Things got crowded, so we moved to different locals and bought a bigger van. Todays' world is the "nomadic state of mind", whether it be walking, driving, surfing the web or interplanetary wandering. "nomadic" stems from the latin word "wanderer". Keep it real- is our pledge to you.

What's up with Nomadic State of Mind sandals?

Currently a lot of our rope sandals are being made in a small out of work coffee farm in Nicaragua (the ones without the soles). We taught a small community how to make sandals in hope to produce a job for the community and create a flow of income, and have a lot of fun! Without a lot of fun - who wants a business? All of our artists are paid well, and our hopes are to grow the sandal business offering employment for more of the community. Although the cities are beginning to bustle in often forgot about Nicaragua, many jobs are difficult for people out in the country.

Our sandal making process is time consuming, and after extensive training our sandal artists hand craft each sandal to perfection! Our sandals with soles are made here domestically using vintage sandal making equipment. We cut the soles and imprint the vintage 1970's tread on the bottom, glued on using low v.o.c. glue, this process is time consuming but we like using the abandoned machinery from companies who moved to the east.
