My fourth pair of Shammas. I love this brand. Lovely and more ground feel than than the Maximus style.
Mark N.
These are great, initially bought them with intention to wear around town but after running in them and bringing them on trail realizing they are very capable and comfortable. Great traction and stability, a very thin barefoot feel, and easy to slip on and off. It took me a few tries to get the right size and their return process with very easy. I’m buying a second pair to keep clean and have one around town and one for the trail
Denise W.
The sandals are very well made.
eyal p.
Overall the experience are great.
I had a Warriors Ultra Grip size 9.
They fit like a glove, I hardly remove them. Really great sandals!
It was time for a new pair, so I decided to get 1/2 size extra size the 9 was bit small...
Also add the goat leather.
Well... not like the previous pair... from size point of view its good, but feels like to soft, not really "one" with my feet...
Maybe its the difference between the leather and the ultra grip.
Guess the next ones will be ultra grip...
Chris A.
These have been great so far. These are the closest step to barefoot running and love the way they feel right away. Ran a few times in them and haven’t switched over to anything else. They do provide protection from hot surfaces but keep in mind if you are reading this, it is a very thin sole!
Chris A.
These have been great so far. These are the closest step to barefoot running and love the way they feel right away. Tan a few times in them and haven’t switched over to anything.
Rodney J.
I really enjoy these sandals! They are lightweight, comfortable and strong. Also, they look good!
Martin Y.
Been a daily runner in FiveFingers for years. Wanted to try something different. Wore the Warriors LE around the house for a few weeks to adjust to the toe strap. The switch was easy and haven't been in my FiveFingers since. Unexpectedly, good looking and very comfortable, so I now wear them when I'm just out and about. I'm a convert.
Michelle K.
I’ve worn them every day.
Andrew R.
These sandals feel fantastic. I was a bit hesitant because I had been running in more padded sandals with a different lacing configuration but I'm glad I took the chance on these. They are light and comfortable.
Ronald R.
So far so good and a perfect fit. Very comfy and I much preferred this than my Five Fingers Vibram. This is a high quality product.
Frank H.
I absolutely love these sandals. I got a pair of Super Browns for work and social events, and a pair of Warrior LEs for around the house and for walks with the dog. The two pairs are pretty much all I wear on my feet anymore. Free your feet and free your mind!
FH
I bought a pair of the Warriors LE for around the house and walks with the dog and a pair of the Super Browns for work and social events. I’m learning how to walk all over again. Remarkably my back discomfort has largely disappeared. These sandals are game changers. Run, don’t walk, to get a pair, or a couple pairs.
Brant K.
Shamma team did an amazing job with the Warrior LE design and execution. Minimalist construction with supple leather and comfortable nylon straps. Haven't yet put them through its paces, but from the uses I have had so far, no issue.
marco h.
Product fits my needs.
Leland
I was looking for a minimalist sandal with good ground feel and sturdiness. This it it.
Jeffrey S.
Very good. I have tried several different models and I have liked all of them. I definitely prefer the grip top mountain goats. They have just been so comfortable that they earned the title of my favorite.
Evan P.
These are my favourite minimal sandals... super thin soles, super functional, look good.
Lucas D.
I loved my Shammas Warrios Le, very thin and flexible, I'm already thinking about my next pairs.
John M.
I got these to lift weights in. Regular warrior Maximus get too slick from my foot sweat at the gym. These fit the bill perfectly. Leather is tacky and thin sole is great for deadlifts. Ran a bit in these too. Super lightweight.
javier b.
I’d been running in shamma’s warriors for almost a year and I really love them. Now I just got the leather version for dry conditions for more confort … I can’t say which is better I love them both!
Thanks for this great sandals, running is really much enjoyable with shamma’s
Elias G.
I'm very picky about my footwear. When I can I don't wear any. This is the second time I've ordered Shamma Warriors along with a number of other sandals and each time the Shamma's have been my favorites. The leather sole is incredibly comfy though slippery when wet. The only thing I can't speak to yet is durability my last pair the toe thong pulled through the sole much to quickly. My new pair seems to be reinforced in that area.
Paul C.
This is my second pair, these are my go to every time I go out the front door.
Love the thin sole which moulds to my foot and protects my sole from the ground but let’s me feel everything
Sam P.
They are so light, and comfortable that running in normal shoes (AltraLone Peak) feels like wearing bricks on my feed. Love these sandals. Will have to get toe socks so I can consider wearing in the winter I guess. :)
ines p.
Haven't really had the time to break them in properly but from the walks and runs I’ve already taken them on I was amazed at how comfortable they feel. I’d seen good reviews online but one is always skeptical when too many praises are sung. But I have to say that I’m glad I was wrong, because almost everything was over my expectations, minimalist packaging, to (of course) the sandals that have a nice quality feel and finish to them.
Was pleasantly surprised and would definitely recommend them :)
John O.
I used these to replace my Burks.
Cody P.
the only real issue I have with these is in the back where the straps connect in the back. I'm sure this isn't an issue for many but for my the space between the two straps is a bit to narrow. It almost feels like they are cutting into the sides of my feet with that side yeah if they would work with me to make that space a bit wider i would 100% buy another pair.
Nina B.
Great experience. Since my feet are of different sizes, they were willing to send me as I need them- in two different sizes. Will order again and again and again.
James M.
This is my ~6th pair of Shamma sandals. This version of the leather warrior has moved the side straps medially with stiffer material that rubs against my arches. Makes me sad. Until this change I was a super supportive Shamma sandal wearing runner, now not so sure
isaac t.
I absolutely love these sandals! I can really feel the earth with my feet and toes. I hope they will make a grounded version soon.
Ken W.
The leather feels so good on my feet! The sandals are thin and flexible. The laces allow you to adjust them until they fit your feet perfectly. I wear them all day and as I run for exercise.
Sarah R.
So far I’ve gotten 3 for my husband in different colors/styles and he loves them all and use them all the time.
We appreciate the sophisticated and comfortable design.
Caroline S.
The absolute best sporty/casual sandals I have ever tried, and I have tried a lot of other brands. These are really easy adjustable, comfortable and have enough room for wide feet. I still give a 5 star, but was near giving a 4, because they are a little bit sloppy sewn, which I think would be nice if improved. But all in all very nice sandals!
Miguel O.
The sandals arrived like a month ago but I wanted to wait a little to make a review. The sizing chart is so helpful, I was worried because I picked the template that fitted my feet exactly as I wanted, with no room for mistakes, and the sandals were 100% accurate to the template! They can be adjusted as you want and it’s a very good quality product overall. I love walking with them and feeling like I’m barefoot! Definitely going to buy again soon and try other products.
Piers
I received the sandals I was really pleased, they were simple (non sport looking) sandals that could be worn for both casual and running. I have now done quite a bit of runninng in them and on one day did an 8km in the morning and a 12km in the evening and they were great to run in. As with all running sandals they take a while for your skin to get used to the straps etc...
David S.
Good quality, just didn’t like the heel strap myself
Tucker M.
Quality as advertised, but be sure you understand how thin the warrior style is. Unless you are used to such limited support, I would use the standard.
Taylor
Today is the day I FINALLY wore a hole through my warriors, after three years of daily use. I have tried so many brands I’m minimalist footwear, and I have always been so disappointed with everyone but Shamma. The fact that these shoes are a little more expensive is only due to their high quality. I just bought my third pair of Shamma sandals today and I’m excited for the years that will follow
Gabriel S.
They are very good for me, it feels like you are barefoot, and that is what I like a lot about sandals
Austin H.
I have been wearing Vivo’s for years exclusively but wanted a sandal that could handle outdoors use and love the fact that these were made by hand. The Warriors LE are much more flexible than my Vivo sandals and have better traction. They are quite adjustable in all directions and I’m still tinkering with the fit. I haven’t used the power straps yet, but can see how they would be great for more aggressive terrain. The quality seems good, you can tell these are not made by machines, but everything seems well-finished. As a designer, there are a few things I could nitpick on, but overall, I am enjoying these very much and would certainly recommend trying.
Richard M.
I have tried running with Earthrunners and Xero sandals. Of the 2, earthrunners were the better for me. I just got these one week ago so my only test of these is walking around the house. But I think they will be very good, feel very secure.
Alejandro R.
WOW I love this sandals... thank you so much!
Aaron R.
I have tried many minimalist sandal brands, and these are by far my favorite. This is the third pair I’ve bought. I have completed hundreds of kms of running and sprinting while wearing them.
Adam T.
These sandals were my first foray into minimalist footwear and I have to say I'm super pleased. They are comfortable and customizable to fit onto any foot perfectly. The online guide to sizing was the most genius thing I've ever experienced. (print the paper and step on it. boom perfect size).
I haven't worn them a whole lot, but it's been great so far. Really looking forward to bringing these on my next hike as camp shoes!
April S.
Ordered three more pair for the family.
Josefin K.
These shoes are definitely thin. Almost too thin for wearing around town just because concrete isn't nice to walk on for so long. Great for trail runs though! The toe plug has a small circle on the undersole of the shoe that is a little bump for my big toe but I think it will wear down with time. I am pretty happy with these shoes.
Shelby G.
I love my leather Warrior Sandals! After a couple of days of adjusting the straps and power straps, I have them where I like them, and they've formed a bit to my foot shape which I like!
I have another pair of barefoot sandals but wanted something with a slightly thicker sole for hiking and walking on rocks/gravel often. I sized up a half size since I'm right in between sizes with my Shammas, and they're perfect.
They get slightly slippery on the tops if I get them wet or it's raining, but the straps are placed great so my foot still stays in place. As far as traction though, I feel like they do great on the ground regardless of weather. I will definitely be getting more down the road!
Adam K.
Incredible feel of the goatskin and very secure feeling even when wet. Super light weight as close to real barefoot feeling as I can imagine. The plastic top buckles have given me very bad blisters is my only minor complaint.
Laura B.
Our whole family has Shamma sandals and they are the next best thing to being barefoot. My son hiked in his and also ran 9 kms for cross country practice. Highly recommend for hiking, running, walking. For all seasons (if you can stand the cold )
Sam E.
I’m on my second pair and when this pair is done I plan on buying a third. Not sure why I’d ever get something else I wear them all summer any time I can.
Sudhir K.
This is awesome piece of sandals. My first pair and I am loving it...
Perfect fit perfect flexibility and steadiness...
Jocelyne F.
Wonderful,
It has been perfect, easy to order and fast delivery.
Isaiah F.
I like the sandals, I don't have anything to compare them do but they seem like they're of quality. The only thing is that the thing in the middle that separates your toes cuts up my toes and gives me blisters. I probably just have to used to it.
Daniel C.
Awesome sandals, I’m a huge fan of how they feel and everything about them. Definitely the most comfortable sandal I’ve ever worn. I’m not new to minimal shoes and I’d say these are easily my favorite pair, I’m sold on the huarache style. The only issue is the look. It’s not a big deal and I think they’re awesome but I think if I had the option to get thicker leather straps like the All Browns then they’d look a bit more normal. I guess I could’ve just bought all the AllBrowns but I wanted a more barefoot experience and to be able to hike in trails with them so I got the warriors. I’ll have to get a pair of browns next I suppose!
Lisa L.
So comfortable and flexible, wear them for running agility with my dogs as well as just kicking around the house. They feel like a second skin on my feet. Got the non leather versions awhile ago and wish I had just started for these. Great sole tread too.
Rimas T.
The straps are super adjustable on the Shammas. For me this is so important for comfort and performance. Some days I like the straps tighter for performance purposes and other days I like them a bit looser like on warm days or after yoga when my foot seems to expand more. No other minimalist sandal comes close to this adjustment ability. I can even adjust them to where I don't even feel them at all. The thickness of the sole is super fine for lightweight and ground feel, but for railroad rocks and broken shards of bottles, I would step up the thickness in a second pair.
Adam B.
These are the single best footwear in the world. I wear them as often as possible.
Chelsea T.
I love my new Shamma sandals and will definitely be a repeat customer in the future! Got these for a roadtrip so these babies saw all terrains and performed great. Very comfortable and perfect width at the toes. Plus, good traction in water if you’re into fishing or paddle boarding, and retained shape when dried in the sun.
William S.
Very happy with my purchase. The sandals are and excellent addition to my minimalist footwear closet.
Adam R.
First pair of sandals this thin and from shamma and I must say they are getting nicer each day love the suede backing on the straps to not uncomfortable at all feet feel so free def will be buying more.
Brayden H.
This is my second pair of shamma’s. I started wearing them about 1.5 yrs ago and have run over 400 kms in them and they’re nowhere near done. Would absolutely recommend.
garret g.
Have been wearing barefoot protection for close to 6 years now. These are my go to for just about anything! Love em and will continue to buy
Manolo P.
I've had the sandals close to a week now. I wear them all the time except for when I go to bed, but I am tempted to leave them on:). I've hiked on very rough terrain and walked on hard concrete surfaces totaling around 50 kms. All I can say is that this sandals rock. They fit like a kid leather glove and my feet love them. I'm 70 years of age and have been doing the minimalist/barefoot thing for almost two years. I've tried many different minimalist shoes and sandals and this are by far the most comfortable. I think I'll keep 'em.
Brandon M.
Best purchase I've made recently.
Samuel B.
I really love these sandals. They are confortable, light and good looking. The only thing is the power straps: after only a week, the sewing line on the loop side of one of the straps just broke. I’m sure it’s just a bad luck, because everything else seems heavy duty to me, and the other strap is ok.
Xavier B.
My experience has been positive. The sandals are slowly molding to my feet. I’m enjoying the transition to minimalist sandals. The strap design and fitting took some trial and error but the sandals have finally found a snug fit to my feet.
Manuel S.
I love my shamma sandals!
I wear them all the time they just feel so much better than shoes.
I use a walking desk and wear them even there because they feel better than Barefoot on the treadmill. Seems like my brain works better when my feet can breathe.
Ernest G.
Not only are they comfortable, I've found that they've molded to my feet, and they make my legs feel 100% stronger!
Sam J.
I was blown away by these sandals, especially by the amount of adjustability in the straps despite also being very minimal. At first when I put them on they didn’t fit quite right. My foot felt too far back on the shoe and it felt like the strap was digging into the part between my toes. But with a little adjustment between the, like, 4 adjustment points it seems! they fit great now. Incredible.
The sandals are thin, but substantial feeling. The only complaint I could think of, which is hardly a complaint, is that they stay on my feet “too well.” Meaning you can’t really just kick them off, it requires using your hands. But it also means they feel incredibly secure while wearing them, so I wouldn’t have it any other way.
John K.
This is my first pair of Shammas. I'm an avid non-minimalist runner with persistent foot pain and I wanted to strengthen my feet through more minimalist footwear...and stop destroying my feet with flip flops. When wearing work or running shoes, I am (was) an avid flip flop wearer which did me no favors as I sought to minimize running injuries and other issues flip flops seem to cause...but, I do like the "protected, yet barefoot" feeling that flip flops (sort of) provided. After a lot of research, I came across Shamma and concluded that all of the elements that I was looking for were in the Shamma design. Everything about them is super high-quality and seemingly no other brands are meeting all of these marks (thin sole, durable, leather options, Vibram...plus details like ultra-suede laces, etc.). I was so satisfied with the LE Warriors, I purchase a pair of the ultragrip Warriors and love them both. I go into the differences between the leather vs. ultragrip in my other review. Can't go wrong with either model.
Chris K.
I’m very satisfied with my Warriors LE - I’ve had them a few weeks now and have run trails (rocky, hilliy, rooty smooth) in them several times. They are comfortable, grippy, easily adjusted, have awesome ground-feel and seem very well made. I’ve been a casual minimalist trail-runner for several years, have tried a couple of sandals ( various shoes) these are by far the best sandals. Thank You!
Eli Z.
I really enjoy the shoes but each time I buy them they shrink a good bit and my toes end up hanging off the shoe, I even went up a size the second time I bought them but still had the same thing happen, unfortunately, other than that my last pair only last year but I pretty much wore them almost every day except in winter.
Sean M.
I have probably only put about 25 kms on my warriors since getting them as its just starting to warm up here in Wisconsin but they have been great so far! I went on a few hikes and they were great. The straps are super adjustable and super comfortable with that nice suede. The size is pretty true, i wear a 10 1/2 shoe and ordered the 10 1/2 sandal and i am happy with it, especially once the sandal starts to curl and form to my foot. They seem extremely durable and i cant wait to show them off all summer!
Jett K.
Best strap system, hands down. I’ve tried a lot of minimal sandals and the straps are almost always an issue, usually get loose too quickly or just can’t get that stability you want. These are the best I’ve used. Tried these a few years back and wasn’t a huge fan primarily because of the sole shape, but with the foot shaped sole, these are unbeatable. Great sandals
Paul D.
Those are my first running sandals so I cannot really compare with other products. However I might have some interesting insights.
Pro : definitely a good experience, feeling the grass while running is just like feeling being free to me.
Cons : The seam on the right strap has some kind of protusion. (Was that a defect I guess so) As a result, my foot was bleeding while running. I made some scissor cut, I hope it will fix it, I need to try it again.
Aaron B.
I got Warrior LE, I recently started training for barefoot running. So far they are amazing, they taking the use I am giving them and look brand new still after a month or so of basically running everyday. I have also been moving to a new place I have been packing and running loads of boxes and the like all in these sandals. I could not enjoy more the feel of ground, openness and stability that the LE offers all with a very comfortable, but unobtrusive layer of goatskin. Will definitely be purchasing more in the future!
Paul C.
Loving the sandals, the leather footbed gives them a formal look making them work well with shorts and a shirt.
Ju y.
Excellent. From the beginning to the end (not ended yet of course!) it’s been really awesome. Enjoying the shoes a lot!
Eric C.
The best minimalist sandals. They are my daily footwear.
Jomel L.
Second pair awesome. Love it
Daniel W.
Overall Shamma Sandals are amazing. I have found their products to be the best form fitting, comfortable, and with the best tread out of any minimalist footwear I ha e tried. Unfortunately, due to how hard I wear my sandals and the fact that I wear them every time I step out the door, they tend to wear rather fast. Amazing product, questionable durability.
Andrew L.
These Shamma sandals are the best option for when I am not able to be barefoot. The leather looks amazing, the closure system is my favorite (compared to various Xero Shoes styles I've previously owned), and the ground feel is amazing. Thank you for producing these and making them my new favorite go-to footwear. The toe area has a really nice shape, and these straps will not pop out or break, unlike Xero Shoes' Z-Trek sandals that have broken on me multiple times when I would roll an ankle or something. Thank you!!
Caroline P.
They are the most comfortable sandals I ever owned! Super happy with them and will definitely buy more in the future. Great mobility on the feet, easy to clean, and very comfortable for walking and running.
Allan H.
Super sandals. I'm a beginner runner but these are so comfortable right out of the gate.
Elizabeth S.
I love my Shamma sandals! I've been wearing barefoot shoes for about 8 months now and these sandals were my first pair of barefoot sandals. I love how secure they are and the ground feel I get in them. They are just what I wanted for the warmer weather!
Alexis E.
I have two pairs of Warriors- Ultragrip Goat (old lacing system). I love both pairs so much! I wear the ultragrip in the water or when I know I need the sandals to stay right with my feet. The goats are a great all-around sandal. Both are super comfortable, so glad I have them! I’m usually a 9.5 in Women’s, and the 8.5 fits me perfectly.
Ariel A.
Perfect protection for my foot with perfect feel of the ground.
On the road
At the rocky beaches of Eilat and in the hot desert right behind it.
Alexis E.
I have 2 pairs of Warriors (old lacing system)- both Ultra Grip leather. I love both pairs for different reasons. The Ultra Grip are great for situations where it's maybe a little cooler outside and the leather won't quite stick to my feet like I want them to, or for use in wet situations (rain, water sports). I've even worn them with a little black dress b/c they're all black and gotten away with it! The leather are so nice for the comfort look of leather. I highly recommend Shamma sandals for everyone- they are really versatile, and can be fitted to almost any foot, in my opinion. The Warriors are a tad thin for wearing all day standing, in my opinion, but I love that I can feel the ground in them. Great sandals, and they look great too.
Robert R.
Second pair overall. Needed a bit more grip and had nearly worn through my last pair’s sole after 2 years of daily summer use and hikes. Love the footbed—a little slick when wet, but never stinky and has taken me on hikes over a variety of terrain. I can lounge, run around chasing my kids and go hiking without having to change shoes. Pretty damn versatile.
Mario C.
They fit well, look good, and are very comfortable.
David M.
Best sandals I've owned. I've been looking forward to warmer weather so I could break them out.
Adam K.
This is my second pair of Shammas. Consistently my go to footwear when I can’t be barefoot. Fit great and comfortable.
Julio P.
If you want a perfect and durable minimalist sandals, the Warriors is the best option. Using it, you feel.like be barefoot. Excelent grip, low weight.
I can recomend the Shamma Sandals to.everybody. Shamma are the best..
Use the power strap and enjoy the perfomance of this sandals.
Aaron R.
This is my third pair of this model because I like them so much. Thank you!
Susan W.
I bought my first pair of Warriors a couple of years ago and wore the tread right off of them!! I recently purchased another pair and still absolutely love them.
Kathleen A.
Great experience. Sandal exactly as described. Would definitely order again.
Shawn L.
Excellent experience so far no complaints. Very versatile and they seem to draw a lot of attention.
Stewart W.
I bought these sandals because I wanted to try running in them, they're great! It's been almost a year now and they're still holding up well. The only thing I would have liked from the manufacturer is some more detailed fitting instructions. I ended up with my feet bruised in a few parts because I had the straps a bit too tight when I was first starting out.
Frank N.
I really like the shoes!
The thin Vibram sole has a good grip and even together with the thin goat leather layer, you can still perfectly feel the ground! The goat leather feels nice at your feet and makes it easy to clean them!
The only little negative part is the strapping system....first of all, to be fair, it does its job and holds the sandals at your feet, BUT...it feels a little cheap produced and could be easier to adjust. It takes a while til you get it in the correct way and position, so that it fits good. I would prefer to pay more and get a little bit better quality for the straps!
All in all i would definetly buy them again, but with better straps ,)!
