During these four years he saved his money and got a small business loan. He opened the doors of KINO SANDALS in 1966. All of the sandals are handmade using natural leather straps and natural rubber soles. They are assembled and glued in our traditional sandal factory where the "sandaleros", the old-world sandal maker, works diligently at his station. In the aisles around the sandaleros you will see boxes of unfinished sandals as they move through the different stages of manufacture.
