Hand Selected Materials
Our individually selected rubber and leather is tough and durable. Perfect for running, these materials bring comfort and refinement to our sandals. No-slip Insole / Outsole post design keeps the heel strap up and in position at all times.
Lacing System
Based on our fourth generation lacing system, this system is all about comfort. With two adjustment zones it's easy to get the perfect fit. Constructed and lined with brown deer-tanned cowhide for maximum comfort, these laces hug and contour to your feet so you can hit the trail or the town.
High Performance
The lightweight minimal design of Shamma Sandals make them ideal for running. Especially hitting the trail at high speed, Shammas are the ultimate minimalist running sandal. The flexibility of the sole coupled with the Elite Lacing System, make the sandals feel more like a glove than traditional sandals.
Fast to ship, excellent fit and feel. The back ankle strap stays on our feet which has not been the case with other competitors, so I attribute that to a well designed product. We didn't even need the Powerstrap.
Really like wearing them, they feel great on my feet. However I’ve noticed early signs of tearing on one of the straps. Also the parts where my foot lands have thinned out. This is from casual wear. But maybe that’s normal? Overall I love the product. Although I have some concern about their longevity i think I’ll have to wait and see what happens
My experience with Shamma has been great! I was worried about getting my new sandals in time for a trip to Germany, but the Shamma team was very helpful and sweet, and the shoes came with more than enough time to spare. They are really very comfortable and I wear them nearly every day. I am used to wearing barefoot shoes, so the transition to these was very simple and I am loving them! They’re well made, allow my feet to keep cool and breathe, and don’t give me blisters between my toes like my old sandals used to. 10/10 for the Super Browns for travel, and I would love to have another pair for my summer long-distance-running and hiking adventures. These sandals are a bit pricey, especially as a student, but they really are the best sandals I have, and that just means I’ll be saving up a bit for my next pair. Shamma, keep up the good work!
I ordered Super Browns and had a great experience - the sandals are extremely comfortable and the laces stay secure and don’t slide down my heels. The straps were too short, with too much Velcro showing, but it was incredibly easy to do an exchange - Shamma had me send the amount of length I wanted the straps extended, and my new sandals with the correct strap length just arrived. They are perfect, and I’m extremely happy with the excellent customer service!
I was a bit unsure about the high price, but I've bought Rainbows for $70 before. I've had back surgery and suffer from foot drop now, chose these as they're more "traditional" styled sandals with a back strap. They're very comfortable and I'm very impressed. Would definitely buy again.
Shamma Sandals use custom soles that are designed to give you the best possible fit and experience, so please check your measurements with our sandal sizing chart. The templates of the sandals are available for download and printing.
To size yourself, print the template out and place your foot on the template so that the toe hole is between your big toe and first little toe. Make sure that your toes aren’t hanging off the front of the template, and that your ankles line up with the ankle slots on the sides of the sandal. If the ankle slots are under your foot a little bit, that’s ok, the laces come up and around your feet – just make sure that your toes don’t go past the front of the sandal, that your heel doesn’t go past the back of the sandal, and that the toe hole and ankle slots line up with your feet. For the best fit, we recommend choosing a sandal size that gives you between an 1/8" (.32cm) to a 1/4" (.64cm) of extra room in front of your toes and behind your heel.

Did you receive your new pair of Shammas, but looking for some extra tips on how to get the perfect lace adjustments? Look no further! Below you can find step-by-step written instructions as well as videos for how to lace your sandals!
Elite Lacing System
(Our Elite Lacing System includes models: Warriors, Warriors LE, Warriors Maximus, Warriors Maximus LE, Chargers, Chargers LE, Mountain Goats, Mountain Goats LE).
1. First, loosen all 3 strap zones until there is excess slack in each section. The straps should be extremely loose in all three zones.
2. Start by centering your foot on the sandal, so that the placement of your foot is in the desired final location (you should have equal room in front of your toes and behind your heel with this placement).
3. Now that your foot is centered on the sandal, adjust the buckle front to back to find a desirable location.
4. Now tighten the insole strap. This will dictate the buckle’s left to right position on your foot. Keep the buckle parallel with the bone behind your big toe. If the buckle is too close to the bone behind your big toe it may be uncomfortable. If this is the case, loosen the insole strap and reposition the buckle farther to the outside of the foot.
5. Now that the buckle is in it’s desired position and the insole strap is tightened, tighten the toe strap until snug and comfortable.
6. Tighten the heel strap to your desired comfort level and enjoy your Shamma Sandals!

(Our Super Lacing System includes models: Super Browns, Super Goats).
Models in our Super Collections have 3 adjustment zones for the perfect fit- the toe strap, the insole strap, and the heel strap.
1. First, loosen all 3 strap zones until there is excess slack in each section. The straps should be extremely loose in all three zones.

If the buckle is too close to the bone behind your big toe it may be uncomfortable. If this is the case, loosen the insole strap and reposition the buckle farther to the outside of the foot.

Classic Lacing System
(Our Classic Lacing System includes models: All Browns, All Blacks, Old Goats).
(Our Cruzer Lacing System includes the Cruzers and Pacific Blue Cruzers models).
Our Cruzers models have 3 adjustment zones for the perfect fit- the toe strap, the insole strap, and the heel strap.
1 - Adjust to Desired Fit
After centering your foot on the sandal, adjust the outside lacing so that the buckle is in a comfortable position and there is tension (but not too much) between the toe plug and ankle slot.
2. Pull On Power Sleeve
Adjust the Heel Strap by pulling up on the power sleeve, to create some space to tighten the Heel Strap. It should be enough space to grab the slack with two fingers.
3. Pull Slack Through
Pulling from the Heel Strap side, pull the extra slack through the bottom of the sandal until the Power Sleeve is resting in a snug position.
4. Pull On Power Sleeve
Pulling from the Inside Lacing side of the Power Sleeve, pull the extra slack through the Power Sleeve until the strap is flush with the sole of the sandal.
5. Adjust To Desired Fit
First, create slack underneath the buckle by creating some tension on the inside lacing side of the buckle. Adjust the lacing until Comfortable.
6. Pull Slack Through
Take extra slack and feed it back through the buckle, towards the inside lacing of the sandal. Pull slack until the buckle is flush with the foot.
7. Put Extra in Keeper
To keep the extra slack secure, feed the strap through the keeper and pull until comfortable. You are now ready to explore!
