4 out of 5 starsI love my Sandcruisers! Totally unique style sandals that felt comfortable on me right away!Well, the leather top straps feel soft and supple right away and I still need to “break in” slowly the bottom leather soles that are stiff and sturdy. I will follow instructions on “breaking in” the Sandcruisers. My sandals are two toned (red and brown)with bright gold stitching and little knots that add to the flare. I’m surprised how well they compliment a wide variety of clothing and colors. Until they arrived (which was fairly quick) I was thinking I would be limited in their use, but I was proven wrong, I’m happy to admit. Communication with the owner of shop, Alex, was very helpful in deciding what size to choose. I ordered my usual American size and I think that these sandals accommodate all widths of feet and toe lengths.

4 out of 5 starsI would recommend ordering up a size because they run a little short. I’m usually true to size, 7 but this fits more like a 6 1/2.

5 out of 5 starsVery nice shoes! I will definitely be buying another for sure. The sandals are leather so you will need to break them in but that's normal for anything leather related. I used bandaids to help with the discomfort for the first few days. I have no issues with the sandals now and they're comfortable to walk in. I am normally a size 8 but that size was too small. I recommend going a size up if you have wider feet like me. The only issue is when you first get them it can be slippery when walking on tile floors indoors (these sandals are meant for outdoors). The seller however gave me a few pointers to help increase friction and it works! Make sure to message the seller if you have any questions. He's extremely quick to respond and helpful.

Frequently asked questions
Will the sole wear out?
No. Never. 100% leather soles are often stronger than rubber soles. I've been living in the brown pair I have now and have worn them across Rome, Cambodia, Czeck, Bangkok, and Bahrain. I wear them every day and the soles are still solid and strong. I also design my sandals with more layers of leather than most sandal designers.
I'm used to Birkenstocks and Crocs. Are these hard?
Yes, for a minute. SandCruisers are made in a traditional construction of several layers of solid leather soles. They will be harder than cushy sandals you've been wearing at first, however, SandCruisers over time will soften and shape to your foot in a way that synthetic materials aren't capable of. Keep wearing your SandCruisers, break them in and they will be the most comfortable sandals you've ever owned in the end. Trust me. Even if you have high arches, the leather will mold to your arch. You will see.
Where is this style of sandal from?
These are the traditional sandals of the Arabian Peninsula. I am a world traveler and I discovered them walking along the traditional souks full of spices, incense burners, long robes, and traditional bedouin jewelry. I bought a pair for myself, and started designing new patterns, new color ways, and importing them in 2015. At first I was selling them to Americans, but now I ship all over the world. I've even been lucky enough to have a following in Arabia because they like my designs and new twist on a classic.
Do you have half sizes?
We run a traditional sandal workshop and SandCruisers are made in the traditional way, which unfortunately does not include half sizes. Half sizes please round up. Ex: 8.5= 9.
My size is sold out. When will you get more?
My workshop has a slow turn around. I have one employee who traces each pattern piece out by hand, hand cuts each piece of leather with scissors and hand stitches each piece of leather. You can imagine it takes months to get an order or reorder in. And remember, all of my designs are unique and different, so that complicates production. Believe me, it's just as frustrating for me as it is for you! I lose a lot of sales because I don't have sizes. That's why I advise customers to not wait. If I have your size, buy it. I won't have it for long. But if I am sold out of your size and you really want a pair, message me and that puts you at the top of my list when I get my production in. I never forget a customer who took the time to reach out.
Where are SandCruisers made?
I used to work exclusively with a workshop outside of Jeddah. I've been in business for many years now and I now have my own workshop. You will see how my designs have become more intricate lately and I'm doing new things that I never did before like the argyle designs and the crystal designs. I still work with my old factory if we are backed up in my workshop, but now we do most of the production ourselves. My partner in Jeddah aslo owns a workshop in Pakistan and sometimes he brings the sandals over in what we call in the shoe business "componets". For example, the leather uppers he might have cut, sewn and embroidered at his workshop in Pakistan, however the final assembly is done in Arabia.
Custom and personalized orders
Yes, we can make whatever you want. Please be patient as it could take months depending on where we need to order the leather you want. Be imaginative and let us make you something special.
