Let customers speak for us
The most comfortable sandals I’ve ever worn.Seriously! Nate is a fabulous craftsman and truly cares about customer satisfaction. My next pair will be the long range bison.
Superb product ! I don't know of another sandal company that offers 4mm of full-grain leather for your foot to mold to. I was originally worried it might be a bit floppy because it's so thin (I think its total 10mm stack height), but it's perfectly supported.
I can not say enough about these shoes! The customer support has been amazing! The shoe bed feels amazing and the shoe bends with the natural movement of the foot! I’ve tried several barefoot brands and WildStride has exceeded my expeditions! I think the custom option is genius! I went with the standard sizing and will next time do custom since my foot is slightly wider that the standard sizing. That being said, it was my presence to keep it simple and I’ll def be a return customer. Thank you!
Great service from the team and amazing quality! I love my sandals!
Great sandals
Leather is soft with a beautiful pattern. Seller is communicative and accommodating.
I've been wearing 4 other barefoot shoes for the past year now, this being my 5th added to the collection and officially my favorite barefoot shoe and sandal of all time. You really don't need anything else, such a simple design, beautiful unique leather, I'm obsessed. I had it customized since I'm somewhat duck footed, the width and length are perfect. This is high quality work, I recommend this to everyone. My friends and family plan on grabbing a pair of their own!
I've spent my summers in a similar sandal for decades, but as I've gotten older I've continued to experience more issues with bunions and foot/ankle pain. I started exploring the barefoot movement and after trying a pair of cheaper sandals to get used to the idea and see if it worked for me, I went all in.
These sandals are incredible. They look amazing and are made with exceptionally high quality leather and materials. They become more comfortable the more they age as they continue to mold to your feet. And the cherry on the top, they're hand made, in America, by a member of the US Navy.
If you're on the fence, just do it. I'll be ordering at least 1 additional pair in another color and will gladly recommend these to everyone.
These are by far my favorite footwear, bar none. I have tried numerous barefoot/minimalist brands in the quest for the perfect sandal/shoe, purchasing from almost all of the major brands and having custom pairs made from numerous companies. Nate makes the best footwear that I have been able to find, at a more than reasonable price given the quality and handmade nature of his sandals. I was able to fully customize the footbed shape and width, have the buckle placement and strap length adjusted to accommodate my high volume feet, and send the sandals back for complimentary micro-adjustments to get the exact perfect fit. Nate is a pleasure to purchase from, always agreeable to any idea or request, with additional beautiful leather options beyond even the website stock. The sandals themselves fit perfectly, with expert American craftsmanship from the finest American leathers.
These slides are the perfect casual sandal. Easier than any other barefoot sandal to slide in and out of given the lack of a heel strap, while still secure to the foot for wear around the house and neighborhood. The leather and craftsmanship are of the highest quality, every aspect handmade in the USA . Having previously worn Birkenstock Arizona's prior to transitioning to minimalist footwear, these are superior in every way, from comfort to aesthetic.
These sandals are absolutely perfect! The buffalo leather is buttery soft yet incredibly durable, and they mold to my feet like they were custom-made. I love the barefoot design—it feels so natural, like I’m walking without shoes, but with the perfect amount of protection. They’re lightweight, breathable, and stylish enough to wear anywhere. I’ve worn them for long walks and casual outings, and they’re comfortable from the very first step. Worth every penny!
I own several pairs of minimalist sandals, and the Wildstride Leather Long-Range “Bad Larry” Sandal is easily the best I’ve ever worn. The turnaround time from order to delivery was impressively fast, without sacrificing the handcrafted quality.
The craftsmanship is top-notch. Made from strong, beautiful American Bison leather, these sandals are built to last and look better with age. The fit is spot-on, with a comfortable barefoot-style footbed and a grippy Vibram sole that gives excellent ground feel.
They were comfortable right out of the box and quickly molded to my feet. The adjustable straps make it easy to get the perfect fit, and the wide toe box feels natural and freeing.
Style-wise, the Midnight Black leather is simple, sleek, and versatile—it works with just about anything I wear. Every pair has its own unique leather grain, which makes them feel truly special.
If you value fast turnaround, exceptional craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless style, these sandals are hard to beat.
Nate was awesome to work with. Super quick, really understanding, and made the whole process easy. I have wide feet and usually wear barefoot shoes like Vivo, Xero, or wide toe box options like Barebarics and Altra. Nate created a custom fit that actually works for my feet, which is rare.
The quality is seriously impressive. The leather looks and feels amazing, and the overall style is a 10 out of 10. If you like the look of Birkenstocks but want something more minimal, with no grooves in the footbed and a cleaner profile, these are exactly what you’re looking for.
Ignore the assumptions you might see on Reddit questioning whether this company is legit. These sandals are the real deal. I couldn’t be happier with mine.
Phenomenal work and customer service. Asked great questions regarding what I wanted and how. Highly recommend these comfy, and awesome slides!
I am impressed with the quality of these sandals! The leather is amazing. I love the unique texture and grain, and the footbed is so soft. The fit was perfect as well. Their customer service was also amazing, as I had to contact them about shipping - they were responsive, helpful, and so friendly!
I just received my first pair of slides. After just a few days, I know I’ll love them! I’ll be back for sandals! Thank you so much for this quality!
