I ordered one size up thinking they would be too small but these are true to size so definitely order what you wear. If you are a half size I would also order up.
The material on these sandals is very strong and they do not smell like glue!
I found that out ordering sandals from MĆ©xico.
Great pair I love em!
Mary Anne T.

Canāt send a picture. Theyāre a Christmas gift for my daughter. Maybe in January!
Sheri B.
These sandles are great, once broken in they feel like they belong on my feet. Break in time is just a matter of wet leather and feet for a couple hrs. Thanks Hippies.
Roger J.
The water buffalo sandals where exactly like the one's I had back in the sixties. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size but not to worry the folks at the Hippie Shop have the correct fit on the way ! I'll be back to shop again.
Randall H.
Love the sandals. Love the color of these. I have 2 pairs.
Sally H.
LOVE these sandals!! Had a pair in the seventies, and wanted to find a pair that was as comfortable, and cool looking. I found it in hippieshop.com
Mary J.
They seem a bit stiff, I will soak them & wear until dry as suggested & how I did to my first pair many years ago.
Laura S.
Love my sandals. I used to wear them when I was much younger so it brings me back to my youth. I get a lot of compliments on them.
Patty M.
I wore these sandals back in the '70's and I love them as much now as I did then. However, I am going to be returning them because they are way too big. The length is perfect, but the strap across the top of my foot is way too big. Guess I got skinny feet over the years.
Diana
These are the best sandals since sliced bread!!! Love them...my happy feet
Linda O.
This store is great. They truly appreciate your business and will help you if thereās a problem. Iām breaking in my water Buffalo sandals now. I want them as comfortable as I remember from wearing them 50 years ago!
Craig M.
Excellant customer service,excellant product
Marie S.
Exactly what I expected.Love the look and quality.
Robin R.
I purchased this color for my granddaughter, she like the lighter color better than the darker ones but I personally think she just wanted to be different than me. I have the dark ones.
Robin R.
This is the 3rd pair that I have purchased. One for me, the other 2 for my granddaughters. My puppy German Shepherd ate my pair so I'm sure I'll be ordering at least one more. They fit great. Make sure you soak them in water and wear them. It makes for a much more comfortable fit and breaks them in so much easier.
Linda P.
Love love theses sandals. Wore them years ago when I was a hippie
Barbara D.
I fell in love with these buffalo sandals so much I bought both colors! And, I want to extend special thanks to hippie shop as I had an issue with one sandal and they sent me a replacement pair so fast! I didn't even ask for it they wanted to do it. Now that's good customer service! I've ordered before and I'll be ordering again!
Martha M.
Live my sandals!!!! Thanks so much for bringing back memories of my childhood!!
Leo D.
Haven't had a pair of "Jesus" sandals since 1969. I loved them then and so far I love these. Breaking in only took a few days and now they are soft and flexible.
Lynne E.
I wore these same sandals when I got married 31+ years ago. They wore out & had been looking for another pair!
David C.
Came as advertised and on time.I soaked them in water and wore them as part of the break in suggestion. The sandal form fits to your feet as the leather dries. Looks good and feels good to wear. I would suggest applying coconut oil after the leather dries to bring out the color of the Leather and increase the softness too. Very satisfied with my purchase!
Donna H.
A perfect fit, made even better than they were in the 60's and 70's.
Cathy I.
I lov these water buffalo brown sandols so much that these are my second pair...you guys are the boom ā
Kim T.
Easy to deal with and fast service

Soaked them and wore till dry just like in the 70's. So excited to find them again. The nostalgia is super.
Randy P.

Great fit and very comfortable.Fast shipping.
Karin S.
Been waiting years to finally get these - blonde ones. I keep finding the dark ones but they stain your feet to much. Thank you
Belle V.
This is the the third time I have bought these shoes.The first two times was in the early 70's. I was vary happy to find them again.
Julie B.
Love the sandals, comfy!
Teresa L.
Submersed in water while on my feet, then went shopping for 6 hours! They were literally like wood when I got them, I had to use a vise to flatten one of the knots next to the toe ring, but they softened right up in the water. A bit uncomfortably wet & heavy initially, but theyāre perfect now!
Helen Z.
Very happy with my purchase the quality is excellent. Runs a little bit wider than I thought.I normally wear a womenās 11 and order the size 9. The length is great but the width is a little bit too wide. Otherwise I love them!
kimberly W.
Love my new sandals
Cheryl W.
I wore these 40 yrs agoā¦ always loved them!!!!
Monique D.
They were very nice, altho they were a bit big. But they are well made.
Donna .

Rick L.
On my second pair. First pair lasted a year and a half wearing just about every day here in Florida.
Shelley F.
Used to live in these sandals in the 70s! Love the ācustomā fit. So happy theyāre available!
Judy P.
The water buffaloes are painful- maybe Iāll break them in with water and wear
Bon A.
I have been looking for these "water buffalo sandals" for years, I had a pair in the seventies that lasted about 20 years. These look the same, feel the same, and I have soaked them and wore them all day today and they feel like my previous pair. love them!! they are so comfortable and fit well. wearing them all day has softened them up a bit as well. so glad I found them after all these years. Happy "Hippy" now! get a pair - you will love them.
Eric
Some 50 years later Hippie Shop really came through! I am thrilled to have this little piece of my youth on my feet again.
The Buffalo Sandals came in an unbleached muslin bag befitting the memory of those carefree times. The fit is like they were made just for me. No need to soak in water and form them to my feet. They came out of the bag and went straight onto my feet. I love 'em.
A special thanks to Hippie Shop not only because ordering and shipping was seamless, but I first ordered a size too small. Their their first rate customer service for the exchange was perfect.
Nancy A.
I have not seen these sandals in years, growing up in arizona and california they were a staple I wore almost every day! I love them as much as I did in my youth!
Laura G.
I've bought 4 and about to buy more. I dyed a pair gunmetal and I've received so many compliments. Thank you.
Frances E M.
Super cool and comfortable!!!
Elaine G.
They are super cute. But the comfort is lacking. I was disappointed.
Teresa C.
Just a note, the size runs a little bit bigger. If ladies normally wear a 8 1/2 or 9 I would recommend a size smaller. But all in all I love them and they bring back alot of the 70's in me
Donna E.
Love the shoes and ankle bracket!
Phyllis M.
Fast delivery, perfect size, just like back in my younger Days
Nancy V.
I haven't had a pair since the shore in the 70's!
It took 3 orders but it was worth it. Right size, right color!
Thank you!
Steven M.
They are better than I expected thick leather made with lots of Love
Shelley C.
Perfect retro sandals for the Mojave Desert, I love them.
Theresa T.
Exactly as I remember wearing back in the day and just as comfortable after giving them the shower bath!
Joan D.
I have always loved Indian water buffalo sandals from way back.
Always a fast delivery and hey thanks for the pen and lollipop ā¤
Barbara D.
Omg!! Brought me back to the 70's! The toe area needs breaking in just like my first pair 45 years ago
Love them!!!
Barbara D.
Bought both colors and love them!!!
Robert C.
These sandals are the same ones I wore over 50 years ago. Have worn them for a few days now and they are starting to break in a little. Comfortable and stay on feet well. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.
Marilyn S.
Unfortunately I think these are a little big, so I am going to exchange them for a smaller size. I am very pleased with the way they look, they take me back to my college days, which is precisely why I decided to buy a pair. I always thought they were very comfortable.
Gordon J.
I love my sandals, they are so comfortable. I'm going to be ordering some more things. As the money flows.āļø
Customer
Thank you so much, they fit great. I have 3 other pairs for back ups bought at Hippy Shop. You are the best
Mary B M.
They're fantantic!
Joan D.
Love them.
Wore them as a teenager and love the now...the pom is a great additional!
natty v.
I started wearing these when I was 15 years old and Im 68 now, I lost track of them after all the years, but the minute I saw them on here I jumped right on them again, for the people that are new to them, Ill tell you a secret on making them comfy. Soak them in water until they get soft, as soon as they start to dry , start wearing them, they will form to your feet and continue to stay softer and very comfortable. try it.
Carmen M.
They were cool but too big exchanging them for smaller size
Gordon J.
They didn't fit me but I have a gift idea for them.
Deanna H.
They are fine but for other buyers - make sure you know it is unisex sizing. I got mine and they were huge. I gave them to my dad as they fit him lol. Unfortunate as I paid alot to get them shipped to Canada. It was too expensive to send them back for exchange or refund. I may buy another pair once the dark brown ones come back in stock. I would like that colour better. Cheers folks
George B.
Haven't had these in 50 years. So glad I found you Guys, I love these Sandals. Handmade is awesome compared to the crap that's out today. Please let Me know when the Dark Brown ones are back in stock. Thanks! George
Clara R.
I chose the 5 scandal.
My shoe size is size 6.5
Just like the ones I had in the 60ās
Great find !
Joyce M.
After a couple of fit challenges, we got it right and they fit nice and snug.
I'm sure I'll enjoy them for years to come just like I did some 35 years ago.
Michael A.
The HippieShop was so helpful in finding the right size sandal
My first purchase was tight though the top band (instep area) so I contacted them by email
They showed me where to measure them
We did and they found a pair that was wider and put them on hold until they received the first pair back
On arrival I put them on and they fit much better than the first pair
Great job HippieShop!
I remember wearing then at least 40 years ago (give or take a few years)
I am not a Grateful Dead fan but I am more of Yes-Cat Stevens-Mahavishnu Orchestra fan having seen Cat Stevens and Mahavishnu about 15x
Those were the days!
I grew up in Brooklyn NY moved to Daytona
Beach Fl when I was about 26 and never looked back!
THANK YOU HippieShop!
Debra W.
Should have paid better attention to size chart. They are very big and even when I soaked them they didnāt quite mold to my feet. I will be passing these along to someone with bigger feet than me and ordering the correct size
Vikram P.
These handmade sandals are great! They were really stiff when I got them. I looked on the internet and found that these Kohlapuri sandals are made from water Buffalo hide and will start to soften if put under a faucet for 3-4 seconds. I put them on and walked around for a while āand found they started to conform to my feet. They become a custom pair as you do this! I Love them!
Susan W.
Love these I did the old hippie way to break them in and Iāve been wearing them every day since I got them!
Leila P.
These fit like they were made for me!
Sunnie R.
Like them, but still a bit loose over my foot, they are also not as soft moving as I thought they would be, my old ones I had for " years" were very nice, but had developed many holes..... wish I had kept them... Soaked these twice and still really stiff... Breaking them in is the hardest part...
Other than that they are well made, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, very Helpful!!! Look great on and will be happy with purchase. Thank You for all your help!! Customer Service!! A rare thing, " a REAL PERSON actually answers the phone" , cant believe it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! completely un heard off!! Even at a bank, lol.... get them you will be happy after they are broken in.
Leila P.
Reminiscent of my younger years
Dawn A.
I measured my feet exactly to get a perfect fit. I highly recommend doing that before order! Love the light tan color!
susie h.
i love love love these shoes! they are so cute and are my favorite shoes right now. very comfortable, almost feels as good as being barefoot. definitely size down! my shoe size can range from size 6, 6 1/2, or 7. and i bought a size 5. also definitely wet these before wearing bc it makes them extremely comfortable and fitting to your feet!!
Mary B M.
I had to return sandals. I needed a size smaller. Love em though.
Anthony P.

Paula B.
Please order the correct size by using the size chart. You will love them if you do.
