Warriors

Our best-selling sandals, the Elite Warriors are the standard bearer for minimalist design and performance. Combining zero-drop and a wide toe box into an ultralight platform, the Elite Warriors are a popular choice for running and high-intensity activities. These ultrathin and flexible sandals mold perfectly to your feet to get you as close to barefoot as possible. Get ready to burn up the trail!

Sole

Warriors use a 5mm Vibram® Newflex sole coupled with your choice of our UltraGrip or Tobacco Brown Goatskin Leather footbed for a 6mm total stack height. Vibram® Newflex is a blend of rubber and EVA that forms a durable soling material with an aggressive tread for superior traction on the trail. The tread accounts for approximately 2.5 millimeters of the sole thickness making it very flexible. The aggressive tread allows for excellent traction and enjoyment of the sandals at any speed. Pair with the UltraGrip footbed for use in the harshest elements, or select the Goatskin Leather for more comfort in drier conditions. 

Elite Lacing System

The Elite Lacing System is the product of 10 years of relentless testing and development. This lacing system is designed with control, comfort, and performance in mind. Three independent adjustment zones - the heel strap, insole strap, and toe straps - give you total control over how the straps are adjusted to your feet. Velcro® fasteners make adjustment easy and secure. The Shamma Elite Buckle gives you the ability to fine tune your toe strap, where adjustment matters most. Our innovative and flexible heel posts keep the straps in an optimal position so you can focus on the road ahead. The Elite Lacing uses Toray® UltraSuede to create the highest levels of comfort available. If you want the highest performance laces, you want the Elite Lacing System!  

Recraftable

Just because you wore a hole in your sandals, it doesn’t mean you have to throw them away! Our modular approach to sandal-making means that worn out parts can be replaced with a pair of pliers at home. Why throw away what you can repair? Visit our Parts Page to learn more!

All of our sandals are made right here in Santa Cruz, CA by our small team, using primarily US sourced materials along with high quality components from Italy, Germany, and other international partners.

Love these sandals!

Want to be barefoot but don't want to rough up your feet running and jumping on pavement? These are for you!
I'm a body-worker in Florida - I spend most of my free time barefoot anyway, but these are incredible on rough surfaces. Running, jump rope, and whatever else you want while keeping your feet cool in hot weather!

Not as good as they used to be

The price is really high for what they are, and there is a large impact from the rubber into your lower legs/shins when jumping from high to low. I bought an original pair years ago and they were great, but the rubber in these newer ones is not good for your feet for impact. I can jump down from heights and feel much less impact in both my Rocky moccasin style snake boots and Allbirds wool runners or even completely barefoot. There is something wrong here

Excellent quality and design

On the pricier side, but worth it for being made domestically

They feel great right out of the box. The adjustment is much easier than other brands. Definitely recommend!
