Built tough for rugged terrain - The MG's sole is designed for rough, uneven surfaces like gravel, muddy trails, and mountain passes. While not as minimalist as the Chargers or Warriors, the MG’s are purpose built for stability. Great for hiking, with a bit more stack height and an aggressive tread. The LE model improves on our MG platform by adding durability and tackiness through the goatskin leather footbed.

Elite Lacing System
Our fifth generation lacing system is the most comfortable and secure system out there. With three adjustment zones it's easy to get the perfect fit. Constructed and lined with Toray Ultrasuede® for maximum comfort, these laces hug and contour to your feet.
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.
These shamma sandals were my second “zero drop minimalist” type. I also have a pair of xeros. I like both, but I find the shammas to be more comfortable. Will probably be buying another elitegrip pair for any beach going i do.
The only negative I found is they had a pretty strong smell out of the package. Not sure if it was the glue or adhesive they used to combine the soles together, or the leather used on the footbed. Either way, it goes away after a bit. Would recommend these to anyone!
I usually hike in flip flops and bought these as a substitute when i'm in a rocky area or hiking with a heavy pack. They take a little getting used to but I haven't had any problems with blisters or discomfort, planning on using the for the trans catalina trail.
My experience has been great. I took a four mile hike on the first day of wearing them. No problems just enjoyment. I take a daily walk and wear them each evening too. I just wish I could wear them to work. I’m in landscape construction so they’re not going to be my daily work shoe but other than work when I’m not barefoot they are my favorite footwear.
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.
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 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!
Super Lacing System
(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.
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).

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!
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!
