Amazing sandals

I love these sandals the leather feels so soft on my feet. My only complaint is the leather is very slippery when they get wet.

Too hard

The fit is very good and it’s a comfortable sandal until I start walking. The Vibram sole is just too hard. It hurts my feet after a very short time.

Good but they stain the feet

There was a mistake in one of the models but they sent me other ones free of charge. The sandals are comfortable but the ones my daughters wear stain their feet if they get a little wet. The ones with brown soles not so much, but the ones with black soles leave their feet completely black. I don't think this should happen with leather sandals. I have been suggested a treatment to avoid it, we will see if it works. Customer service is being really good.

My life journey is now one (Shamma) step at a time!

Minimalist lifestyles have always been part of my journey. As a young kid, I was in flip flops all the time; during adolescence it was sandals. Fashionable was my reality as a young adult; functional is my new found joy. Regardless of the period of my like, closer contact to the ground led me to more fulfilling walks and an overall symbiosis with nature. A quest for simplicity kept me searching for products that combined thin long-lasting materials with protection from cuts, bruises, bumps and scratches on the ground. And my last stop were aquatic footwear where toes were separated in a multi-functional minimalistic experience. I thought I had found my ultimate solution... until I heard of your product. One day while in line awaiting my Saturday cappuccino, I looked down and saw someone in front of me with a pair of Cruzer Builders. Sleek, appealing design, simple, functional... WOW. What are those sandals. I've seen versions before, but they're so thin. My eyes were glued to their feet with one of those kid-in-a-candystore looks on face. I saw in real time what I wanted on my feet. "Let me guess, you're super satisfied, right?" I asked. "I live in these sandals", was the answer. "I"m getting a pair now. What are they again?" And there you have it folks, I ordered my first pair of Shamma sandals - Cruzer Builders - minutes later. For anyone who might not understand this minimalist sandal concept, it's a spiritual thing, a body thing, an personal experience where even though I lead with my heals when I walk, my knees don't hurt, neither do my ankles or any area of my legs. My feet are ingeniously protected from the perils of the sidewalk, street, gravel paths or any surface for that matter. In short, I can wander aimlessly or journey purposefully and the enjoyment of breathing fresh air, experiencing my surroundings, appreciating my life is therapy that is never compromised by discomfort of my footwear. l like to wear my Shamma products, everywhere, anywhere. It's my new life journey, one amazing step at a time.

Uncomfortable, but worth it

These are cool sandals, but the hard plastic on the bottom is really uncomfortable when walking on any semi hard surface. The website said that it would be fine, but I guess my feet are different than most or something. They're still worth the saving in weight, since I'm using them for backpacking. Also, "sedona red" is definitely orange, it looks very different than it does online. Three stars because I was misled by the website

Amazing footwear

I’ve been wearing my cruzers for about a week now, and I love them. They definitely take some fine tuning - in fact, I’m still trying to get them adjusted just right - but they’re all I could want in a sandal.

Would be wonderful but I am annoyed

I bought Shamma's earlier this year and loved them. Though, I bought the wrong size so I returned them and placed a new order finally. The first time I got them, I was able to slip them on right away and just adjust the straps. This time they were mailed, they came completely NOT put together. I have to basically build my own sandal? They've been sitting on my desk for a week because I haven't had time to sit down and watch a video to put my shoes together. I am incredibly annoyed and feel like maybe I should have known this? I don't know why my first pair didn't ship this way. It is mainly frustrating because I am so busy and have not had any time to sit down and do this, and the summer days are passing and I won't have much longer to wear them in the season. It is overwhelming to me to put all of the straps and clips together the right way and it should have just been done for me. Is this normal?

awesome

They've replaced my flip flops because they're so easy to slip on and off but they fit snug so I can walk or run or do anything at all.

Awesome

My first pair of cruzers and they rule.

Pros:
Short break in period
Easy to put on
They stay snug to your feet
Great traction with the toothy soles
I have low arches and these are perfect for me

Cons:
Not really a con but you need to dial in your fitment within the first couple wears because the lace material starts to adhere/break into a specific shape and doesn't like to adjust much after.

Fantastic sandals, will buy shamma again

Do Not Want to Take Them Off!

Love these sandals! Wore them for an approx five mile walk the first day. They were very comfortable. The next day the straps had loosened up a little and the sandals caused some pain between my toes. Adjusted them again, in particular bringing the toe strap closer to the inside of the foot. Have been walking about three miles each day in them in addition to just wearing the cruzer out and about and around the house. It’s the next best thing to being barefoot. Superior even when it comes to walking around outside. I also enjoy a shoe that can be customized for fit, and enjoy the tinkering.

Thinking of transitioning to barefoot running?
