Kino Sandals

Your first shopping stop in Key West should be the popular Kino Sandals at the corner of Greene and Fitzpatrick Streets. The place gets packed, so you'll want to get there early. Here you'll find "sandaleros" (old-world sandal makers) hand-crafting a variety of styles using natural leather straps and rubber soles. In 1966, owner Roberto "Kino" Lopez, brought his talent with him when he fled Cuba after Castro's revolution. Three generations later, business is booming. Browse the selections for a style you like, and then ask the ladies behind the counter for your size. The best part is the price. Women's sandals start at $14. When you leave, go ahead and put on your new sandals. Your feet will thank you.
