Care Instructions for Rainbow Sandals
Rainbow sandals were first made in 1974 by Jay R. Longley. Each Rainbow sandal is produced by hand with special glue created by Mr. Longley. A special glue was invented to help keep the shoes together, so they could stand up to wear and tear and last longer than other rubber sandals. The sandals come in a variety of materials, which can all be cleaned in the same manner. Some materials used to make Rainbow sandals include hemp, plastic and leather. Rainbow sandals are a favorite of beach combers, surfers and fashionistas alike.
