KINO Sandals

"Want to do a bit of shopping in Key West and really help support the local economy? Kino Sandals are affordable and handmade by skilled craftsmen at their Key West Factory. The store was opened in 1966 by Cuban immigrants, and is now managed by the third generation. By Erica House"

"A Key West staple since 1966, Kino Sandals' hand-crafted footwear draws just as many tourists as it does, locals; both are loyal to the brand for its affordability and high-quality craftsmanship. The shop, a must-visit while in town, has become a Key West signature souvenir. The sandals are incredibly well-priced ($18 to $21)—get a pair in every color—and there are also purses and wallets worth scoping out. Be sure to visit the back of the store, too, where you can watch the master shoemakers in action." - Nancy DePalma
