Slip on a piece of Americana that tells the storied life of each bison expressing unique patterns in every pair. Perfect for everyday wear, these sandals are easy to slip on and completely adjustable to guarantee the perfect fit as they mold to your feet over time. Prized for being 40% stronger than cow leather, the straps not only offer unparalleled strength and longevity but also remain pliable and conform to your arch. Gone are the stiff cork arch supports - our footbed is crafted from supple leather, allowing your feet to spread naturally and imprint into the bison bed for a truly customized fit. Allow your feet the freedom to move, flex, and strengthen as they were intended. Your sandals will age beautifully and only become more comfortable over time.

Every purchase supports American made products and craftsmanship. Our bison leather is sourced 100% in the USA, tanned in the Great Lakes region of America. Designed with a classic, timeless style, these sandals feature a minimal yet durable construction that flexes with your foot, promoting foot strength.

We are committed to crafting the most rugged, unique, and high quality sandals you have ever owned. Handmade in the USA, these bison leather sandals are a tribute to enduring craftsmanship and a connection to the spirit of America.

For thousands of years, Native Americans to the first frontiersman relied on bison hides to craft moccasins, valuing the leather for its exceptional durability, ruggedness, and natural suppleness. These qualities made it ideal for traversing the vast and varied landscapes of North America. The bison’s legacy, deeply woven into the cultural and economic history of the continent, represents unity and resilience. This time-tested material and storied past of the American bison inspired our craftsmanship, blending tradition with function.

Due to the varied natural grain patterns in American bison hides, each pair of sandals will have a slightly different look and not have the exact same grain patterns as the photos. This gives each pair its own unique character and tells the stories life of the animal. 

Measurements are based on the actual length of the sandal footbed. 

Place your foot on a sheet of paper and mark straight down from your heel and big toe. Measure the distance between in centimeters for the most accurate sizing. Our sizing should closely match your normal shoe size - if it differs significantly, please reach out to us. For any other sizing questions don't hesitate to contact us at info@wildstrideleather.com.

For The American Bison Slide we recommend adding about 1 cm to your foot measurement when picking out your size. For example, if your foot measures 24 cm we recommend going with size 7 - 7.5

For The Long-Range American Bison Sandal we recommend true to size based on the size chart for a snug fit.

Thank you.

From the leather we use being 40% stronger than cow leather to the moccasin construction, our sandals are built to last. Although your sandals will feel great out of the box, we recommend a 2 week break in period to allow the sandal to mold to your feet. Don't be afraid to sweat in your sandals as this will help them mold to your feet. The straps will become more supple without losing their strength and the footbed will take on the shape of your footprint. 

Please contact us with any issues and we will look to get them resolved for free. We offer resoling for a small fee to extend the life of your sandal as the leather will far outlast the sole. Email us for resoling inquiries.

We hope you are completely satisfied with your purchase and we are open to any feedback you have. Thank you!

New daily driver

I’ve had a lot of sandals but none like this, most I’ve owned in the past come with pre-molded curves and bumps that my feet have had to force to mold into a good fit but these are flat and have molded to me. I’ve had these for less than a week and my foot shape is already making its presence known. Recently I’ve had issues with my feet and shins while training for a 100 mile ultramarathon.. My physical therapist has given me a few exercises and recommendations to help strengthen my feet for the race as she has suggested that thick and unnatural footwear has made up for my lack of foot strength in the past. This sandal feels like a passive exercise as adjusting to its minimal structure my feet feel a slight soreness as a new minimalist footwear user. I love the idea of my feet getting stronger and highly recommend this product for anyone considering
