Premium, sleek, and built for comfort — the Shamma Super Browns – Cowhide Leather (Unisex) take minimalist footwear to a refined new level. Crafted from high-quality German aniline leather, these sandals mold uniquely to your feet over time, offering a fit and feel that’s truly your own.

The all-leather Super Lacing System builds on Shamma’s 4th Generation design, offering fine-tuned adjustability through the original Shamma buckle, Velcro® straps, and a leather insole that keeps the heel strap optimally positioned. The result is a secure, comfortable fit that’s as durable as it is stylish.

SIZING & FIT GUIDE

We strongly recommend using the printable templates to check your foot size to ensure a perfect fit - CLICK HERE to access the Sizing Templates.

NOTE: Make sure your printer doesn’t resize or shrink to fit when printing! Larger sizes will need to be printed Poster across 2 sheets of paper.

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 3.2mm to 6.4mm of extra room in front of your toes and behind your heel.

I absolutely love my Super Browns!

I absolutely love my Super Browns! I bought them just before a caravan trip around Australia and they were definitely my favourite shoes! They took very minimal time to get used to/get the adjustments just right, but Shamma have videos on how to do this, so it wasn't a problem.
On our trip I wore them EVERYWHERE!! - including out to dinner and even hiking! And I often got comments about how nice they look.
Be aware, they do get very slippery on certain surfaces, but that's ok - that's the best time to walk barefoot and then pop them back on again later :)
The only real problem I have, is now I am back home in Victoria, so they're sitting in my cuboard waiting, watching, until the sun comes out again and then - YAYYY!!! (I can't wait to wear them again!!)

Favourite Sandals ever

These Sandals are fantastic. It's no surprise coming from a long term user of Shamma footwear. The first couple of days they needed to be broken in but after than they are extremely comfortable and look great.

Tried bedrocks, monk and other sandals , these fit well, stay secure and the leather sole is really comfortable. The. Super browns adventure model might be a good idea. I like the feel of leather straps and sole.

I absolutely LOVE these sandals. Fabulous width so my toes don’t fall off the edges. Very comfortable and the quality is great. My longest foot is 25.8cm long and 10cm wide. I ordered size M8 / W9.5 and they’re the perfect size for me.

Wow, I absolutely love these sandals. The super browns are the best minimalist shoe experience I have ever had. The leather is comfortable, and makes them easy to wear for long periods of time. I recommend these sandals.

Shamma has been great and the sandals are amazing. I’ve worn Xero, Bedrock, Luna, etc. and these Shamma sandals are hands down the most comfortable. I can’t wait to get my hands (feet) on another pair!

best shoes you’ll ever own. These are my hiking shoes, river shoes, forget to take them off in the house because you forget you’re wearing them shoes. Like being barefoot except hot rocks and pokey sticks can’t get you.

How I wish i discovered your sandals 25 years ago. Your shoes are great for building healthy strong feet, and I WANT to wear them bc feels good.

These sandals are amazing. This is my second pair - I wore the first pair almost exclusively in spring/summer for two years. I wear them on my daily walks. I wear them as I work long hours in a demo garden. I wear them quite literally everywhere. It’s like being barefoot, but better. If it weren’t for winter being too cold, I’d wear them all year long. Best. Shoes. Ever.

I waited until I've worn these for a while to write a review—I just got back from a 2-week trip in Europe and only wore these shoes. I walked over 120 kms in 3 cities, and I wore them before my trip and after. I have not gotten 1 blister, sore, or felt uncomfortable wearing these even on day 1 when I tried them on. These are magical shoes. I need to find a non-sandal version of these for the winter months. These are just incredible. I'll buy another pair when these eventually wear out. I cleaned them every day with a wipe to keep them fresh but other than that they still look great. Amazing shoe, great quality.

Shamma is hands down one of the best sandal manufacturers out there. Their products are high quality, comfortable, and durable. I have used these all summer and my feet couldn’t be happier. High fives all around.

The leather on these sandals is high quality. It is very smooth and comfortable. I followed the video to get the fit correct, and it only took a few minutes of wearing and a minor adjustment to get them perfect. The material quality and workmanship are amazing on these sandals. The footbed is very flexible and in just a couple days of wearing is already conforming to my feet. It doesn't seem like anything is going to be breaking down for a long time, but like most good leather products, these will probably become even more comfortable with use.

I also appreciate that the leather straps loop through the footbed, rather than the hard rubber plugs that are used in other models. It took me quite a bit of work to get my Chargers to fit where I couldn't feel those plugs, but these Super Browns were amazing from the moment I first put them on!

Keeps my feet cool temp wise but I tend to trip in them and my feet get stepped on. Can’t say they are comfortable.

Initially the buckle caused me excruciating pain. I thought for sure I would return them. I wanted to love them, though, so I persisted in moving that gosh darn buckle around until I finally found the perfect spot for my own foot (much closer to my ankle than I had originally anticipated)

Now they are like a second skin. Cheers to warmer weather so they never have to leave my feet.

I've been wearing Shammas for several years now. Except for the occasional shoe I wear them everyday, spring until fall.

This spring I ordered the all leather for the cool style and the don't disappoint. Great color, look and feel.
Highly recommended!

Shammas are my number one footwear choice! I’m on my second pair of Super Browns and they’re the best! They’re comfortable, looks great, and stay in place during all sorts of activities!

I didn't think I could find a barefoot sandal that I could love, but this is it. I've found it. 5 minutes to adjust the pair and it's perfect. Fit, comfort, looks great. I've got a pair of Chargers and Cruzers, those are great - but the Super Brown is King - it's pricier but worth every penny.

My Super Browns, with Super Power Straps, are simply 'awesome sandals'! They are just as described and photographed on the Shamma website. My size 9 sandals, with Shamma size small Super Power Straps, fit my feet perfectly, feel wonderful on my feet, and look so cool. If you are thinking of buying don't think too much about it: Super Browns are amazing sandals!

Love my superbrowns! I have barely taken them off since receiving a few weeks ago :)
The leather footbed is the most comfortable out of all my shoes. The sole has good traction even walking in wet conditions (wouldn’t recommend getting leather wet if you can help it though!). I do find the heel strap has to be just so on me, otherwise it either slips down a little or is too tight. Also, I’m incredibly picky but I would prefer the toe post to be slightly higher - I wouldn’t run in these because even though there’s only 4mm difference between my foot and the shoe, it’s all at the top of the sandal above my toes (because the toe post is too low for me) and I’ve tripped over the top a couple of times and scuffed them. Anyway, it’s a 4.9 out of 5 for me 😄 I love the look and feel of them. I really want to try a pair of the trailstars now!

Brennan O.

I really like these Shammas since they are made with genuine leather. I did not want toxic synthetic materials touching my skin. There is only a minimal amount of nylon which touches the skin, which is the strap that goes between your big toe and your second toe. To improve this design, I'd like to see a Shamma sandal with zero nylon (using leather for a strap between my toes). Perhaps Shamma could source more "green" rubber as well. I don't think they use recycled or natural rubber for these. I'd also like to see more of a barefoot sandal. These sandals have a 7mm thickness, which thicker than I would want for minimalist sandals. For anyone wondering how practical it is to run in these, I have had no issues with them. I would not run in them in the rain, though, as I have had my feet slip when running with these while wet (although I was not using the Power Straps at that time, those should help with slipping). Lastly, I suppose the Velcro straps could be longer, as it is hard to make these really tight on my feet, but again, this may be able to be abetted by using Power Straps.

🌱 Shamma Footwear specific FAQ's

Why choose running sandals?

Running sandals, also known as athletic sandals, are nothing new—they’ve been around for thousands of years. From marathon-running Greeks to Roman warriors, sandals were once designed for serious movement, not just lounging around.

These days, we’re bringing that natural freedom back. With your feet open to the air, your toes can spread, you sweat less, and you avoid the painful blisters that come with closed shoes. Even better, your feet get to move the way nature intended—supporting your balance, coordination, and whole-body alignment.

Shamma Sandals are crafted to move with you through every adventure—from running and lifting to hiking, kayaking, and even obstacle races. If they’re secure enough for running, you can trust them for just about anything.

I’ve tried other running sandals. What makes Shammas different?

At first glance, a lot of running sandals look alike. But once you slip on a pair, you’ll feel the difference. Shamma Sandals are all about striking the balance—giving you full freedom of movement while keeping your foot locked in and secure.

From high-quality materials (even military-spec thread) to custom machines designed to eliminate hot spots, every detail is crafted for comfort and performance. The result? Sandals so minimal and natural-feeling, you’ll forget you’re even wearing them.

How do I choose the right size?

The size chart for each product shows the sandal length and width of each shoe model (US sizes). We recommend approx 12mm of space in front of your toes (no less than 6mm and no more than 18mm). Refer to our comprehensive Find your Perfect Fit page for guidance on exactly how to measure your feet and choose the right size.

Still not sure? Reach out to info@bprimal.com — the team is always happy to help.

Do you carry women’s sizes?

Shamma Sandals are unisex and use proprietary Shamma Sizing. This makes it easy to find your perfect fit, no matter your foot shape.

Which sandal is right for me?

That depends on where your adventures take you. Each sandal has its own strengths, whether you’re looking for more ground feel, extra grip, or something built for wet conditions. On every product page, you’ll find clear details on the sole, footbed, and lacing system to guide your choice.

Tip: Use the menu to browse sandals by activity—it’s a simple way to find your perfect fit.

Are Shammas only good for running?

Not at all. While they’re amazing for running, they’re built for all kinds of movement and everyday wear. Wear them on a hike, a walk through town, or just to kick back. They’re performance sandals that keep up with your lifestyle.

Can I wear Shammas in wet conditions?

Yes — especially the UltraGrip models, which are waterproof, quick-drying, and ideal for everything from stream crossings to rainy adventures.

Leather editions handle normal foot sweat well, but they don’t love being soaked. Wet leather can feel slippery and may change color, which is totally natural for that material. For full immersion (like swimming or river trekking), pair your sandals with Power Straps for extra hold.

How long does it take to break them in?

Not long. Within a few days, the toe strap will soften, followed by the heel straps and laces. Around the 1–2 week mark, the soles will mould beautifully to your feet, and by 3–4 weeks, they’ll feel like a second skin. Think of it as your sandals “hugging” your feet—like finding your favourite spot on the couch.

Can you feel the toe plug underfoot?

Nope. Toe plugs are counter-sunk and sit flush with the sole, so you won’t notice them. The only exception is with Warriors soles, where you might feel the plug briefly during break-in. Once the sole forms around your foot, it blends right in.

Are the soles protective?

Yes — they protect while still giving you that barefoot ground feel. The Warriors sole offers the most natural connection to the ground, while the TrailStar Omega sole provides the most protection. Over time, the sole moulds to your unique footprint for a custom fit.

Will the laces wear out if they touch the ground?

Not at all. Shamma laces are built tough and last as long as the sandal (and usually beyond). Even if they graze the ground, they won’t wear through thanks to the way the sole lifts and protects them.

How do I care for my Shamma Sandals?

They’re made to last, but a little care keeps them happy:

  • UltraGrip sandals: Wash with cool water and mild soap if needed. Air dry away from direct heat, sunlight, or steam.
  • Leather sandals: Use a suitable Leather Cleaner + Conditioner for the best results.

Tip: Avoid leaving your sandals in extreme conditions (intense heat, cold, or moisture). They’re fine on your feet during adventures, but storing them in harsh conditions can damage their shape or materials.

Are Shamma sandals vegan?

All UltraGrip top models are vegan. Just look for the UltraGrip footbed option when choosing your pair.
