Hand Selected Materials
Our individually selected rubber and leather is tough and durable. Perfect for running, these materials bring comfort and refinement to our sandals. No-slip Insole / Outsole post design keeps the heel strap up and in position at all times.
Lacing System
Based on our fourth generation lacing system, this system is all about comfort. With two adjustment zones it's easy to get the perfect fit. Constructed and lined with brown deer-tanned cowhide for maximum comfort, these laces hug and contour to your feet so you can hit the trail or the town.
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.
There's a reason Shamma uses the word "Super" for these sandals
The Super Goats take Shammas to a new level of comfort plus looks.
First, on the comfort: I can't tell whether it's the leather footbed or the combination of the two layers in the sole, but these sandals are extremely comfortable right out of the box. They have a sort of "give," but you still get a real ground feel. The leather is very soft and smooth. Moreover, like all Shammas, the sandals are endlessly adjustable. I found it took a day or two to get the buckle exactly where I wanted it with the angles for the straps also in an ideal position. But now that they're dialed in, they're perfect. Plus Shamma has figured out a way to construct the between-the-toe strap so it doesn't bind. I don't know exactly how they did it, but these are the *only* thong-type footwear I've ever had where I don't have a problem.
Second, on the looks. These sandals are just beautiful. The brown leather works really well with the black toe strap. I have a pair of Maximuses, which are great and comfortable (and will be better than the Super Goats for kayaking and the like because they have the ultragrip footbed), but they look like athletic/casual sandals. These are nice enough to wear anywhere where sandals are appropriate, but can also be worn for hiking, etc. So they will be perfect travel shoes.
Third, the service. Shamma is the BEST. When I first got my Super Goats, the long strap was not long enough, in the sense that although the sandals fit, there was a huge amount of Velcro showing on the heel strap and it just didn't look right (plus the long strap became two-ply too soon, so there was a bulge as the strap came out of the sole and went through the top strap). I wrote to Shamma and Hailey responded immediately that Shamma would be glad to lengthen the strap at no expense to whatever length I wanted. Within a week, round trip, the sandals were back to me, with a strap of the perfect length to accommodate what I guess are my taller-than-average feet. What great service! Everything about my Shamma experience has been wonderful.
I have not had a chance to use the sandals outdoors, given the weather. I have used them in the house and find them very comfortable. I think of the sandals as an excellent replacement for the ‘five fingers’ shoes I have been using. I might note that your sandals are also much more accommodating of those of us burdened with ‘Morton’s toe’. Will send you an updated note once I have had the opportunity to use them outdoors.
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!
