I bought my first pair in September and will be going back for more Memorial Day week!

[angelpug]

I'll be picking up a few pairs in July!! I bought my first pair 3 years ago, and they are worn out!!! They are my favorites. It's like walking barefoot, they're so comfortable, and they look so great.

They do take a couple of days to "break in." They are very flat...no arch of any kind, so they feel kinda hard at first, but within a day or two, I didn't know how I ever went through a summer without them!

I also have to pick up some for friends. I'll be bringing a tote just to take home Key West purchases!

Take Care, All!

I see they are cheap, but other than being utterly comfortable (if they are), what's the draw? The pics on the website don't show anything I'd be interested in buying if I hadn't read here...

[gambler]

I think there are more styles available in the store than on the web site. I picked up two pairs last trip and plan on getting more this July.

The are handmade leather shoes. Where else can you buy handmade leather shoes for under $10?

They have very cute styles.

You're right...was just curious, as the website didn't look all that promising...:)

Went to Kino's myself this past Sunday. Bought 2 pairs of shoes & a purse -- all for $ 47.31--all leather (except the soles). Purse was made of very soft leather & fully lined. It was an organizer type I have been looking for in a light to med. brown. Yummy!!! They do have extra sandal styles in the showroom - you can try them on. And call my silly but I think the prices were lower than the website. I paid $ 9 and $ 10 for the ones I got. Purse was $ 25 for soft leather-fully lined. My shopper buddy got 2 pairs. She ended up wearing 1 almost all of the time on the ship. Pretty burgundy color.

I am glad you said about the breakin. I bought them not so much to do laps around the block like my easy spirits but because they were the cutest sandals I have seen & feel like you have nothing on. Got a brown pair and a blue pair -- did not see the blue ones on the website that I can recall. They also had brown, black, red,etc. and green sandals.

There was a couple there with their daughters having a great time. Purchased them in the past and said they were back for more.

Right now Kino's is celebrating their 40th anniversary so they has a special edition sandal & purse. Also saw the cutest backpack bag there but didn't ask about the price.

The factory is located on Greene Street & Fitzpatrick. Very small cross street & most likely not on any guaranteed shopping map. You can easily miss it cause it is in the back of a little shopping area. Mall is called Kino's also. Smell for leather and you will find it. It is not a fancy place.

All I want to say is --THANK YOU TO WHOEVER POSTED EARLIER about Kino's!!!!

When I was in my teens and early 20s I used to buy kinos for $4 a pair. I'd wear them daily and they'd last for a few years until I'd wear them through right under the right big toe. That was late 70s - the 80s. So, they've gone up in price I see.

Now I pay too much for birkenstocks and wear them out the same way - under the right big toe - only they last a bit longer than kinos. For $100+ I'd hope so.

I think I'll have to get a pair of kinos in August, for old time's sake. :) $10? That's still a deal.

[molme]

Do they only sell from their factory or can you buy them at other places in Key West? How close to the port are they? Will be there in two weeks and would like to buy a couple pair.

[bhopal21]

Just at the factory and it is on the little street directly across from the ticket booth for the Conch Tour Train. Just walk up the the ticket booth and turn around and you will be facing Fitzpatrick Street. You won't have to walk more than 200 feet.

Have a great visit!

Mike:)

[molme]

Thanks for the quick response, Mike.

[ruthie0704]

They are the best!! My husband and I go to Fantasy Fest every October and I always have to pick some up for my daughters, sister and friends!! Once you wear a pair--you are hooked!

[BABYJOSIE98]

We are headed back to Key West in 19 days!! We sail on Majesty!! Can't wait....I plan on buying for friends and family this trip too...

Everyone wants a pair! Co-workers are giving me money.

Very comfy and the ones that go between the toes are so comfy you fill like you have nothing there. It is like a really soft type of rope???

Can't wait!!

[MTcruiser]

I just showed my wife this thread...now we have another place to hit on key west . Sure can't wait to go :)

[gambler]

Anyone know if they will be open on the 4th of July??

[bhopal21]

Yes, they are planning to be open 0830-500 on Tuesday.

Have a great visit.

Mike:)

[guineverekay]

I see on the website that you can only get whole sizes, but does anyone happen to know if you can get wide widths or if any of the styles are particularly well suited to wide feet? I will contact the factory, but I thought someone here might know faster.

Thanks :)

Guineverekay

[goofygame]

There didn't seem to be any wide foot options (other than some of the styles being adjustable). FYI mens sizes run small so every male in my group got a size larger and they fit fine. I have a perfect size 6 and my 6's are great.

[guineverekay]

Thanks :)

I guess I'll just have to spend some time trying on multiple pairs...shouldn't be too much of a hardship.

Guineverekay

Guineverekay -- you really should try them on. I have a high arch/instep so some styles didn't fit right, but they had a lot of styles --just keep trying on. And the colors - great!!!

have fun & everyone who goes - let us know what you see -- many thanks - C

I don't know what it is about Kino's sandals (only tried the thong type), but my girls and I love them. It's hard to explain, but they are so comfortable. We wear them almost every day and are anxiously awaiting our chance to buy more on our upcoming cruise.

[slineberry528]

my sister has already given me a list of sandals that she wants. I will be in Key West in about 2 weeks.

[markandpen]

We are returning to Key West in October. Kino sandals are my one must do. I am still wearing two pairs that I purchased in 2002. They are the best sandals I have ever purchased.

After purchasing my first pairs of Kino's 2 1/2 years ago, I made plans to hit it again on our cruise 2 weeks ago.

Definately make this your LAST stop...........the bag will be REALLY heavy when you leave the store;) ! (I bought 5 pairs this time!)

Take Care,
Jaime

[akcruz]

On my Oct 03 cruise stumbled upon Kino's and heard everyone raving about them so bought a pair to try out. The first few wearings you wonder what the deal is, but after that . . . have been hooked ever since! I now own multiple pairs and brought back Kino's for just about every female in the family when we were in the keys last year. Mine are all still in good shape, guess its the fact that there are so many pairs now, but guess I'll just have to plan another trip/cruise to Key West to get more when these wear out!

[robertzega]

I will be arriving in KeyWest on Fri. 8/24 on the Enchantment of the Sea can you give me directions to Kino Sandal store. Thanks

[bhopal21]

You will be directed to the ticket booth for the Conch Tour Train/Trolley located on Front Street, at that booth turn around and face the street and you will see Fitzpatrick Street right in front of you and the Rooftop Cafe to your left.

Mike:)

[robertzega]

Thanks - I'm new at this and wasn't sure I did it right. Any other advise for our short visit to Key West 7:00am to 2:00

[heyheypaula]

I am so excited about going to this store when our cruise on the Rhapsody of the Seas is in Key West. We arrive at 3 and are there until midnight...I assume, like the other shops, this store stays open late...Is that correct?

[cruisemom2]

I believe they typically close around 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.

[heyheypaula]

Wow...If you do any tours, it makes it impossible to get to the store before it closes--especially since we don't dock until 3 CST or 4 EST...:( :confused:

[Dahla]

Love my Kinos!!!

I bought a pair last November, and, living in Ohio, didn't get to wear them until this April when my family and I went to Florida. I wore them for the first time to Universal Studios and spent 8 hours walking in the park with no problem! No break-in period needed! I can't wait until next month when my family and I go back to Key West and I can buy more.

[DMKahlan]

Hello,

We will be on the Celebration and in Key West on Sept 25th. Does anyone know if the ship docks at a pier or if we have to tender in? Also how long does it take to get from the pier to the Kino's Factory? We are on a bit of a crunch and have to be back on the ship and ready for my wife's sister's wedding.

Thanks.

Doug

[BABYJOSIE98]

Your ship should be docked..If you are docked at Mallory Square it is not very far at all to Kino Sandal shop... I believe it is by the Hogs Breath. We were there in July and got off the ship and Kino's was our first shop of the day!! LOVE IT!!

Just ask anyone when you get off the ship and they will point you in the direction of Kino's....

You should have plenty of time!

[newtons_mom]

Kino's are the best sandals. I have a couple pair of the flip flop/thong style and you forget you have sandals on they are so comfy. You can walk forever in them. The bottoms are rather slick on some wet surfaces, but I've learned to be conscious of this. :eek:

[suezyq50]

You will be directed to the ticket booth for the Conch Tour Train/Trolley located on Front Street, at that booth turn around and face the street and you will see Fitzpatrick Street right in front of you and the Rooftop Cafe to your left.

Mike:)

These posts are pretty old. Anyone been there lately?

[bhopal21]

Trust me nothing has changed, they are still in the same location.

Mike:)

[Kevin's girl]

We were there last year and will be going back in 3 weeks. They are great sandals, for a great price. Can't wait to pick up a couple of new pairs.

[rabelgirls]

I have never heard of these sandals before, but my goodness for $10 you can't go wrong. I will definately be checking out this store when we go in September. Humm, maybe some Christmas gifts coming home with me from this trip.

[angiedora]

I can't wait to check this place out!:)
