Ah! I went straight back to my hippie days! Thx so much!
Parris D.
Very comfortable
Cynthia R.
I absolutely love my new sandals I never thought I would ever be able to find the kind I wore 40 years ago I'm so grateful you guys have the good old hippie stuff peace out
Lowell G.
After following instructions and starting at size 9,then 7, finally got the correct size: 6!
Sandals are as advertised-excellent. Unfortunately, wearing unpadded hard leather sandals at 20 years of age is a lot more comfortable than at 73!

I’ve had a pair of these for over 15 years that I purchased at a flea market while living in Washington DC. After giving me so many years of love, they are slowly dying a very sad, but honorable death. Needless to say, I am devastated. I took them to a local shoe repair shop and they were essentially going to charge me the same cost of a new car to fix them. I wanted to do it - I really did. I wanted it so badly, but the cost was just so unreasonable. These sandals are everything to me. I promise these look gorgeous with so many different outfits. They are comfortable AF and so well made that it literally took me over 15 years to wear them down. But I digress….going back to my devastation - I have been devastated to have finally accepted that they must now be retired, cradling my feet no more. A friend saw the sandals in my house recently when she was helping me pack to move and she told me that she saw these on a website. I didn’t believe her. I told her, “well, they’re probably very similar, but they’re definitely not the same….not possible….I’ve searched high and low for years and never found anything close enough.” Well, thank goodness I was wrong! As soon as she showed me, I nearly passed out. I have been searching for an additional pair of these FOR YEARS but never found an exact match. I promise you, these are EXACTLY the same (but new and not quite broken in yet, of course) as my first beloved pair, and they are BEAUTIFUL. My original pair are dark brown, so I ordered those and the tan because I can’t fathom the thought of never having these in my life again.

Thanks for the sandles. Grew up in 60'and 70's. Been a flip flop wearer because they were the closest to these sandles, with similar comfort. Thanks again for patients with me finding right size. Thank y'all.
Donna F.
Brings me back to the 70s. Can't wait to wear them in the rain!
Tony C.
Excellent service and products. Been dealing with the hippie shop for about 10 years. Never an issue. Especially when the put the word "hippie" in the front of your name in an email....
Cindy C.
I haven't seen these sandals in years and I was very happy to find with you. Thanks,
Anne W.
I wore these when I was in college and they were the most comfortable shoes I ever had so I'm going back to my roots.
Brooke M.
Lovely awesomely old school! They fit perfectly!
Rand R.
Considering-I thought they we’re going to be stiff and hard… they are actually quite comfortable. Blessed Be Jesus who guided me here. Love is Everything.
Victoria H.
I just love the style and comfort and reminisce on the era.
Richard J.
My partner absolutely loves her sandals and can't wait for warmer weather to wear

I am very pleased with the whole experience, my sandals were exactly what was pictured and took a reasonable time to get to me! I will order again from store…thank you!
Brandis J.
Sandals arrived on time. I ordered a 10 but probably could have ordered a 9. I wear a 10 1/2 in women's however these are comfy and fit pretty good. Love how they look on my feet! I followed the suggestion of putting them in slightly warm water for a few minutes and wore them until dry.
So far my mom, and daughter have also ordered a pair too!
Susan M.
Absolutely love the sandles. Exactly what I was looking for. And at an affordable price.
Karen S.
So when my order came, I followed the directions to break-in my sandal (wet the leather) and let it dry on your feet. It’s now week two and my second time wearing it, and it’s a perfect fit. I luv it and will be buying the other colors.
Deborah L.
I have worn water buffalo sandals since the 70s and have always loved them. I bought these because of the great reviews. I was a bit skeptical when they arrived because they were a lot heavier than previous pairs, but after soaking in water and wearing them for awhile, they feel great. I'll definitely buy another pair from Hippie when the time comes- if not before in other colors. Thank you!
Richard Z.
wore these out back in the day. did'nt think i'd get another pair but thanks to HIPPY, i'm happy....
Linda B.
I love these Jesus sandals. I had some when I was young in the early 70s. They are a bit uncomfortable around the toes so I ordered some gel sandal inserts to resolve that. I'm still very happy that I made the purchase. Peace and Love ☺
Valerie S.
This has been the best customer service I believe I have ever experienced. I have been searching for these shoes that I wore as a child in the Sixties. I was thrilled to have found them. They provided tracking for the shoes, responded to all of my communication in a timely manner, and were very understanding!
Cheryl H.
Love so much, have both cors
Cheryl H.
I love them! Have in both colors
Nilsa M.
I have been looking for these sandals for a while. They are comfortable and of great quality.
Timothy R.
In 1974 i bought a pair of these,just recently i moved so somehow they got lost and i was heartbroken,Even after all those years they still fit well and looked good.I was so happy when i found a new pair,i love them and thank you
Elizabeth P.
These fit perfectly. However, the sandals I used to have back in the day had rubber soles made from tires. I may have to make my own from an old bicycle tire if I can find one. These sandals are slippery on certain pavements and floors (almost slipped and fell twice!!). Otherwise, they're cool
Ann M.
I bought these to wear to my college reunion. Where I wore my original pair 50 years ago.
Johnnie M.
Very nice sandals. I didn’t realize they would be as comfortable ass they are.
Donna F.
Had a pair like this when I was in junior high school back in the 70s. Love them!
Joseph J.
So many memories when I put these on!! So happy with fit and look. Amazing!!!
Denise L.
Really happy with my shoes will order from hippie shop again
Aaron A.
They are just as I remember them. Now I need a big puddle to jump in to really make them conform.
Debbie R.
Wanted these for years and couldn’t find them.I’m so happy I found your shop on line
Susan M.
Great product!!! Great service!!
patti k.
finally fit, thank you for your patience and postage :) they are all i wanted, now i will soak them in warm water and take a long walk until they are dry, loved them in1969 and still do, will be ordering again they make this 70 year old remember the summer of 69
John P.
Very easy website to order, delivered on time, have to soak in water and wear wet to get the right fit but after doing so am very happy with how they feel…
Debi H.
They bring back lots of memories from my teens. I was raised in Phoenix and lots of us wore these out there.
Slightly tight over the top but that nice dunking you give them will fix that!✌️
Penny C.
I had a pair of hippie sandlas very similar to these growing up in the 70s. I was glad to see them for sale. They are very stiff, I hope it don't take long to wear them in.
Cleveland R.
love my JC's I was I wore them all through the 70s. You can only find them in the French quarter and they are painted Jamaican colors, just not the same. I will buy more as needed just like I did when I was a teenager. That's as long as you keep selling them ✌️
Kathy K.
I ordered 2 sizes because I wasn't sure which would fit.I usually wear a size 8 or 8 1/2. Size 7 was perfect.A little narrow.
Eloy S.
Good fit cool light weight just like the 70s
Teresa R.
The first pair of sandals that I received did not fit. I sent them back with a note regarding the new size and any other request. It was a very quick turn around and I received exactly what I ask for in my note. The customer service is great and I love the product. Great job!!!
Thank you,
TVR
Kathryn R.
I adore this shop. I have searched for these sandals in what seems for every. Some people call them the Jesus sandals but in this shop, Hippie Shop they are called WATER BUFFALO SANDALS. I suppose it is because they are made from the hyde of the water buffalo. Very durable leather. I initially purchased what I thought was a women's size 7, only to find out the sizing was more fitted as a size 10. No problem, I have friends who remember and were so very happy to have them. I repurchased sizes 6 and 5. The 5s me to a tee. Have other friends for the size 6. To break them in, please note, being raised in Panama City Beach Florida, you simply went to the beach and walked on the water's edge to completely soak them. Wearing them all day caused the leather to mold to the shape of your feet and once fully dry, they fit like a glove.
amanda h.
Okay, these say "unisex", but they are actually sized for a man.
So females, just get the equivalent of your size in Men's.
Okay, I give these a 5/5 because they are awesome, after you break them in.
Please follow the tip on wetting them on your feet, then wearing them until they dry.
It was like a whole new pair of shoes
Tammie H.
Better than pictured! I absolutely love them!
Phoenix D.
I love these so much. I get lots of compliments and always share your info with them. You are so groovy. Much love to everyone.
Dale K.
Delivery service was prompt and the Buffalo sandals are just how I remembered them from my youth. Soaked them real good and feel great.
Betty S.
I really love these sandals thinking about getting another pair.
Sheila P.
I love them! They’re just like the ones I used to wear and I couldn’t find them anywhere locally-people had no idea what I was asking for, Buffalo sandals? Huh? So thank you!!
Jim D.
Wasn't sure at first with these but once I followed the "old hippie" instructions I could feel them getting softer on my feet. I also took another buyer's advice and sprayed them with coconut oil and that helped even more. These shoes are awesome and feel and look great!
Robin H.
They came super fast, i just love them, just like the old days.
So very comfortable, just soaked them and breaking them in.Thank you Hippy Shop! You make me feel young again! A company that actually cares you are happy
ROBERT B.

Coni V.

Linda S.
Sandles came fast.I love these!!! However I did send them back for a smaller size!!! As soon as they arrive I will post a photo!!
Wayne P.
It's been 50 years since my first pair of these sandals. I loved them then and I love them, even more, now. In fact I soaked them in warm water for 30 minutes this morning and I haven't taken them off since. Thank you for this incredible blast from my past.
Blessings! Wayne
Marty C.
Been wearing the Jesus sandals since 1974, having Neuropathy these are pretty much all I wear year around, only time I don't have them on I'm asleep or at work!!
Sara N.
Even better quality than anticipated. They are the same as I had when young. Size is exact to the measurements issued when purchasing. Absolutely thrilled.
Michelle C.
Just gave a Review.✌️✌️✌️
Michelle C.
I haven't put water on them yet. I'm very Satisfied with these. I need to put them in water then wear them in the sun to fit my feet. Thier Too Quality. I Love everything I've received. Thankyou!
Cindi I.
Love my new Water Buffalo Sandals. Even though I have not yet siaked them so they conform to my feet (because it is so cold here) they fit great and feel nice on my feet, and I just loce them. Thank you for such a great product!
Debbie D.
My sandals arrived quickly and customer service was very responsive to one concern I had
Kathy K.
These Sandals took me back to the 1970's. I wish I had known how to break them in back then. I think a lot of people just throw them in a shoebox because they don't know these tricks.I did soak mine and wear them until they were dry. I had to re-soak the right one. I also rubbed them with Coconut Oil. That darken them up and also soften them a little more. You could also use a Leather Shoe Conditioner. Looking forward to wearing them and feeling like a teenager again. Or at least on my feet.haha
Jeana R.
I love love my Buffalo sandals the only thing is my feet are small, and with them being unisex the five I order is to large. ONLY IF THEY WERE SMALLER...
John A.
Just the way I remember

Michelle C.
Omg! I finally found my hippie sandals from the 70’s! I ordered brown I’m a true size 8 so I ordered a 6. They seem a little long but I have not wet them yet which is a must for true comfort!I also have another pair in light brown on the way in sz 5! So happy! Missed my 15% discount on the second pair (ordered too soon, I was so happy to find them) oh well:(
Roseann B.
Great craftsmanship. Solidly made. The wooden soles are a bit slick to walk on but overall very comfortable.
Monika L.
Had to return the water Buffalo sandals due to size issue. Ordered 8 but they were even too large for husband's 9.5 feet. I got full refund today that included free return shipping.
patti k.
loved them in 1965 thru 1975 and still love them today, haven't seen them available anywhere, will be ordering again and again!!!!
Joyce P.
They take me back to my teenage years! Love them!

Love them! Ordered them way too big. Just ordered another pair. Didn't want to exchange. Someone will wear them! Great price
Lynn P.
I love these, they are very comfortable. I had a pair like this back in the 1970's. But they are alittle big so I have to send them back and get a size smaller.
Scott S.
They are exactly what was pictured! I just have to break them in
Kathryn H.

Tami E.
I just got them! So need to soak them first. I’m excited to wear them. This brings me back to the 1972-1977 era for me. My girlfriends and I wore these and loved them!!
Amber O.
Love these sandals! They're a little narrow, but I have wide feet so most sandals are (and they're wider than most). I wear a size 8 in women's and I ordered a size 6. They fit great! Soaked them for a few minutes as suggested and they're super comfortable
Renee F.
Now that I have these in the right size they are amazing! Bit hard to break in but once soaking wet they are going to be perfect. They really are like being barefoot.
Lorraine S.
I was so excited to get these Buffalo sandals.. I always wore them growing up.. they still feel the same,very comfortable.. just soak them for a few minutes and put on wet , they will mold to your foot. I usually wear a size 8 , ordered these in a size 6 , perfect fit.. and might I add the customer service is so pleasant, very helpful and do not drag their feet in helping..get right on things and get it done.. love this company and love my sandals.
