Bandals Steps Into the Spotlight with Unveiling of Innovative Beach Bandals Footwear
Atlanta, GA — Bandals International, a new manufacturer and marketer of high quality footwear, based in Commerce Township, Mich., is proud to announce the launch of Bandals® (Bandals.com), patented sandals that are stylish, comfortable and offer interchangeability.
Bandals’ introductory style, Beach Bandals® , is a thong style sandal available in four base colors – black, cream, pink and brown – and is scheduled to be unveiled Jan 6-14, 2009 at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishing Market (Showroom #1818 – AmericasMart Building 2, located at 230 Spring Street).
“Bandals’® approach to footwear gives its customers the tools to create a stylish shoe and customize it to their personalities,” said Bandals International President Thomas Sesti. “Unlike other attempts at interchangeability, Bandals® are high quality shoes providing great comfort while offering the ability to wear a new sandal every week.” How does it work? Bandals® footwear has an interchangeable upper or band, allowing a single shoe base to be worn with a variety of uppers. The sandal allows the consumer the ability to create their own personal footwear look to match their character, mood, fashion and pocketbook. The more than 20 interchangeable bands seamlessly integrate with the base of the shoe. This allows the sandal to be quickly and easily changed, by simply sliding the band through the mid-sole slot.
Bandals® comfort and design features include:
- Sponge EVA footbed and midsole for long lasting comfort
- Rubber outsole for traction and durability
- Molded contoured foot bed for improved fit
- Comfort arch for support and comfort
- Cradled heel cup for added stability
Beach Bandals® retail for approximately $34.99 – $40.00 per pair, while additional Bandals® Bands are $11.99 -$14.99 per pair. In addition, Bandals® will introduce new band designs nearly every month to keep the product fresh and continue to offer designs that allow customers a wide range of choices to match their style.
Beginning January 2009, Bandals® will be available at Shoebuy.com and other online footwear sites, as well as select retailers across the U.S. Please visit Bandals.com for a listing of retail locations.
