Kino sandals, located in Kino Plaza on Green St, a block off of Duval, is a mainstay in old town Key West and my lifelong favorite maker of flip flops. The men's lilly are unbeatable. Handmade for decades, and still less than $30 per pair, Kinos are the ultimate sandal. The company specializes in many handmade leather products but their traditional flipflop is in 2024 still unbeatable. I can only speak for myself because I can walk in them all day, day after day, and even hike on moderate level trails in my Kinos with zero issues. Some may need greater arch support or have other issues that require more specialized footwear but Kinos have been my lifelong go-to during every summer since the 1980's. These sandals last for years without problem - one of my favorite things about them. For men the styles and colors are much more limited unfortunately though the blues, black, browns, and occasional specialty colors are more than enough to keep my options fully loaded whenever it's warm enough to leave my sneakers behind and don any of my favorite summer footwear. To me, everyone body else is second to Kinos. Kinos are high quality, attractive, colorful, and...
Read moreI love Keno sandals I've owned a few pair of them. Last time I was down there we were staying in Marathon but my buddy and I just had to get a new pair of Keno sandals so we made sure we took a drive from Marathon down to key West just to get the sandals I've been to key West enough times I wasn't really too concerned about going anywhere else. Got to The kino store it was exactly 4:00 they close at 4:00 a man stepped outside the door and it was locking and I said we told a man come on let us in let us in we're going to buy some sandals we both came here just for the sandals. You know he wouldn't open the door and let us come in we wouldn't have been there 10 minutes made himself while they're over $100 a pair figure you would have made himself close to $300 if not more and he lost our sale and I haven't bought another pair of Keno since then. I mean come on what it'll take him photo of any cash transaction and he could have put the money in the till in the morning I'm sorry but Eric customer service they could have been a...
Read moreI purchased my 1st pair of Kino sandals in 1986, they were a trusted companion until 1995, when I wore a hole in the foot bed (not the soles) I continued to wear them around the house until 1997 when it was time to let them finally go. I had a trusted back ups ready to go during those years, but the 1st were trusted favorites. A trip to Key West is not complete without a trip to the KINO store. When friends head to Key West, it’s always, can you stop and get me another pair of KINOs (that just happened, and I love my 2 new pair. Turquoise and the patterned purple) When I’ve traveled and see someone wearing KINO sandals, always share a hello and compliment the fine choice of sandals. So, today ordering some for a KINO newbie, I hope they love theirs as much as I’ve loved ever pair...
