Water Buffalo Sandals

Love them so much that I literally only take them off to go to bed. I have even been showering with them on to help break them in. I am a happy camper.

Ordered the wrong size leather sandals. Wrote a note to company requesting the correct size. Received the right sandals in about a week!!! Terrific customer service and super fast turn around time. I love the sandals and highly recommend The Hippy Shop.

Just as comfortable as I remember. Love these sandals .

I've been looking for these sandals for years. I ordered both colors. They are amazing! I like that they are real leather, with no plastic bottoms. Great for grounding. There is a trick to them that I remember from the 70's and that is to wear them wet for the first time. Happy! Happy! Thanks Hippie Shop! Jan from Canada

Good purchase from Hippie Shop. I bought two of them a few months apart. These are much more durable and reinforced unlike the older ones we had from the 70s that often fell apart.  Soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to loosen them up wear until dry.

Reminiscent of late ‘60’s and’70’s. After soak they we’re feeling broke in!

They were exactly what my mother in law wanted. I got them for her as a surprise gift since she'd been reminiscing about her "hippie" days and mentioned these types of sandals. Initially I had gotten her the size I thought would fit but it did not. Thankfully customer service was amazing. I emailed them about needing another size and received a response the same day. They said no problem, and sent me a shipping label so I didn't have to pay to send them back. Once they received the original pair the shipped me the size I needed. My mother in law was over the moon about them, they fit and were what she remembered from her past. This was my first purchase from HippieShop, I was 100% satisfied with the purchase and handling of needing to exchange an item.

The sandals are pretty stiff at first. I dunked them in water a couple of minutes, then put them on and walked several miles in them to break them in. Now they are perfect

I wear a women’s 8 and these are a 6. I have broke them in yet or wet them. I love them! Thank you

Just like the ones I used back in the 70’s

I am so happy, I finally got my sandals......I didn't think I would like the cream color, but I love it.. Thank you, ladies for the help..I will order again...I have been telling everyone about you guys.. Thx... Charlotte

Love it

I ordered the wrong size for my and wife's pair... Contacted customer service and they were wonderful... Sent sandals back and had new pairs within a week. Awesome to.work with and great stock of about anything you can imagine! I'll continue to order from them in the future!

Delivery fast, Easy ordering. And The quality of my Buffalo Sandals excellent. Wear them all the time. Thank you so much. I will order again from you

I wanted the feel of leather and it’s exactly right. I cannot wait for my next pair (brown) to become available!

This is my second pair, my dog seemed to love chewing on them one night...sigh..def my fault, lesson learned. Great sandals or I would not have bothered to reorder !!!!!!

I’m an old guy! I wore these when I was a teen in the 60’s. This is the first pair that I have had since 1968!!! I love them!!!

Whenever I get a new pair of Buffalo sandals I put them on and dip my feet in the pool then wear them until they dry. They form to my feet perfectly and become my new best friends. Add a little saddle oil and they last a long time.

I have purchased a pair of sandals annually since the Hippie Shop opened in the mid 90s. Always quality, always good, prompt service.

These are the sandals worn by the really cool girls in Jersey in the 70's!! They need to get wet, try even soaking them. Then wear them. They will mold to your feet.

they arrived in about 5 or 6 days. they were everything they were advertised. love them and will be ordering more. thank you soooo much

I remember wearing these sandals as a kid. Glad I could find them.

Fast shipping and great sandals.

I love my sandals! And I love you guys. Thank you again for everything✌️

Very stiff, but I know they will become my faves as soon as I can break them in. I have looked for these for several summers....just looking at them brings back so many memories. Thank you.

These sandals are amazing. So comfortable. I love them!!!

Just like they ones that I had years ago! Perfect ❤️

These sandals are comfy and look great

wore sandals like these in the 60's!!! brings back so many great memories!

I will send you a picture when I am able to get my sandals wet amd wear them until they are dry. I love them now but, want to see what they are like when they are fitted to my feet as directed. Thank you.

Wearing this type of sandals since 1970. It's great to be able to still find them available only at hippie. Thank you

I absolutely love these sandals. They were a bit stiff when they first arrived but once you soak them for about three minutes and let them dry on your feet they fit like a glove! So beautiful, I do recommend getting two sizes down as they run a bit big (I’m usually an 8 but bought a 6). I’m very happy with my purchase!

Had these sandals years ago and am thrilled to find them again. Very comfortable, not too long to break in (did the water soak and wore wet). I love these!

I bought the sandals because my mother had a pair years ago and she loved them my mother is deceased so I hope I love them just as much

Love the sandals! Takes me back to my youth. So happy I found them. Got them right away

I love these sandals! I’ve been looking for a pair of Water Buffaloes for the longest. Customer service was fine and my order arrived promptly.

You guys are the best! I really appreciate you sending me a new pair after my toe area broke off. I’m telling everyone I know about you! I love you guys ❤️✌️

Soaked in water like recommended and they feel just fine. Would buy them again.

Great fit. I had been looking for these for years and finally found them.

I LOVE my hippie shoes! They are a great bargain at this price.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these sandals. Takes me back....

I would love to share a photo but for some reason it doesn't work for me.These Water Buffalo sandels are awesome. Now I wear when everyday. Pretty much speechless. Damn dope tho!!!! Yous ROCK my peeps. Love yas. Amanda Stearns

I love this website!! There is nothing like this where I live. The water Buffalo Sandals omg so comfy

I love these sandals just like the originals, sorry could not post picture because I need to exchange for a smaller size. That being said I cannot wait for them to restock my size they are great! I will be looking forward to getting the right size. PS The Hippie Shop is very professional, courteous and helpful to deal with. I recommend this shop .

Never had a pair before, They are awesome.

My favorite sandals ever! Stylist. Comfortable. And Consistently Chic. I have 10 pairs of them primarily in brown, but, now have an natural/tan. Hippie Shop is always hip!

I love the sandals and have been wearing them and breaking them in. They fit great and I’m very happy with he purchase. No pics... years of dance and aerobics made for nasty-looking feet.

Great Sandals. Lot's of compliments. Comfortable.

Our weather has finally warmed up to wear these! I think these are really cool. I still need to soak them and wear them but as they are they feel great! I think I’m in love !!

Great pair of sandals, actually just ordered another pair!

So excited to finally have another pair of these just waiting to break them in so they will shape to my feet. Great pair of sandals.

Love these sandals

I had a pair of these when in my teens and I loved them. When they broke I was sad. When I saw them in the hippie shop recently I couldn’t wait to buy a pair. I still love them and I’m thinking about buying a second pair before I can’t get them anymore.

Love my sandals!! I bought 2 pairs

Bought 2 pairs love them both absolutely happy as a hippie

They’re absolutely wonderful fit nice so glad I ordered them

Love em!!!

Waiting to buy size 5 when they come

I love these shoes!!

I wore this style of sandals many years ago. I wanted a pair so badly; my friend ordered them for me

Had a pair back in the 70's. Order came very fast and I love them!

I love them I had a pair when I was a teenager definitely make sure you measure so you get the right size

They dont seem to be a light & thin I remember, but they are comfortable. I will enjoy them this summer for sure

Bought for my Mom. She likes them

Your customer service is amazing. My replacement sandals were here on a flash. Love having both colors.

Loved the look, I purchased the wrong size so unfortunately I sent them back and did not repurchase any. Only advice read measurement instructions before you purchase as they are unisex. Company was very good about returns.

Ordered the wrong size. Ordering another pair.

Ever since my daughters Pup chewed up my other all leather toe-loop sandals I have been searching in vain for another pair...! These sandals are everything they said they would be!!! All leather and good looking !!! Thank you I’ll probably buy more to ensure I’ll never be without them ever again !!!

Bought these for my granddaughters 19th birthday. I had a pair in the 70’s and loved them. She was thrilled with them.

Bought these for my girlfriend, she loves them.....

Great experience, friendly website.

Omg I got them fast and I love them thank you some carol

brought me back to my childhood times. just loved them

Love the water buffalo sandals.

I like the look of the sandals. As with any leather shoe needed to be broken in and needed leather conditioner to soften the leather. But otherwise love them.

I bought these for my boyfriend who is always barefoot due to an old injury and he loves these sandals. He says it’s the closest thing to being barefoot

Beautiful. Exactly as shown! Thank you!

I picked the right size. Like the tan color.

These sandals are awesome, exactly what I wore in the 70s! Thanks Hippie Shop.

I dig my water buffalo sandals along with my leather fringe over the shoulder purse and my leather fringe vest. It matched perfectly with my image leather bracelet and my leather and beads piece sign necklace. I got to break them in on my mothers day weekend to san francisco with my daughter and her family. I received so many compliments and had random ppl take pix with me. ✌

You have to definitely soak them in water a few times and wear them then treat them with an oil but they're worth it

These were delivered super fast and my first impression was 'oh, crap' because I have super high arches which makes the band across the top of the foot feel super tight and Fred Flintstone-sized big toes which I couldn't even get through the ring that goes around the big toes. Then to top it off, I have limited movement in my left foot because of foot surgery when I was only 10. But the icing on the crap cake is that I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet so that sometimes they are numb, sometimes they feel burning hot and sometimes freezing cold and so I have difficulty with all types of shoes but especially sandals. Well, I soaked them in hot water for a couple of minutes, pushed my feet into them, scootched them around a bit, walked all over the place and the next day, feet slid right into them effortlessly. I was gobsmacked! The soles felt really slippery at first but I wore them and walked all over the cement sidewalks and roughed them up a bit. This is a long review but it's because you might get these and want to send them back and I'm here to tell you, don't! Soak them several minutes and put them on. I used a small amt of coconut oil on my feet to help get them on also. Oh, and I normally wear a size 9 women's so I got the size 7 and they're perfect. My husband liked them so much he asked me to order him a pair too. Cool company, super fast shipping and amazing customer service.

I also lov my leather sandols. So now i have a conpleat alfit from you guys, the leather sandols, leather vest, leather fring purce, leather stone necklace an bracelet, thanks ☺✌

2nd pair I bought my daughter saw mine & loved them so I bought her a pair for her birthday. There very comfortable. !

took me back to the 70's

Great shipping...fast

Love them so much. Haven't found a pair since 1984!!!

Bought these for my Mother for Mother's Day. She absolutely loves them. She said they are very good quality!

Love love love them..‍♀️Appreciate the customer service..my exchange was easy and fast..

I really like these shoes! I hope to be able to wear them for years. I feel like a 70 year old hippie.

Love these shoes. I’ve been searching forever for a pair.

SO EXCITED that I found them - for a reasonable price to boot. (no pun intended, lol) I have worn these since the 70's. Just love them.

I was always wearing water buffalo's in my younger days but haven't found them in years. These ones are well made and even have a small heel to improve spport.

Love them a lot.
