Malibu's mission is simple: create comfortable, stylish and modern sandals using innovative, cruelty-free materials that deliver everyday wearability.
Malibu has arrived.
Founded in Malibu California 2014 by Kevin O’Neill, the brand started as a search for an ergonomic multi-purpose sandal for wandering the hills and coastal beaches of Malibu that still looked cool. This quickly turned into a fascination with the huarache sandal and its iconic part in the history of late 1950s surf culture in Southern California. The huarache was traditionally made in Mexico with hand woven uppers and a both balanced and harmonious appearance.
“Our homage to this Mexican heritage silhouette was simple, create a functional woven sandal born from the proper ergonomics for all day wear” a woven style sandal inspired by the practical legacy of the Mexican Huarache sandal. honouring the history it carries with it from the shores of Baja Mexico to Southern California.
Malibu sandals are handcrafted in Cambodia and every pair are made with PETA-Approved Vegan materials, hand-crafted with water friendly materials and are 100% cruelty-free.
