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.
First of all, customer service was excellent! My original sandals were a bit too narrow so they made me a custom pair with wider ankle posts. It took a while to figure out the strap adjustments, but once I did they were extremely comfortable, and I'm able to wear them everywhere!
I am blown away by my Shamma chargers! They are durable, light-weight, and secure. This makes them ideal for running. The various points of adjustment allowed me to tailor the fit of my sandals, making them very comfortable. I would recommend this company and product to anyone.
First pair lasted 2 years, and while I could've worn them longer, I got a new pair and will use the old ones for kayaking. Love a barefoot shoe, can't wear anything else. Great sandal. Will buy again in the future
I took a leap of faith and ordered my very first minimalist sandals. Not exactly to run in them, but because I walk around town quite a bit from spring to fall, and my go-to flip-flops are far from ideal. So, I got myself a pair of chargers. I am so glad I did! I followed the sizing char, and the fit turned out perfect. Once I adjusted the straps, all I do now is slide in and out of them by handling the heel strap. I experienced total comfort walking in these shammas all day long without any redness, blisters, or anything whatsoever. They are glued to my feet while I barely feel them. Walking in these shammas is total freedom and a huge benefit for my feet. With good looks a bonus!
I am 75 yrs old and having trouble with my feet so I started wearing sandals. Right out of the package these were super comfortable. I remember letting out a big sigh when I first tried them on and the fit was perfect. They took a few days to get the straps exactly right but after I did I never have to change them. I plan on buying more of your sandals in the future. Great job guys !!!
Shamma Sandals use custom soles that areĀ 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 arenāt 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, thatās ok, the laces come up and around your feet ā just make sure that your toes donāt go past the front of the sandal, that your heel doesnāt 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 youĀ between an 1/8" (.32cm) to a 1/4" (.64cm) of extra room in front of your toes and behind your heel.
