Contemplated in 1972, Jay "Sparky" Longley tested making sandals in his Laguna Beach garage. With 200 dollars, he bought a sewing machine, some rubber & started his goal: To make the best sandal. He officially began Rainbow Sandals, Inc in 1974. Today, we make 2 million pairs a year. Our goal has always been to make a quality product that will not end up as landfill and that goal does not end when our sandals leave the store.

48 years later, our Rainbow Sandals Factory Outlet is still located at 326 Calle de Los Molinos, San Clemente, CA.

All our customers say, 'I love my Rainbow Sandals,' and I hope you will too."
- Jay R Longley, Jr.

We love hearing the stories people write us about the countless miles they have walked in our sandals.

The brown leather ones basically just pair with anything, just like a leather belt, so they got worn almost daily in those warmer months. Eventually around year 3 or 4 they would always start to thin out a bit and the thin, worn down sole would start to separate from the leather and it would be time to buy and break in a new pair.
I’ve always been a moderately sized dude hovering between 180-200ish pounds most of my life after hitting my 7th grade growth spurt, and was never a super active/sporty dude. Occasions where I needed to run or play soccer usually warranted just kicking off my Rainbows before playing, so depending on your weight and how hard you wear them, your mileage may vary.
The leather ones are the nicest looking in my opinion, but when you get them wet, they feel sorta weird and sticky from all the oils from your feet until they dry. The rubber/ones are the most practical since they are waterproof and stuff, but not as nice looking and seemed to wear out a bit faster.
The hemp ones this review are about seem to strike a nice balance between the two. The hemp acts as a sort of gripping surface for your feet and doesn’t feel weird when it gets wet, but still has the structure and durability of the leather underneath.
I got the brown ones this time around as I had a pair of white ones back in high school and, while it’s common sense for every mom and dad that white stains easier than every other color in existence, to a high school guy, the white looked cool and matched everything….
…Till you wear them to the foot doctor to have surgery on your toe and bleed through the gauze…or wear them to mow the yard…or drip a blue raspberry shaved ice on them…you see where I’m going with this…by the time I retired my white hemp ones they were red, white, and blue….and green.
Anyway, grab a pair, try em, wear them in the shower a few times to break them in before walking any long distances in them, then just love them and how trusty they are. Wear em till they wear out, then get another pair.
That life cycle has served me well for the last 15 years and I’ll be buying Rainbows till the day I die or I simply can’t get them anymore!
These hemp sandals are comfortable, look fantastic, fit great and do not smell after months and years of wear. LOVE them. I'm a customer for life.
