About Malibu Sandals
A coastal footwear company from Malibu, California.
Malibu Sandals start can be traced back to an earnest search for an ergonomic multi-purpose sandal for wandering the inspiring hills and coastal beaches of Malibu.
Through their explorations, the huaraches sandal's part in the history of the late 1950's popularization of surf culture in Southern California fascinated the founders. A pop-culture version of this was born from this 1950's marketing mix of Beach Blanket Bingo, The Beach Boys and Dick Dale - and it was all 'happening on Pacific Coast Highway.'
Reeling from this were local die-hard surfers of the PCH. They found solace in the uncrowded waves and beaches, south past the US border, of Baja Mexico. Alas, 'The Baja Boom' was born. During their travels, they bought Huarache sandals, along with Serapes, Ponchos and local jewelry from local indigenous people of small coastal villages. Surfers and hippies alike wore these Mexican items, popularizing them across California's subcultures and surf community, hence names such as 'surfer sandals' for the Huarache.
Their homage to this Mexican heritage silhouette was simple, create a functional woven sandal born from the proper ergonomics for all day wear. It's a woven style sandal inspired by the practical legacy of the Mexican Huarache sandal. We honor the history it carries with it from the shores of Baja Mexico to Southern California.
