    Meet Tori! We call it the Everywhere Tote because that’s where it’s best used—everywhere! It’s perfect for the beach, poolside, the classroom, tailgating, soccer games, and more. Oka-B is a footwear brand designed for women and created based on the belief that good health starts from the foot up. The brand’s most-loved features include arch support, slip resistance, non-marking, and easy cleaning. All Oka-B products are made with love in their factory in Buford, Georgia, using vegan bio-based material made in the USA. Unlike traditional disposable flip-flops, they are built to last and be enjoyed season after season.
