This is my second pair after I used the first one until total distruction. I logged about 1000 km of running in the previous pair, in addition to more unlogged running, everyday use, and some hiking. In the end, the insole was literally in pieces, the outer sole almost worn through and the strap plugs almost rubbed away before finally the straps broke right at the edge of the sole. Pretty impressive for a few millimetres of rubber!
Looking forward to equally impressive stats from my new pair!

This is the slippahs what we call it back home in the islands with the style with the strap in the heel to secure your foot in place so it doesn't claw when walking and running. The material is fine quality, durable for the casual stroll to the daily task of ongoing life, it's definitely my new favorite sandals year round
I bought the Elite Warriors 12 months ago and was more than happy. I have transitioned to barefoot running and these are the best; better than 3 other brands of barefoot running sandals that I trialled. For my wide short foot, adjusting the straps to a more huarache style gave the best fit and comfort for positioning the toe plug and side posts. When correctly fitted, they fit like a glove, with maximum sensory ground feedback. And they have stopped my recurrent ankle injuries incurred from being shod with shoes. Videos from Josh give the best advice for correct fitting. Please watch and re-watch to get the best fit for the best barefoot sandal. I love my other 5 pairs of Shamma sandals, in different styles, used for dress and everyday wear, but the Elite Warriors are best for running.
As secure as it can get, great traction on wet and dry surfaces, protects the foot without sacrificing balance. Been using it for running, lifting, shadow boxing, and jumping rope.
I'm fully barefoot and needed a good sandal. These are awesome and I now have two pairs. One with the leather sole for everyday wear and one with the rubber for more sporty water adventures. Honestly, my favorite sandals of all time. Love them!
Love the sandals great fit and comfortable to wear. Shipping was swift as well. Overall satisfied with product and company.
The sandals are leather and of good quality...very comfortable i can wear them all day with no problems...
This is the shoe I’ve been looking for since I started with Fivefingers in 2009.
Finally had to replace a strap after 3 years of heavy wear. Same fantastic quality, love everything about this brand.
Shamma Sandles are stellar! Durable, light, and comfortable, gently molding into your feet after a few weeks of consistent use. Great both for zipping around town and for running in various conditions and on different terrains. Shammas are all I ever wear, except in cold weather. The craftsmanship shines, not only in the thoughtful design of the sandals themselves but also the products' entire lifecycle. I appreciate that they are handcrafted in the US.
very nice, lovely soft leather and easy to adjust. the stitched straps prevent slipping which is a problem most other Huaraches have but these don't
Comfy and fit well
Customer service top-notch, quality sandals, and stylish, too. An easy 5-star brand.
Good as new again. Had to cut the anchors (about 75pc of the way across so the strap still hooks to both ends of the plastic rod). A reviewer recommended this and they were right. Shame the plastic wears but quick cheap to replace give or take UK import costs.
Took them for a run the day I got them. They seemed to enjoy the run after the trip across America 😄
Been using Shamma sandals for some time, they work well
Thanks for the good work.
GOD bless
