Numa Alphas (12mm)

The Numa Mountain Goats have been renamed to the Numa Alphas! The name has been updated to be more consistent with our other sandals. The product has not changed, so you are still getting the same great sandals as before!

Numa Laces provide extra length to accommodate all foot sizes. Please trim excess material after sizing the sandals to your feet.

*All Numa Sandals are non-returnable/non-exchangeable after laces have been trimmed*

Numa Alphas

With a thicker zero-drop sole and wide toe box, the Numa Alphas are the best place to start if you want the convenience and benefits of minimalist sandals with the same level of protection that you get from a traditional shoe or sandal. Step into adventure with Numa Alphas.

Sole

Alpha soles are composed of 5mm Vibram Newflex and 6mm Vibram® Morflex. This creates a sole that provides excellent protection for your feet while still being light and responsive. The aggressive tread of the Vibram® Newflex makes navigating rough terrain and trails a breeze while the Vibram® Morflex gives you a firm yet cushioned place to rest your feet. Alphas have a 12mm total stack height. Choose the UltraGrip footbed for use in the harshest elements. For more comfort in drier conditions select Cognac Leather.

Numa Lacing System

Numa uses a hands-free slip-on lacing system that stretches with your feet as they move. The result is our most comfortable, seamless, and easy-to-use lacing system yet. The secret is our custom ¾” elastic forefoot section. This innovation gives the lacing system the ability to stretch where you need it most: over the arch and middle of the foot, creating a seamless connection between your foot and the sandal. Added benefits of this system include a self-adjusting toe plug buckle and forefoot strap that is custom-cut. This allows all our Numa Sandals to rival flip-flops in terms of comfort without sacrificing convenience. This system uses our innovative and flexible heel posts to keep the heel strap in an optimal position, and these laces are made using Ultrasuede for the highest level of comfort available. Comfort, connection, and convenience are waiting for you with the Numa 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.

Great sandals!

My second pair. First pair were crushers which were great. I lost them on a backpacking trip when they fell off my pack. Replaced them with the Numa alphas and these are a nice upgrade. I do like the thicker platform and I really like the stretchy front strap. These are easier to get on and off, adjust more easily and feel more supportive but still a minimalist sandal. Hope that helps!

Purchased as a gift and bought two more for myself.

I never knew about the company until I got a request for the sandals as a BD gift. When I opened the package to wrap it, I was surprised at the quality. The recipient was thrilled! I went back to study the website and purchased two for myself. I haven’t received them so I don’t know about the wear but there is a lot of happy customers out there!

New Favorites

I've lost track of how many pairs of Shamma sandals I own. I love them all; however, the Numa Alphas are my new favorite. All of the Numa line is wonderful, for the comfort and easy adjustability of the straps. What makes the Alphas best for me is the 12mm stack. I walk 5-7 miles a day on Manhattan sidewalks and the extra cushion is such a joy.

Comfy

So far so good. I am working on adjusting the straps a little still but overall a very comfortable sandal. I like the feeling of having nothing on my feet but still having foot coverage. Would probably need to upgrade if going on a hike.
Thanks for a fine product!

These sandals are well designed. The crafmanship is high quality. However, in the last few months I have developed a painful nerve condition in my right foot. As a result I am unable to wear sandals with a toe post. I thought with the clever elastic design maybe my foot would tolerate the toe post. I was wrong so I had to return them with much regret.
These sandals are worth the wait and price. I would recommmend them and this sandal company.
