They love to play and live to destroy every toy we give them at the factory. Thank goodness they haven't discovered the delicious flavor of leather ... yet.
Oct 13th 2009, Stephen Bonanno Sandals joined FB. The official site for SBS ... I'll be posting anything new going on with the brand including colors, styles, sales and promotions. Just look for our Official logo and follow.

Sometimes (okay, every day) I take my shoes off at the front door when I get home and I don't put them away. Eventually I'll trip or stub my toe or just become completely disgusted by the mess, and I'll clean them up. --Lisagh
We are proud to announce that Cathy and Rob with their two kids Robbie and Caroline are the new owners of the Stephen Bonanno Sandals Flagship store in Downtown Stuart.
"Our focus is to stock up on loads of instant gratification for our customers so they can come in, grab and go ... but what makes Stephen Bonanno Sandals unique is the customizing in colors and sizes. That will never change" --Cathy
They took over the Signature Store on Sept 1, which now allows Domenick and I to focus all our energy on the Stuart factory with my brother Stephen Bonanno.
We were excited when Cathy told us her family wanted to move back to the Stuart area and was interested in the downtown location. Because they are also the owners of the Stephen Bonanno Sandals Signature Store on the beach in Vero Beach, we felt "my baby" would be in good hands and knew Cathy and Rob would pick up were Domenick and I left off and take very good care of our customers.
If you haven't had a chance to swing by the Stuart store to say hello, I hope you will soon. They are a wonderful family and we're thrilled to have them on board. For the second time.

Having more free time these days (believe it or not), I've started a personal blog.
"He likes Grape Soda, I love Carrot Juice"
How two people who are so alike can be so different when it comes to food.
It's a diet journal of our on going struggle to beat the battle of the bulge, eat well (or not), keep our weight down and the attempts to stay active.
In case there is someone out there in sandal land who can relate to turning 50, working way too many hours and finding themselves too tired to do anything but veg on the sofa ... we invite you to follow along in our journey to better health (or not).

We hope you'll come out to enjoy the festivities and swing by to say hello!

Hi Vivian and Domenick,
I snapped this photo on Nantucket's Siasconset Beach about 60 seconds after my boyfriend of 5 years proposed with my grandmother's engagement ring. He was perplexed about why I insisted on a photo of my sandals (which I adore nearly as much as my new fiance) at that special moment!

For our annual "end of summer" SALE we decided to do a radio spot instead of a newspaper AD.
When we found out we could actually record it ourselves, we jumped at it.

Hi Vivian!
I'm over the moon in love with the Emma monograms that I have (all of them)- but my pomme with white whipstiching are my fav's- I chose that color of green because the ladies locker room at the club I grew up at had a woven bamboo wallpaper the same color... I digress.
Anyways, I had 'em on and with me when I was at the Championships this past weekend in Hazeltine, Minnesota and I just had to take a pic to send in for you website/blog!

Vivian,
We've just finished our nine state "tour" of the Midwest/east coast and ended the trip on a sweet note: a visit to the "Oldest Ongoing Ice Cream Parlor/Soda Fountain/Confectionery in the World" (since 1860) in Wilton, Iowa. I had to have a banana split and thought my Bonanno's framed the scrumptious ice cream treat beautifully.
Sincerely,
Lisa

Hello,
"I am currently in Iraq and am looking to get a new pair of Bonannos. Do you have an image of what the Zoe look like on? I can't be there to try them on and want to order a pair for when i get home in a few weeks."
Thanks~ Sandra
