Got my sandals today! Quality, in every step. Loving the fact that they're American made! Thank you for the attention to detail. There is added pride in wearing and supporting American made items!
I live in SC flops are 12 months here, even in the snow,😂 love these guys mine arrived today, just love them, quality quality is all i can say, these will not be my only pair, i started watching them refinish shoes years ago to finally owning a pair. Def worth twice the price
So happy to have come across your channel and brand! Just ordered a pair of your sandals and cannot wait to get them under feet! I am out in San Diego and have religiously worn Rainbows. I work in Pacific Northwest Boots (Nick’s, Whites, etc.); ecstatic to see that caliber of craftsmanship in a sandal! Very much looking forward to seeing how they compare to the Rainbows! Always looking to support veteran owned brands, thank you so much for your craft and content!
Some critical feedback to consider: For a $100, make sure they're "bulletproof." Have been following you guys for a while (I think since around 30k subscribers) and really like the work you do. The quality of materials is great and being American made is a big selling point, but the number one reason I've changed a pair of flip flops is because at some point they've broken and that would be my main concern before buying these. If your design is focused around making them last for the long-term, would be more interested. Maybe even consider some type of lifetime warranty or 10 year replacement warranty with the sandals. I don't just want a sandal with quality materials; I want one that actually lasts. The sandals look great. Good luck with this!
I appreciate the feedback. As a few guys who have invested a lot of sweat, tears and money into this venture, that’s exactly what we’ve already done. We’ve torn apart other brands and compared. We went to the manufacturer of our materials and said we need them to last. We also compared our prices to other popular brands out there that are on par (Hari Mari, OluKai, etc), and we’re all comparable in price. Again, I really appreciate the feedback. We just want folks to know we’re definitely not one of those “TH-camrs” dropping some product on the market looking for a fast buck. As someone who’s watched our channel since the beginning, you know that we preach quality and what to look for in good footwear. We definitely don’t want to tarnish our brand by putting out something that doesn’t hold up and last.
I've got an older pair of their sandals when I believe they were made in Mexico and I wear them quite a lot. They've held up very well and I just finished ordering a pair of these USA made sandals as well. No, they're probably not going to last 10 years but the quality of my first pair was quite high and inline with others at/around this price. I'd rather support these guys than most others which is why I've ordered my second pair from them. Can't wait to receive them.
Thanks for the tour, guys. If any of you out there are wondering whether these sandals are as high quality as they appear, the answer is yes. I have a pair. If you enjoy wearing flip-flops, you'll love them.
Been waiting for this video. Thanks guys. BTW The subject of flip flops got brought up yesterday when I was talking to my massage therapist . He said he was looking for some new ones so naturally I told him where to look so you might be getting a new customer. Also it looks like by no longer stitching around the top sole and having a leather toe thong shortens production time considerably compared to when you made the previous flip flops for the Karl Freidrick giveaway a couple years back.
Definitely will get two pairs this spring/summer here up north , went to the site but it seems still under construction, left my email for notification,
All the work & effort you put into making the sandal in the USA is a wonderful thing! It means everything to me & I will definitely put the word out about you guys! God Bless!
@@TrentonHeath I love 'em! Also, each and every one of your videos, including today's video. Yup, I can see why you use that ventilator table. Woo wee! I smelled the glue when I opened the box, so these are hot off the line. Fantastic quality, as any viewer would expect, and very classy packaging! Thank you!
I got my pair recently. Quick turnaround. Would you consider adding a pop of color to the toe part of the strap? It would entice me to buy more than one pair.
Thank you! We hope you enjoy them. Love the idea! Since we’re in the beginning stages, we wouldn’t be able to at the moment; however, I really like the idea and may consider that. Thanks!
Please consider making a slightly daintier version for women! I see your women's sandals but these are really cool and women like flip flops too! I'd buy for sure.
I just bought a pair of tobacco men’s sandals a few minutes ago! I’m excited to get them! Question! How would I get my sons boots to y’all for re sole?
Thanks for your order! Please send us an email to customerservice@potterandsons.com. We’re not currently accepting any additional repairs, but we’ll be sure to let you know when we are.
I have a pair that I just bought. So nice! Broke in immediately! Can you please start making a box toe option as well?. I tend to end up hiking in my flops, and or walking extended distances as well. I always catch the extra little point in the middle toe. Or can you take custom orders to blunt the front toebox? I’d buy another 5 pairs. Great work, love the channel!
Hi! Just wanna start by saying that I love your videos, so professional and compelling. Please keep going… I have a question for you: I bought a pair of suede Loro Piana Summer Walk and the right shoe feels slightly large especially when I wear ghost socks. The left one is tight and feels perfect. What would be your suggestions to tighten the fit of the right one? The shoes are super brand new and I use show trees regularly. Thanks
Have you guys consider making one with a cork middle similar to Birkenstocks? Also what does the resoling process on these look like if it's possible? Love the content guys, probably gonna pick one up myself as I'm more of a sandal man.
Love this! And don’t mind spending more for quality and made in USA. But how’s the support on those? Or will you eventually make one with support. I usually buy traditional Birkenstocks for that reason. Had ankle and knee surgeries, so I usually have to invest a little more in my footing with support.
Hi! These have basic arch support. They’re a bit thinner up front (still plenty of padding) and they get a bit thicker as they go towards the heel of the foot.
Follow up? They need this especially from the TH-cam community. Plan on getting 4 pairs for family. Wanted to wait a bit to see long term-ish input. Appreciate it.
Any chance that there are non-flipflop models on the way? I can’t stand having a loose heel, lol (Website is currently under construction so I can’t really check)
I'm always looking for size 16 width 4e. I can never find a thong sandal/flipflop. Do you think a line of this, and such widths could be started? It stands to reason that bigger feet would have bigger widths too. I'm hoping to see some 4E and other high end widths like that next year😓🙆♀️
You should team up,with Python cowboy in Florida and off a limited edition python sander with some of the proceeds going back to the Everglades. He tans all of his own Pythian leathers and his leather sales go to help him keep chasing pythons in the glades.

Are you going to make more men's with the green fabric uppers like you had when you started years ago? Mine broke and I'd like to replace them
No, not at the moment. We’ve changed them up quite a bit since then. Wow…those were definitely our old school ones!
You gents immediately grabbed my attention with American Made
American made will be Native American shoes…, just saying,
105!!!!!
😂 because America is known for making good stuff right?
Got my sandals today! Quality, in every step. Loving the fact that they're American made! Thank you for the attention to detail. There is added pride in wearing and supporting American made items!
Made in the USA. Love it. Have a great weekend gentlemen. Thanks for the video.
Thank you sir! You as well.

Came from Rose Anvil's channel. Ended up purchasing a pair. Got em with a fathers day discount too!
Nice seeing the process, and ending with some cool packaging. Receiving an item and opening up quality packaging makes a nice difference.
I've had my pair about a month now, and I absolutely love them! Best flip-flops I've ever worn. Keep up the great work.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Gentlemen thank you for bringing back the manufacturing into our country. Congratulations and May God bless the United States of America.

Follow up? How are they? Yes, they're flip-flops, but are they good flip flops...
I love seeing that made in USA stamp! So proud of you guys! I can see these are really nice and high quality!!!
Thank you! We’re very proud to have them back here.
Just ordered a pair - excited and happy to support high quality USA made!

I’m heading to the factory soon! Never knew you were right down the road from me. So cool.

Thanks for the referral! Yes, due to production costs, we had to change up some things, while still making them very high quality.
Definitely will get two pairs this spring/summer here up north , went to the site but it seems still under construction, left my email for notification,
the sandals are great
I have both the Mexico version and the new USA version. Both very good (and comfortable) flops. Keep up the great work boys!
Thanks so much for the support! We really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy them both.
Ooooh this is awesome 😊
Just ordered a pair of walnut in 10. Can't wait to get them. Congrats on all that you've accomplished.
I’m a rainbow sandal guy in the summer. Very interested in these.
Give ours a try when you get a chance. Very similar to Rainbows, with a few tweaks…and much nicer leathers.
Just ordered me a pair 😉👍🏻 Cant wait to get them! Also, from one Veteran to another, thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service…and for your patronage! We hope you enjoy them. 🇺🇸
the mid-sole factory is actually in Sullivan, MO., about an hour outside of STL in my neck of the woods.
I just ordered a pair, can’t wait to try them! I can’t wait till you guys start making Boots
Proud to be part of the TEAM!
Thanks for sharing this! This guy has #2 of the first 100 and they are by far the best sandals I've ever owned.
That’s awesome! Glad you’re enjoying them.
Ditto. Mine were #4. I wonder who #3 is ?🤔
Thanks for showing us this process. Looking forward to owning a pair.
You’re very welcome.
Buen trabajo los mejores en su oficio
Great video. I only wear sandals if I'm going to be near water, but I always watch every video you guys release.
Very nice sandals
Thank you!
Some GOOD lookin' flip-flops, gents.
Thank you sir.
All the work & effort you put into making the sandal in the USA is a wonderful thing! It means everything to me & I will definitely put the word out about you guys! God Bless!
Couldn't be happier with my pair! Feels great sport all US made too!
Great video. Mine arrive this Tuesday, Can’t wait. Thank you for reshoring the entire process.
Thanks so much! We hope you enjoy them.
but looks pretty spot on
Cannot wait to receive mine. Just placed my order yesterday in time for the summer weather to arrive. Big fan here in California! Keep up the great!
Thanks so much! We hope you enjoy them out there in Cali.
Got my pair in walnut on the way 😊
Very cool
You guys are killing it. Love it.
Well done!
I bought me a pair and I'm expecting delivery today! Perfect Florida wear!
😁 Thanks! We hope you enjoy them.

Made in USA Baby! The only way to fly.
American made and looks to be great quality. I will definitely buy a pair of these. Keep up the great work guys!
Mine are coming in tomorrow!! So excited

I enjoy y’all’s videos. When will these be available for sale again? I’m looking forward to purchasing a pair.
Nice video, great structure and detail. A lot more hand work than I expected.
Just ordered a pair. Can’t wait to try them out!

I bought a pair last year when they first came out, I really like them, good luck fellas!!!
So glad you like them! We appreciate it.
It's new and very interesting, thanks
Nice one
That was great to see, guys. Thanks for bringing these awesome videos. 👍 I can't wait to get me a pair.
Just love you two and your talent!
Great being made in Tennessee! Ordering now
Lovely videos Hit the top
Gona get them but I have to wait until the women's are available.
I just bought a pair of tobacco men’s sandals a few minutes ago! I’m excited to get them! Question! How would I get my sons boots to y’all for re sole?

ALRIGHT FINE I'LL FKIN BUY A PAIR!!!
😁😁 We appreciate it!
Great video, guys !
What material is used on the bottom part of the sandal and can they be resoled once worn down?
Polyurethane
Just ordered. I decided to get them for the lady of the house when the women's become available.
That was very cool
Nice looking sandals....
truly amazing!
Looking good!
I love my pair.
So glad to hear that!
Would these be comfy for an EE width foot?
Oh nice! I do a lot of work with the water plant there :)
I want a pair! Maybe add a made in USA tag, kinda like thorogood boots. ☝😎
Nicely done gentlemen!
Keep up the good work!
Now how about some mocs?
Hello thanks for sharing this you have inspired me, can you please let me know the size of the Eva foam (mm) that you used and its hardness
I wish there was an open-toe sandal option available.
Please make a Wide Width model!!! Please!!!

Ordered a pair
Bought my wife a tote bag as well
Thanks

bought two pairs yesterday. I hope they live up to the hype.
Follow up? They need this especially from the TH-cam community.
Plan on getting 4 pairs for family. Wanted to wait a bit to see long term-ish input. Appreciate it.
@@Capius1272 No issues so far. Like a higher quality Rainbow that are made in the USA.
Can we have women’s size in the same style of sandal too! :)
Yes please!
It's on the drawing board. Stay tuned.
Any chance we will ever see an option without the arch swell?
These look great. Who is making a Teva style sandal of this type of quality leather build?
I want to get a pair to replace my rainbows do i order the exact same size as rainbow or is your sizeing different?
Any chance that there are non-flipflop models on the way? I can’t stand having a loose heel, lol
(Website is currently under construction so I can’t really check)
Your website says going through changes. How can we order men’s sandals now?
Any thought to the ultimate American Luxury? Bespoke Southern Polish Sandals?
If I custom order a pair, can you emboss my name on them?
We've thought about doing some customization options in the future.
Are they resolable?
I'm thrilled. Do you ship to Guam??
Yep, we can.
👍👍
What date will your products be available to the public online?
We plan to launch next week. If you haven’t signed up to be notified, please feel free to do so. Thanks!
I'm always looking for size 16 width 4e. I can never find a thong sandal/flipflop. Do you think a line of this, and such widths could be started? It stands to reason that bigger feet would have bigger widths too. I'm hoping to see some 4E and other high end widths like that next year😓🙆♀️
I wish you guys would do toes cover sandals.
Would be nice if you would bundle a sothern polish care kit with the purchase. Extra cost of course
Can we drop by and pick up a pair at the shop?
Absolutely!
We are stocking the shop up now. And yes!
@@TrentonHeath outstanding! #Murica
How do your sandals hold up to exposure to water?
Great! We’ve washed cars in ours, wear them to the pool and beach…. Just let them air dry and you’ll be good to go.
You should team up,with Python cowboy in Florida and off a limited edition python sander with some of the proceeds going back to the Everglades. He tans all of his own Pythian leathers and his leather sales go to help him keep chasing pythons in the glades.
