The Ride

The Warriors' aggressive tread is well suited for trails and keeps you on them when you're speeding along. Experienced minimalist runners will find that they are great on the road as well. They have a little more bounce and a longer break in period than our other sandals, and the trade off is you get more flexibility, more range of movement in the foot, and better ground-feel.

Sandal Sole

Warriors use 5mm Vibram Newflex as the base soling material. They have an aggressive off-road tread pattern, which accounts for around 2mm of the total 5mm thickness. This razor-thin stack means that the Warriors are extremely flexible, allowing the sandals to follow your foot's shape and movement.

UltraGrip Footbed

UltraGrip - This all-weather footbed is made from a specially designed Toughtek® material. The diamond pattern creates a large surface area for your foot, while channeling away water, dirt, and mud. UltraGrip is micro-perforated, so it can absorb small amounts of moisture to maintain optimal grip. From running in the rain to creek walking, backpacking and more, this footbed is a great all-around choice.

Lacing System

Warriors use our Elite Lacing. The Shamma Elite Lacing System comfortably and securely keeps your feet connected to your sandals. It is fully adjustable across your feet, down your feet, and in the heel. Adjustment are quick, easy, and secure with hook and loop fasteners. For an additional layer of stability and performance, Elite Lacing can be paired with our Power Straps.

Ideal For

Warriors are the best sandals for experienced minimalist runners, walkers, and hikers who want the thinnest and lightest sandals possible. Backpackers who are aiming for an ultralight pack do well with Warriors too. For those without much minimalist footwear experience, you may want to start with another of our pairs.

Compared to Other Shammas

The Warrior’s soling material provides you with the most flexibility of all our models. It is the lightest and the thinnest of our line-up and geared for minimalist runners, barefoot enthusiasts, ultralight backpackers and anyone who hates a weighty shoe. Trail runners and campers that like to know exactly how their feet are positioned will love the flexibility in these durable but incredibly thin sandals. The Warriors take a bit longer to form up to your feet than the Chargers because of their dense soling material.
