Warriors
Our best-selling sandals, the Elite Warriors are the standard bearer for minimalist design and performance. Combining zero-drop and a wide toe box into an ultralight platform, the Elite Warriors are a popular choice for running and high-intensity activities. These ultrathin and flexible sandals mold perfectly to your feet to get you as close to barefoot as possible. Get ready to burn up the trail!
Sole
Warriors use a 5mm Vibram® Newflex sole coupled with your choice of our UltraGrip or Tobacco Brown Goatskin Leather footbed for a 6mm total stack height. Vibram® Newflex is a blend of rubber and EVA that forms a durable soling material with an aggressive tread for superior traction on the trail. The tread accounts for approximately 2.5 millimeters of the sole thickness making it very flexible. The aggressive tread allows for excellent traction and enjoyment of the sandals at any speed. Pair with the UltraGrip footbed for use in the harshest elements, or select the Goatskin Leather for more comfort in drier conditions.
Elite Lacing System
The Elite Lacing System is the product of 10 years of relentless testing and development. This lacing system is designed with control, comfort, and performance in mind. Three independent adjustment zones - the heel strap, insole strap, and toe straps - give you total control over how the straps are adjusted to your feet. Velcro® fasteners make adjustment easy and secure. The Shamma Elite Buckle gives you the ability to fine tune your toe strap, where adjustment matters most. Our innovative and flexible heel posts keep the straps in an optimal position so you can focus on the road ahead. The Elite Lacing uses Toray® UltraSuede to create the highest levels of comfort available. If you want the highest performance laces, you want the Elite 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. Follow us on Instagram and YouTube to get a glimpse of how we do it on a regular basis.
I followed the sizing guid for my foot and the sandals I received are way to big and not even the same size as what they advertise them on their chart. The ones I received are .25" bigger than the chart. Along with that no matter how I just the straps my foot will ride the inside portion of the sandal making for a weird feel when one walks.
They are flimsy but can't expect anything else from a flexible 5.5 mm sole
These are the most flexy sandals out there. Best sandal for running and active use. My big complaint is they don’t make these small enough for my toddler. I believe the best treatment for foot disfunction is prevention but there is simply no shoe that I’ve found that allows for a natural wide toe splay and complete flexibility. This is the shoe that comes closest but they won’t make it for toddlers.
Very smooth for running/walking. No rubbing, stable, and the 6mm sole is enough to protect my feet but still feel the ground and build foot strength. Very pleased with the purchase. Running is very effortless!
The Shamma Warrior Elite are exactly what I’ve been looking for. Better adjustability, better tread and more sole flexibility than my previous Bedrock sandals. I do think adding one or two color options would be nice, but other than that no complaints.
Thank you and keep it up!
Best regards from Austria,
