Our Story

It was a chilly Northern California morning during my last year of college, and as usual, I was running late for class. I reluctantly kicked off my comfy sheepskin slippers, but there was no time for socks and laces that day. I eyed my favorite well-worn pair of sandals sitting by the door. If only I could enjoy their wearability and freedom, plus the comfort and warmth of sheepskin. That’s when the lightbulb went off and Bonsai was born.

We launched in 2005 as one of the first direct to consumer footwear brands, and we’ve been making our customers’ feet happy ever since.

Care Instructions

We like to say that if you treat your Bonsais the way you’d like to be treated, they’ll be in great condition for a very long time. As a note, it’s natural for the sheepskin to mat with wear.

Clean feet = clean Bonsais

Use a soft comb or your fingers to lightly fluff up the sheepskin if it starts to go flat.

If they get dirty, use a very small amount of mild detergent and warm water to gently hand wash, and then air dry. They’ll be good as new.

For All Seasons

Testimonials

“I wear my Bonsais at least two times a week and love them. Always get lots of comments when people see me walking around in them. They are perfect after a hard swim.”

FAQ's

What are Bonsais made of?

Bonsais are made of genuine sheepskin and premium leather. Sheepskin is a natural hide, sourced only as a by-product of sheep raised for human consumption. We acquire our top-grade sheepskin from around the world to ensure consistent quality.

Are they odor resistant?

YES! No matter how much you wear your Bonsais, sheepskin is naturally antibacterial and therefore, odor resistant.

Will they really stay clean?

We say, if your feet are clean, your Bonsais will be too. If they do get dirty, it’s easy to hand wash them with a little mild detergent and let them air dry.

Will they really keep my feet comfortable in hot and cold weather?

Absolutely. Our testers wore them comfortably in temperatures from 35 to 110 degrees. Genuine sheepskin acts as a natural insulator, keeping your feet at the perfect temperature regardless of the weather. It also wicks away moisture and vents every time you take a step.

Are Bonsais good for my feet?

Bonsais are designed with a generous arch and supportive sole, which are both great for your feet.

I usually wear a half size. What size should I order?

Bonsais run true to size, so do what you normally do...if it is a toss-up, we suggest sizing down.

The sandals feel tight, should I get a larger size?

Unlike other sandals, our thick sheepskin and leather strap will mold to your foot. Bonsais will break-in rather quickly, even if they feel a bit tight at the beginning.

Is it possible to place a large order?

Please reach out to us using the form below if you're a retailer interested in selling Bonsais.

What is your return policy?

Free size exchanges are available. If Bonsais aren’t right for you, return them unworn within 14 days for a full refund. Original shipping charges, if any, are not refundable, and we don’t provide prepaid return labels. You send the original pair back; we pay to ship the replacement pair.
