Not good
Ordered and paid 9/18.
Shipped 9/23
Last tracking from post office is 9/30 in Atlanta. I’m only 15-20 miles away.
I bought something else already.
Just want a refund but was told I need to wait another week for your insurance.
If and when I get my refund I’ll ship your sandals back.
Pretty good. I was surprised at the quality of the build when I received them. Smelled of strong plastic/chemical and the bottom of the toe separator thing was sloppily cut. I thought to myself
It couldn’t have cost more than $30 to produce MAX. But I’ve been wearing them for a few weeks now - they are pretty comfortable and my go to. I think we must be buying into the barefoot hype though because there is nothing extraordinary about this build and I don’t think it costs anywhere near the $100 CAD ticket price to produce. Just my honest opinion. But, as is the case with most new trends a little
Goes a long way and I am happy with the way they’ve held up. I would consider buying again in future only if they last for a couple yrs, so tbd.
My Sandals were damaged in 4 months. The customer service refused to accept that there was a problem with their product and blamed my walking gait for the issue.

Good sandals
Love them for walking and feel great. I wish adjustment had an easy guide to follow, I find them fitting me perfect one moment, then not so perfect the next. I’m not sure if the straps loosen or if the adjustments themselves are to blame. Insanely flexible and perfect amount of protection and ground feel

So good for bike riding to the swimming pool and beach!
I initially came across barefoot sandals looking for thin flip flops (like not the annoying "deluxe" kind that absorb water) that would work on my fixed gear bike, which has foot straps, that the flip flops can get stuck in. So I decided to try these, and I can't get over how different it feels to just have this little piece of floor attached to your foot, rather than shoes that I realize now are more like foot-shaped coverings, with all sorts of other stuff going on.
Anyway, even though I was ok with it, I can appreciate some of the comments that the assembly is maybe a little involved... it might help to tell people to stick a safety pin at the end to thread the strap through the different parts. The other thing I think could potentially help is if there were a clip for the two cross-over points, that would keep the adjustment fixed in place, that might help with how it seems to loosen a bit as you wear them. I don't really mind a bit loose, but I can see that that might help maybe someone who likes them to stay tighter.
But really into the simplicity (basically just the bottom part and a strap), they feel so light, work well on the bike, are grippy both on underside and on your foot when wearing in swimming pool wet surfaces (I can appreciate the thought that went into that after watching one of the videos). And I got compliments on how they look. Good stuff!

Great for road running and every day
At first I had trouble adjusting the straps and the strap in between my toes felt really weird. But once I got used to it, I really liked these sandals! I’ve done a few six mile runs with these and they felt good. They’re also great for walking around. I prefer to wear them with socks so I don’t feel the straps as much. They are great for sidewalks or dirt paths but they have no grip so they are not good for trail hiking/running. They were true to size and wide which I like. I do think it’s making my ankles and arches stronger. I’m still running in sneakers but I like these for rest days or when I have blisters. Overall I think these sandals are great and I recommend them!

Sizing Chart and Adjustment Guides
SANDAL SIZING CHART
We strongly recommend using the templates to check your foot size to ensure a perfect fit!
NOTE:Make sure your printer doesn’t resize or shrink to fit when printing! You can check if the templates printed to scale by measuring the printed ruler on the page with a ruler or tape measure. Larger sizes will need to be printed Poster across 2 sheets of paper. You can download the free version of Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader and print the templates in the "poster" setting. This should print to scale across two pages.
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 toeplug 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" (3.18mm) to a 3/16" (4.76mm) of extra room in front of your toes and behind your heel. Thus, we recommend getting sandals that are 1/4"-3/8" (6.35mm - 9.53mm) longer than your foot.
If you don't have a printer, you can measure your foot according to the instructions in the video above (Episode 4) and compare those measurements to the sandal measurements on the chart above and choose a size that is 1/4"-3/8" (6.35mm - 9.53mm) longer than your foot. You can also send your foot measurements to us at contact@shammasandals.com and we would be happy to recommend a size based off of those measurements.
BOOT SIZING CHART
For boot sizing, you can generally go with your standard street shoe size.
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.

ADJUSTMENT GUIDES
Did you receive your new pair of Shammas, but looking for some extra tips on how to get the perfect lace adjustments? Look no further! Below you can find step-by-step written instructions as well as videos for how to lace your sandals!
Elite Lacing System
(Our Elite Lacing System includes Elite Warriors, Elite Chargers, Elite Maximus, Elite Alphas, and Elite Ibex).
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!
Numa Lacing System
(Our Numa Lacing System includes Numa Warriors, Numa Chargers, Numa Maximus, and Numa Alphas).
1. First, loosen the two strap zones (heel strap section and elastic forefoot strap) until there is excess slack in each section. The straps should be extremely loose in both 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 heel strap to fit comfortably.
4. Now tighten the elastic forefoot strap. This will dictate the buckle’s left to right position on your foot. The buckle will self-adjust so don't worry about placement. Push the elastic through the tension-lock buckle on the heel in order to adjust its tightness. For lifestyle use, you won't need it super tight, it should just be comfortably tight.
5. Make any adjustment on your heel strap if needed and enjoy your Shamma Sandals!
TrailStar Lacing System
(Our TrailStars Lacing System includes TrailStars Maximus, TrailStars Alpha, and TrailStars Omega).
Super Lacing System
(Our Super Lacing System includes Super Browns and 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.
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, pull any extra slack from the toe strap zone through the outside ankle slot towards the heel.
6. Tighten the heel strap to your desired comfort level and enjoy your Shamma Sandals!
Cruzer Lacing System
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!
