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.
Company as a whole is totally awesome. The design of the sandal was actually way too bulky for me personally. But I found my own way of modifying the sandals and I really do love them!
Just purchased a pair of old goats, very comfortable, the leather strap is as sof as I’d hoped. I’m still getting the lacing just right after about 5-7 times wearing them, they need a bit more adjustment then my mountain goats did, but I’m certain I will get them dialed in and they’ll be comfortable for a few years to come.
These weren’t for me, but we’ll made and great service
I love my Super Brown’s foot bed, molds to me feet, but super dense like other soaking materials, it’s just perfect. I was looking for something thicker for days when I’m on concrete all day, so I ordered these. Beautifully well made, just as expected. The footbeds unfortunately weren’t what I was looking for, I don’t think they will mold over time due to the outsole layer. I had to return them, and I had great customer service from Shamma. Thanks!
and after four weeks I like them best of all the sandals I own. I'm 70 so I chose the old goats for the extra cushion and aggressive traction. The single strap lacing is especially attractive. The leather on the straps and footbed is super soft and they have molded to my feet. Very comfortable. I wear them snug and have needed to adjust the straps a bit each day, but it only takes a moment and ensures a perfect fit. No trouble with heel slippage. For anyone interested in this type of footwear, I don't see how you can go wrong with these. Thanks Shamma! Nice work.
These are sweet, just enough cushion while still being about as minimalist as possible without cutting the hide yourself and twisting up some yucca rope. They’re super comfortable, I wish the actual toe strap part was leather too but I have a feeling it’s not for a reason so I can’t complain too much. The best part is when my foot is sweaty it doesn’t slide around like on bedrocks or similar. They stick to one spot and I hope that over time I’ll get some nice molded foot beds for extra comfort. Super happy with the purchase, would buy a second pair right now for backups.
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.
BOOT SIZING CHART
For boot sizing, you can generally go with your standard street shoe size. If you want to double check, use these boot sizing templates below!
NOTE:Make sure your printer doesn’t resize or shrink to fit when printing! Check the measuring line of the template to a physical ruler before sizing! Larger sizes will need to be printedPosteracross2 sheets of paper.

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.

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!
