Rainbow Sandals Factory Outlet - San Clemente, California

Rainbow sandals have definitely gotten worse in quality since manufacturing them in China. These sandals used to last a long time. I have purchased two pairs recently that the soles have come delaminated within a couple weeks. They did warranty and reglue them but one of the pairs continued to delaminate. I'm tired of driving back and forth to have them repaired. At $60 for a pair of sandals, i expect quality to be much better. Please read these reviews and make changes for the better instead of just apologizing and telling us to email with any more questions.

I’ve been wearing rainbow sandals since 97 and have never owned a bad pair. There isn’t a shoe or sandal out there that even comes close to the high quality you get from rainbows. Never had a pair I didn’t wear less than 8 years. So many great styles to choose from. Finally picked me up a pair of Bentleys. Love the wallets and coasters. Can’t wait for our next trip back out to visit again. Wish we could get them on Grand Lake Oklahoma. I will always be a proud owner of rainbows.

Legendary Southern California sandal shop making world’s best sandals! I’ve been wearing their sandals for at least 8 plus years and they are still going strong. They aren’t cheap but well made, rigid comfortable flip flops.

I stoped by the other day hoping to find a deal and ended up picking up a same pair that I’m wearing till this day, Holoholo rubber sandals. There is a small section where they have imperfection sandals for discounted price. Staffs are helpful, coastal beach vibes. Right off of Hwy 5, easy access with parkings right in front of the shop. Highly recommend!

Having grown up in Southern California for most of our lives, we're huge fans of Rainbow Sandals. Prices for Rainbow sandals can be quite high from department stores, so we prefer stopping by the factory outlet in San Clemente when visiting SD from LA. If you aren't too picky about the style of sandals, you can find deeply discounted sandals that are getting discontinued or having excess inventory. Just ask any of the friendly staff to help point you to the insane deals. Another interesting item that you will only be able to purchase from the factory store is the giant sandals. Yes, some of those giant sandals lying around in the store are actually for sale. We've bought one and it's still sitting in our living room. The place is never overly crowded, and plenty of parking is available right in front of the store.

Had some East Cape sandals I sent in mail here to see if they would cover a warranty repair. The strap came unglued from one sole. A few months went by and I guess they just tossed them in trash without contacting me, these are not cheap and super dissappointed that they did not contact me to see if I wanted to pay to ship them back to myself. I could have taken them somewhere for a repair. They had some life left in them. Used to be a brand I trusted and in fact had traveled to the outlet to buy these sandals that busted. Don't think I will be shelling out the cash for rainbows again.

This is a large store selling rainbow sandals. They had a wide variety of sandals for men, women, and children. Pretty much any sandal rainbows sells, you can find here. My one complaint was that they don’t make womens shoes small enough to fit me (size 4.5) and the children’s sizes don’t seem to have as much cushioning. But overall this is a great store with helpful staff and good selection.

I have been wearing rainbows for 20 years. Even when it wasn’t cool to show your toes when I lived in Iowa, I still rocked my rainbows. I just came here to get matching rainbows with my wild toddler. Great experience!

I have been a longtime customer of rainbows, but this pair was my last. In the past year, I have bought two pairs of rainbows and both had defects and both weren’t accepted to return. The first pair, the sole completely peeled off, the second pair the strap ripped out of the shoe base and dyed the bottom of my feet black. Both pairs were denied the warranty because of “wear and tear,” but they were less 6 months old. The quality and service has gone downhill, especially for a $60+ sandal and I won’t be purchasing, gifting, or recommending rainbows again.
