I am in love with my new ALOHAS sandals. I ordered the “Harper” sandal in a beautiful ecru with adjustable straps on the top and heel to keep my feet secure. They also have a cushioned flat form with arch support. I tested them out at home and then (eek) took the plunge and wore them to work. A full day of commuting on trains and sidewalks and standing and bending and lifting and carrying. They passed the test! I am elated! As a stylist I am always on the hunt for a stylish and comfortable shoe as it is a job requirement. These are a real fashion and lifestyle find!

How do you get them? ALOHAS are available on their website and in limited styles at select retailers.

I wanted this style and color and went to their website. I ordered them on April 22, 2022 and they arrived June 23, 2022. Why did these sandals take so long to be delivered in this instant gratification world that we live in? Well, they are made to order. Alohas is a company that believes that sustainability begins before manufacturing. By creating sandals that are made to order there are no wasteful overages. And to entice a customer to pre-order they discount their retail price. A win-win-win! After all, sustainability is good for the planet so we all benefit! As the shoes get closer to ship date the discount reduces. This is from their website:

HOW ON-DEMAND WORKS

LAUNCH → Every Thursday we launch a new drop at 30% off. This drop is available to pre-order for two weeks.

PRODUCTION → After this time, first orders will start to be produced, and new orders will have a discount drop of 15%.

SHIPPING → At this stage, items are now in stock and at full price.

I was initially drawn to ALOHAS because of their cushy looking footbeds coupled with their good looks. The fact that they are eco-conscious and the shoes, while not cheap by any means, are not the most expensive, either. And taking into account their high quality and discounts, they are more affordable than most other shoes made to order. ALOHAS are also not just sandals and have a large variety of styles for all year round with a broad range of designs and colors ranging from more traditional to adventurous. There are even vegan options.

ALOHAS extends their chic eco-conscious brand to clothing and accessories, too! Dresses, tops, skirts, pants, swimwear, sportswear, shorts, jeans, jumpsuits, knits, coats, jewelry and handbags - they have you covered from head to toe for a full day and night all year round!

And for those of us who are wary to order online there is free ship over Euro 150 with free returns to Spain, European Union*, the UK, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Please double check their website for the latest ship and return policy as it can change.
