America commitment, we continually make improvements to become an environmental steward,” added Irvani. All material waste created through the production process goes back into the manufacturing cycle, creating, in effect, a “wasteless” closed loop system. Over 15 percent of Okabashi shoes are made from that recycled material.

ACA ENDORSES OKABASHI FOOT THERAPY SHOES

On January 6, 2006 by admin With 0 Comments - Press Releases

ACA ENDORSES OKABASHI FOOT THERAPY SHOES Arlington, Va. (January 9, 2006) – The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) is pleased to announce its non-exclusive endorsement of Okabashi’s line of foot therapy shoes (www.okabashi.com).

Tested by a panel of ACA representatives, Okabashi shoes are designed to promote correct weight distribution and support, and feature an anatomically correct, therapeutically contoured insole with beaded surfaces at the instep and toes.

“Because footwear plays such an important role in the functional biomechanics of the human body, choosing the right shoe can help eliminate pain in your back, hips, knees and feet,” explains ACA President Richard G. Brassard, DC. “Okabashi’s product line provides wearers with a shoe that is designed for comfort and support at a very affordable price.”

“The endorsement from ACA means a lot to our company since we designed our shoes to alleviate the type of back, leg and foot pain that plague people seeking chiropractic services,” said Bahman Irvani, president and CEO of Okabashi Brands, Inc. “We feel that doctors of chiropractic will be excited to offer a comfort shoe to their patients that is both cost-effective and long-lasting.”

The ACA chose to endorse Okabashi shoes because of their:

Foot support and massaging comfort
Durability and flexibility
Water and slip resistance on wet and dry surfaces

Affordability.
