Power Straps

**Fantastic upgrade for Shamma Sandals**

The Power Straps are a huge improvement to an already excellent sandal. They dramatically increase stability, especially for running, hiking, and faster movement, and they solve one of the biggest challenges with minimalist sandal lacing.

Without the Power Straps, there can be a bit of a compromise between getting enough toe stability and getting the ankle secure. With them, the heel and ankle are locked in independently, which means I can fine-tune the rest of the lacing exactly the way I want it. The result is a sandal that feels much more secure, responsive, and dialed-in without having to overtighten the main straps.

For running in particular, the difference is substantial. The sandal stays exactly where it belongs and feels far more integrated with the foot.

The only downside? It takes about three times as long to put the sandals on. 😂

Totally worth it. If you use Shamma Sandals for anything beyond casual walking, I would consider the Power Straps almost essential.

I bought the power straps because I will be traveling soon and wanted to be sure my sandals would stay firmly on my feet. I have to say the material is top notch and they are very comfortable.

I basically need them in order to run with the flip flops.

These are so easy to use and I love the softness! The ground is a little muddy right now and squishy, so I appreciate the extra security of the power straps. Great addition to your sandals! (I’m wearing them with the elite chargers)

I have kind of weak feet and they want to move around a lot in my sandal. The Elite lacing system fixes 95% of this problem, because they really lock in my feet to my sandals. However, my feet tend to overpronate and slip a bit too far forward in my sandals. This is where the power straps do their magic! Whenever my feet begin to slip towards the front of my sandal, the power straps pull my feet backw to prevent me from sliding forward. I don't really need the powerstraps for walking but, for running, they keep me secure so that I can power through runs without jamming my feet into the thong inbetween my big toe and second toe. And now I run more free and secure than I ever have before!
