Soles Only: Elite Warriors

I ordered a pair of the Elite Warrior soles to use with my spare ER laces as those soles are a bit too narrow. Used needlenose pliers the get the laces in. Love the ground feel and non-slip UltraGrip footbed when it it hot and humid. So flexible that they are the next best thing to being barefoot and excellent for running.

I did size up to 6.5 for the larger fit (using template and the metric size chart for 23.4cm x 10.5). I wear size 6 in the Trailstar maximus with leather footbed, but use those for dry weather city walking, cycle commutes, and hikes in some areas, not for running. Love that Shamma has such a variety of footbeds and lacing.

Enjoying the replacement soles a lot, but ordering two got me only one pair. Item name and description suggest that this is sold in pairs, seems a bit misleading. Also, video guide was not at all relevant to my Numa Warriors, resorted to trial and error to install straps. All said, just glad to have fresh soles on my favorite footwear.

The leather topped soles that came on my warriors had finally wore out after two years. I decided to try the non leather soles this time due to the leather ones getting slippery when I’m walking through creeks. These soles made sandals look and feel new! And no more slipping!

Was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to replace the worn out numa warrior soles with the warrior elite soles I bought after watching the replacement video. But it worked out great. Now I have what feels like brand new sandals again. Wish I had done this with my warrior elite sandals rather than throwing them away. Love these sandals and they are my everyday drivers.

Comfortable, relatively easy to replace. Extending the wear on my Shammas Sandles that had pretty much worn through.
