Of course, the right fit for you has a lot to do with how you want to use your sandals. For casual wear around town, your house, etc, we like to go with Classics models and the Jerusalem Cruisers. For technical and trail running, as well as that feeling of wearing nothing at all, the Warriors are a good bet for you. If you like hiking, rocky paths, or are looking for something with maximum durability, then go for one of the Goats models, the Mountain Goats or the Old Goats. Whatever you decide, we think you’re going to be stoked!
No – The toe plugs are specially molded and counter-sunk so that you don’t even feel them, but they’re super durable. Because they’re flush with the bottom of the sandal, they also last the life of the pair and beyond. There’s no knots or ties in the lace either so the toe strap is pure comfort.
For water, we recommend any of our UltraGrip models, which are specifically designed for that and are waterproof.
With leather models, generally a little water is not a problem, however once saturated they can become slippery until dried out. If you do plan on being in water often, we highly recommend an UltraGrip model. Please also note that leather footbeds may change color as they are natural products.
Our laces are quite tough. The laces should last the life of the sandal and beyond. They may make contact with the ground, however they will not wear out in part because we do not put much pressure down with that part of our feet, and in part because the sole raises the lacing off the ground as it forms to your feet. If there is abrasion to the lace, it is generally cosmetic.
