Chargers

The spiritual successor to our original sandals, the Elite Chargers are perfect in urban environments. Designed to tackle asphalt and concrete, Elite Chargers provide a small amount of cushioning for added comfort and protection. If you are looking for a lightweight minimalist sandal tuned to deal with hard city streets, then look no further than the Chargers!

Sole

Chargers use a 6mm Vibram® Morflex sole coupled with your choice of our UltraGrip or Tobacco Brown Goatskin Leather footbed. Chargers have a 7mm total stack height. A blend of rubber and EVA, the Morflex compound is known for being lightweight, with a firm but cushioned feel underfoot. Morflex is also known for a quick break-in time. While not as thin as the Warriors, Chargers are a better choice for people who want to go very thin but would like a small amount of cushioning. 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!

Made in the USA!

Proud to be made in the USA and we wouldn’t have it any other way! 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. Follow us on Instagram and YouTube to get a glimpse of how we do it on a regular basis.

So comfortable and flexible! Love the elite chargers!

The elite chargers are so flexible and comfortable! I love how lightweight they are! The straps are easy to adjust! The sole is great for walking up and down paved hills, and so far good in the yard too! I really like how soft and comfortable the straps are, I don’t have any red marks or rubs (I did adjust them a few days in the house before wearing them outside), and I’m wearing them with the power straps right now. Highly recommend and I’m looking at more sandals!

Bad experience this time

This has been an awful experience. I placed my order on 11/25/2024 was supposed to receive it by 12/14. As of 12/25/2024 have still not received my order. Very unhappy as these were a Christmas gift. Hopefully they will still arrive.

Terrible product

The "sandals"s I rec'd were totally worthless. The heel and length were fine, but the toes appeared to have been made for Big Foot. I am sure I would have tripped and fallen had I tried to wear them. Yesterday I spent $10 to return them. What a waste of my time and money.

Second Pair

I love these sandals! I wore my first pair all day ever until the sole finally split, and immediately ordered another pair. Worth every penny.
