OKA b. Footwear to Donate Thousands of Shoes to Breast Cancer Patients in October

OKA b., a leading U.S. manufacturer of eco-chic and recyclable footwear, today announced the launch of its newest initiative, dedicated to bringing comfort and a bit of pampering to thousands of breast cancer patients in the United States.

For every pair of shoes sold online during the month of October, also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Atlanta based company will donate one pair of its most popular sandal The Madison Slide ($25 - $40) to breast cancer patients currently going through treatment at cancer centers nationwide, up to 50,000 pairs in total.



“While other strategic partnerships focus on percentages of sales donated to non-profit organizations for research and development, OKA b. is choosing to furnish product as gifts directly to those who are suffering,” says OKA b. Founder and CEO, Bahman Irvani. “We believe this complements the long term impact of research dollars.” OKA b. sandals are known for their extreme comfort and distinctive design, enabling a cancer patient the opportunity to be pampered and relax while going through treatment. The feminine and flirty touches on the shoes are an added bonus, giving patients another reason to smile.

As with all of OKA b.’s footwear in the recently unveiled Winter Collection, the Madison Slide features the company’s signature reflexology inspired massage beads and ergonomic foot bed, is waterproof, antibacterial and seamlessly designed, made in the USA from one piece of the company’s proprietary recyclable Microplast™ material. Price points on all of OKA b.’s shoes are between $20 and $40.

Customers wishing to purchase shoes during the month of October to help reach the company’s goal of 50,000 donated pairs are asked to do so online at ShoesThatLoveYou.com using coupon code CountMeIn.
