Dive Friends Bonaire Introduces Dushi Shoes

Last Saturday, April 2, 2011, Kralendijk welcomed a new retail store to its ever-widening options, as Dive Friends Bonaire opened its third retail store, Dushi Shoes. 

Although Dive Friends Bonaire has offered footwear for several years via its two other retail stores on Kaya Grandi, Dushi Shoes now offers expanded and specialized lines, perfect for Bonaire’s active visitors and residents.

Dushi Shoes, which held an opening event last Friday, now offers Birkenstock, Reef, Nike, Crocs, Cobian, Ocean Minded, as well as additional brands.  Ocean Minded is a new brand for Bonaire, and one that is perfect for the eco-minded diver to wear, as, since 1996, Ocean Minded’s products are made from recycled materials to minimize their environmental impact.  In fact, the company operates on the premise that everything eventually ends up in the ocean, and the company has organized community beach cleanups around the world and strives to educate their customers on the importance of leaving their chosen playgrounds in a better condition than those in which they found them.

Dushi Shoes is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 5:30.  It’s located at Kaya Almirante Pedro Louis Brion #1 in Kralendijk.  (Source:  Dive Friends Bonaire)
