I received my buffalo sandals with a flaw. And they quickly sent another pair. They have really timely service to inquiries as well. Will be sharing the site with friends and be ordering my daughter a pair. I like the leather because I can be grounding to earth as I go. And love the nostalgia from my youth. Namaste, Cat

enjoy the sandals

Very comfortable. Run big.
Dianne L.
Love , love the sandals, been looking for another pair like I once had, finally got them!!
Michael H.
I love the look of these. As real leather, they are a bit firm out of the package. I expect with wear they will grow more flexible. The soles are very thin, almost like walking barefoot, with a tiny heel piece. I have barefoot sandals in rubber and cord, but I prefer this natural product better. I would recommend these.

Makes me feel like I'm close to Jesus these are the same exact shoes he wore I believe that if Jesus is good with this so am I

Shipment was quick but I did not get the right size, not sure their fault or mine. What I can tell you is that their customer service is among the best I have ever worked with. They responded very quickly and since it was so close to Christmas they mailed out another pair before even receiving the pair back that I had. They also included the prepaid packaging to return the sandals in. The sandals are exactly as I remember them in my youth, maybe a little sturdier. Greatest people ever, do not be afraid to order from them if there is something wrong they will make it right with quick and friendly replies to your messages. Thanks all of you and happy Holidays!

Nicely constructed, heavy duty material that will only get better and better with age I’m sure. Thank you for assisting me with my 60’s look for my upcoming 60th birthday!

These take me back to my teenage years ❤️

I don't know if the shoes I got the guys fit yet? Mine were awesome! I miss all the stickers and would like to purchase more products. They really are a TRUE great hippies vibe! Love those people and hope the shoes will fit my son and his partner. Still disappointed about the stickers. Lol.

I wear a 91/2 wide sandal so I ordered a size 10. The strap over the the big toe could be a little bit bigger. I have trouble sliding my toes under the strap. The sandals look like they did back in the day when I wore them.
Anna B.
It’s a Christmas present. My husband had these 50 years ago and loved them he will be so surprised
cheri d.
The sandals are exactly what I wished they would be except I neglected to read the sizing information and foolishly did not realize they were unisex. I’m going to be returning them but re-ordering the correct size. They look great, just like in the picture and I’m excited to get the right size and wear them. Good timely service regarding delivery, and hopefully a smooth return experience
Susan W.
I love these sandals! Even the scent is the same as I remember from my teen years. I haven't been able to find these anywhere, so I was so excited about this...Thank you so much! I can't wait until it gets warm enough to wear them outside!
Rodney L.
Wife's fell in love with them
vicki c.
I LOVE these sandals however,they're too well made‼️the sole is very hard & stiff. I can't wear . Can't walk in them. I'll fall & break my neck wish they were more pliable....⁉️
Frederick P.
very nice quality and are just like the photos and description .... they do run large, so if your kinda between sizes, might be wise to step down (pun intende)
Shanna S.
Definitely 5 STARS!!
Jacqueline P.
Rustic and hand made looking. Very cute. I'm a 6.5 so I ordered the 7 and they were too big.

Kristie C.
Was very pretty, they just hurt my feet.
tami r.
I usually wear a 8-8 1/2.
Ordered an 8 and they are to big. But it won't be hard to find someone who can fit them this is the third pair and I get compliments all the time
Trisha S.
Great customer service. Sandals were wonderful just like I remember.
Lois P.
I bought a size 8 but too big, so I bought a 7. Still to big. Going to go for a 6. Giving other two away to any of my friends that want them. I love them. Used have some when I was in high school.
Gerhard S.

Deirdre U.
Great long lasting sandals!
Gerardo D.
Absolutely my favorite sandals! I wear size 10 and 1/2 (Reg. Shoe size) and ordered size 11. They fit me like a glove. Really Love the material and craftmanship. I was looking for them for a long time. Glad to find your store. You make me feel I'm 20 again. Than you!
Ruth D.
I’m very happy with my Water Buffalo sandals ❤️❤️
Ray O.
Fit like a glove after soaking. It's been 50+ years since I've worn these. I would highly recommend these for everyone who lived or wish they could've experienced the 60s. Peace out!
Ashley H.
I love these shoes!! They do run more on the men’s size though they’re unisex so ladies buy what size you’d wear in men’s shoes. I mistakenly ordered my normal size but they were so kind and helpful and let me exchange them to a better fit. The strap that goes in between the toes did make my toes sore until I broke them in but they’re amazing now and love them. I highly recommend not only these shoes but this shop for any and all purchases. I’m so please with this place and their items. Such good quality too.
James T.
Easy to do business wity
Vicki A.
Aww Memories of sun fun 70’s
Gerardo D.
Good quality and confortable sandals.
Stacey W.
I love the sandals and I’m going to keep them, but the sizing just doesn’t work for my feet. The 7’s were way too big for me and the 6’s are too short. A little disappointing. The sandals are great if the sizing works for you.
Jennifer W.
Love these sandals, on my 3rd pair . Wore out my first two pair , they lasted a long time. My dog loved this last pair more . Will have order new ones soon.
Cyn B.
These shoes seem very well made. The company has gone above and beyond to make sure I have the size and style I want. Totally, 100%, satisfied
Bob M.
Just like I remembered, maybe even better made.
Ashley H.
Let me preface by saying these are unisex so women buy very small sizes. I accidentally purchased my normal size so when I received them they were gigantic. Thankfully they explained to me what happened and offered me to send the back for another size or return them. I love the design so I am exchanging them. I should get them today. The customer service has been exceptional. They have responded to me in a timely manner each time I have reached out and are so kind and professional. This store is really such a please you buy from. I will continue buying here and recommending others to them
Tess G.
Bought these JC's (as we called them back in the day) as a gift for my husband. The look is authentic and love the detail of the shoe. Will take a little getting use to (they will be comfortable after he wears them in). The TOE Strap is a little further up like others have posted on their review, but wearing them around the house and not for long periods of time will be fine. Thanks for bringing back these shoes and great memories of the 70's for us. GROOVY!!
LuAnn E.
Items aren't always an easy find so hippie shop fulfilled my needs!!
Morgan B.
unfortunately, i ordered the wrong size. entirely my fault. the shipping was very quick, thank you.
Nora Z.
This sandals are just what I wanted. Wore this back in the 70’s. I wanted the hippie style and that’s exactly what I got. I’m so happy with this item. Thank you so much.
Sandeep G.
I am from India and the sandals come from a place called Kolhapur which is known for its spicy food and these sandals. The sandals are primarily worn by the village folks but are very popular with city folks and go well with Jeans and Kurta a longish Indian shirt.
The ones I got from the Hippie Shop are the real deal and are very comfortable. Kolhapuri Chappals as they are known in India take time to break into as the leather can be a bit tough but these are well "seasoned" and quite comfortable.
They fit well and the price is great too! Great deal!
Art S.
Great sandals and terrific service. Helped me to find the correct size, very patient. Thanks
Cattrine V.
I've been looking for these for ages. No rain here so I dropped them in water for awhile. I plan to break them in gently. So excited to have them. Brings back happy times as a teen.☮️
Gloria A.
Are you supposed to put them in water first time to soften them
rachel j.
Love them! Definitely go with a little larger than smaller.
ULE G.
I bought too big a size, but the construction of this item is excellent and the finish also excellent in its rustic-ness.
Ian S.
Comfortable and exactly what I needed.
Holly D.
Awesome sandals!! Gonna take them to the shoemaker and have them oiled and softened up!! Looking forward to being able to wear them next summer!! ✌
John D.
These sandles have a lot of memories with them.
Bridget O.
This was gift for my sis, we used to wear /share these ; we literally wore a hole i them back in the late 70’s. These are exactly the same exactly! She loves them and is excited to wear them .
Kathy U.
Was so happy that Hippie Shop sold these sandals that I wore all through the late 60's early 70's in high school.I chose the wrong size and I was able to send them back & have Hippie shop split the shipping with me which was very nice! We had a few more small hiccups but they were very nice and corrected any issues! Very good customer service and very nice people. Thank you!
Michele I.
second pair because i wear them out! love!
laverne L.
Husband loves them fast shipping excellent customer service
Cyn B.
These are a little bigger than I thought they would be, but still fit and I think they will be fine. I only just received so I can't comment on durability, however, they look very sturdy. Love the look!
Ken D.
I just love the shoes, Thank you
Ken D.
Really nice shoes, thank you
cindy l.
Runs a little large. I wear a 5 and a half, and i could not get the band around my foot to shrink enough to make them fit, but Hippie shop let me return them and I chose a different item and were extremely helpful.
Ted L.
I like them a lot.
My daughter says I look like Jesus in them.
I feel Enlightened.
Very comfortable
Michael D.
Awesome sandals very groovy vibes with these !
Juan C.
I have worn these sandals for years, I brought my first pair in a shop in NYC I was so glad to find the Hippie shop, they are a easy wear
Robin L.
Easy ordering! 1st pair of sandals were toooo big. I returned them,had them exchange them,and had a perfect size pair! All in less than 10 days,yes,I was counting! Wanted these soo bad! Will b making other purchases from here without a doubt! Thank u Hippie Shop
Coffin L.
They do run like 1.5 sizes large on size...I normally would wear 6.5... I ordered 5... Fit me good..they still are a little stiff..but I love them !
Kimberly M.
I normally wear a woman’s size 12 and so I ordered a size 10 here as they are unisex and they fit perfectly. I think I will do as another reviewer suggested and that is to soak them in a bucket of water to break them in faster, this way they will mold to my feet faster/easier. But they ARE already comfortable and well made. Oh and super fast shipping.
larry m.
wife loves the sandals
Marilyn S.
I love my new water buffalo sandals. They fit great and are so comfortable. They are just like the ones I used to wear when I was in. high school. And also so affordable!
MICHAEL M.
Look forward to wearing them. They fit perfectly so far-the exact size I ordered. I hope they loosen up a bit, as I would like them bigger. Oh well, I can always buy a larger set. I do like them.
Jennifer J.
Loved these shoes as a teenager. Have not been able to find them. Now, as a grandma, I am glad to discover that I still love them. Thanks!
Johnny G.
Still trying to work them in
Shelley F.
Love these sandals! Bought a pair in India many, many years ago. Just need to break them in!
Rhonda M.
They hurt your feet until you wear them a bit they are great look amazing with everything
Patricia C.
Since I was already familiar with these type sandals having worn them in the past, I knew they’d be first rate quality.
What really stood out however, was the awesome Customer Service; it’s rare these days to have a business respond and take care of an issue in such a timely manner!
A pair of existing shoes should be measured before ordering. I’m typically a Size 8 and through my own fault didn’t order according to the chart included on the site. I sent an email to the shop and the next morning I was surprised that I already had a response with next steps!!
The exchange was flawless and received my Size 5 in no time!
For a perfect fit, don’t forget to soak
the sandals before wearing
Thanks, Hippie Shop!
Jacqueline M.
Love these sandals. So glad I found them. Have been looking for them for years
Jim V.
Been wanting these sandals long time
Happy to have them just wish there were half sizes
For those looking for half sizes order next size up run a little small other then that they are made good and still look like the ones from the 70’s
Kim S.
I ordered the dark but got the light. Love them anyway. They are a little big but the next size down would be too small. The soles are slippery and I'm not 16 anymore. I enjoyed the process of soaking etc. I'd never done that in the '70's.
Marc B.
First pair of sandals didn’t fit correctly. The Hippies were very accommodating and prompt in sending a second pair which were a perfect fit. They are exactly like what I wore in the ‘70’s! - Let’s not do the math…
Dario D.
Got to soften them up in the shower
Holly D.
I absolutely love my sandles!!! I can’t wear them yet because I got the wrong size …. So I am sending them back for an exchange!!! So I have to have patients!!!
