Walk a day in these authentic Hand-Crafted Hippie Sandals and you will feel as though you have stepped back into the Summer of Love.
Also known as Jesus Sandals, in India they're called Kolhapuri chappals and have been worn as early as the 13th century. Later they were made famous in America during the hippie generation of the 1960's and 1970's.
They are still very popular today for a great reason, many people feel they are exceptionally comfortable and the next best thing to bare feet! Upon breaking them in, they form to the shape of your foot for a truly custom feeling fit.
*These are handmade sandals in unisex sizes so we highly recommend measuring one of your shoes before ordering. Please use the Measurements below to find your correct fit.
Made of Leather
There's an "Old Hippie" secret for breaking in your new pair of sandals - put your sandals on, soak them in water while they're still on your feet and wear them until they are totally dry. They will soften in the process, form to your feet and fit like a glove!

Best sandals ever, had a pair years ago but they got lost. These will diffidently last a lifetime.
joanne d.
I absolutely love these shoes. I softened them with coconut oil which made them a little bit darker also. Just FYI they run really big. I originally ordered a seven and I wear a 7 1/2 shoe normally. They were huge and so now I ordered a six and It fits much better.
Maria J.
After my 3rd attempt at getting the correct size (totally my fault for not seeing and reading the size chart) I can wear them. I'm working on breaking them in....but I know they'll be great!!!
John D.
Ordering was never so easy product is perfect will be ordering more
Geraldine M.
Liked sandals but they are very hard and uncomfortable right now I guess with wear they will soften up.
Modood K.
Wonderful experience with this store! I just placed another order. Customer service goes long way.
Keep it up!!
Desirey N.
I liked it, however, it was way too big. I want to send it back for a smaller size.
Elizabeth W.
Been buying these sandals almost every year. Love them
Sidney B.
Love these sandals, replaced a pair I’d had for 25+ years. The only fault I have with them is that they are too long in front. Measured my old pair before ordering these, which fit perfectly. If these had the toe ring piece placed a little further forward, then my foot would go to the end.
Mari S.
So very happy to have found y'all!!! have missed my sandals.....now husband is turned on to his own pair...
Susan T.
Definitely go by the measurements, not by the size. Soaking them in water for several hours then wearing them until they dry helps them mold to your feet faster.
Linda K.
Received my buffalo sandals faster than expected. They are exactly what I remembered! I ordered size 6 for my ladies size 8 1/2 and they fit like a glove and comfortable. They are all leather and of good quality too. I still need to break them in, but its well worth it!
NOEMI R.
I will give a picture later. This is a gift for my daugther who live in Puerto Rico. I am going to visiting her on the end of August. So, of course I will send you a picture after she recieved the gift. Thank you so much. PD: I order a pair for me, so I will send you a photo. I loved them and I loved your store!!!!!
Darlein P.
I’ve loved water buffaloe sandals ,I had them all my life , theses are made prefect . Hippie shop has amazing customer service and I love their products . Thank you Hippieshop
Stacey W.
I like them and the reason I don’t love them may be my own fault. The sides have wide, kind of flaps. They aren’t just normal open sided sandals. But I do like them.
Darlene B.
Fast shipping, and low shipping cost. The best part, though is the sandals! They are the real deal, very high quality and a great fit. I'm so happy with them!
Liz M.
I haven't seen these sandals since I was a teen! They are everything I remember and more - really takes me back. A tip I recall was to soak them in water & wear them until completely dry. It helps to soften the leather and mold them to your feet.
I ordered them a bit too large - the return was effortless - one email to customer service and within one week - I received the smaller replacement size. Very important to measure your existing sandals before ordering, as they are unisex size.
Can't wait to show them off - will post a pic...after a pedi, of course! Highly recommend - comfy and affordable! Thanks again Hippie Shop!
Clifford W.
Need to soak and wear all day . Little loose now
Mike R.
I bought my second pair within a couple months of each other. I like the Quality of them.
rory h.

Kevin C.
Perfect sandles. Just like the pair I had back in the 1960s
Lori S.
Love my water buffalo sandals. They're the same sandals that I had back in the 1970's. The only exception was, I remember buying them at the Ben Franklin 5 & 10 store for around $3 or $4. I sure do miss those days.
Thanks for also shipping so quickly.
Maria S.
Love them just like I remembered them from the 60’s
Stev J.
Very cool. Just like the ones I had in the 70's!
Sandra M.
Shoes run big so if you normally wear a size 9 order an 8! Otherwise they are just like the shoes we wore many moons ago!
Bonnie W.
Just a little big so I ordered next size down. Will give this pair to a friend. Terrific quality! Fast shipping. Sturdy & great price!
Vicki A.

Sheila H.
Hi, I recently purchased a pair of Buffalo sandals and they came as described, love them and fits to size. Will definitely order from there again. Thanks!
Nora Z.
Loved the item but they were too big so I returned them to get a smaller size. Thank you
suzanne a.
I wear a women' size 7 and bought the 5 - they fit perfectly. I'm a 70's hippie girl and we used to soak them before we wore them. I soaked them in water for 6 hours and then wore them the rest of the afternoon so now they're all nice and broken in.
Michael Z.
Very comfortable, lightweight and look great! Being hand made is just an added bonus.
Patrick M.
Fit great broke em in right the old Roman way!
Phyllis F.
So happy to find these. It's been a few years since I've had a pair. Originally
ordered a size too large, found a loving home for them and then ordered a
smaller pair. Soaked them, wore them and we're now best friends. Thank
you for carrying a small size 5!
Mary D.
These are exactly as I remember from the '70's! Too bad I measured a shoe instead of my foot and got the wrong size. I'm returning them for an exchange and will gladly submit a photo when they arrive.
Arlene B.
Everyone that sees these sandles says two things. I had a pair of those when I was a teenager. Followed by where did you get them.
These sandles are as comfortable now as they were when we were teenagers and they are perfect for connecting with the earth's grounding energy. So just order a pair!
Betty L.
I love these shoes. I had a pair many years ago and these ones bring back so many great memories. They are very well made and great quality.
Mike M.
Love these old school sandals
Leon F.
These sandals show off my narrow feet!! I would have paid much more for them!
Thank you for such high quality
Workmanship.
Paddy M.
Excellent fit, won't say how I cured them but it's an ancient Roman soldier hack.
Ollie W.
Mucho Groovy! Brings me back to my teen years. (I am now 66)
Alyson R.
Love my water buffalos! They're just like I remember having 50 years ago. Unfortunately they are a bit big on me although I ordered the smallest size available. Still love them.
Nancy M.
The Hippie Shop employees went above and beyond to help me! Greatly appreciated.
The sandals are like the 60-70's version and fit well
Geraldine M.
Loved shoes but larger than I expected had to return for smaller size otherwise good
Mickey P.
Brings back a lot good times
Jay P.
I can't wait for size 8 to be in stock
They do run big.
Kathy H.
Fit perfect..would tell a friend ❤✌
Jamie B.
My mother purchased the Buffalo Creek Jesus sandals and absolutely loves them, she mistakenly ordered the wrong size but we contacted the Hippie Shop and explained what had happened and they were excellent at responding quickly and sending her the correct size.
gregory e.
Great saddles. Just what I was looking for.
Mike M.
These sandals are cool old school style and if you have any problems customer support is on it so fast it will make your head spin lol be safe
Arlene B.
These are so happy :) Just like I remembered them.. I feel so connected to the Earth when I have them on. We all need
more of that !
Kimberly E.
Loved these as soon as I opened them! Quick note: it's super important to measure your feet so your order is accurate. They are Unisex. I had to exchange mine at my own expense. Super excited to get my correct-size sandals !! ❤️ Hippie Shop Love ❤️
Victoria C.
They are a little stiff but I know leather loosens up. Really like the look. Fits well.
Laurens L.
I bought these some 20 years ago. They wore out, beyond restoration. I tried to find them for some 5 years now, bought 2 pair online from elsewhere, in both cases the size and color didn't match. Finally got it right now :)
Pam M.
I love them a blast from the past I have 4 ordered 4 pair I wear a women size 6 and even you smallest were to big so I didn’t get any but I do like them very well made but my 2 granddaughters love them and 2 of my sisters if you make them smaller I would love to know
Tracy C.
I got sandals I didn't even know they still make
Jada
I love the shoes. I had to exchange the first pair because I bought the wrong size (9) but their customer service was very helpful and had no problem sending me a different size (8). However, I noticed on the first pair of shoes the threading was brown and on the new pair I received the threading is white. It's not a big problem and I've grown to love the extra detail but I will be ordering again in hopes to get an all-brown pair and even the tan pair because these shoes are just so cute!
Barbara D.
I so happy I found these buffalo sandals, I wore them in the 70s. They are comfortable. Fit perfectly!
And price is great. I wear salad dresses ( hippie style dresses . And the Sandler compliment. The dresses I wear .
Nelida M.
Beautiful love it ❤️
Karen G.
I've always loved these sandals. I got my first pair in the 70's and was never able to find them. Then I found your website a few years ago and bought 2 pair. I have worn out those and now onto the new. I just soften them up in a little water and saddle soap and they are good too go. They fit like a glove.
Kate
Booth 4 pairs. These are the only sandals I’ve worn for the past 10+ year and are the only sandals I’ll ever wear again. Set for life! To break em in fast get em wet and walk for a little bit try not to get them wet besides that otherwise they fall apart faster cause of the material.
Judy S.
Just like I remember these sandals.
Martha P.
I used to wear these when I was in high school in the early 70s and love them and when I saw them online again I just had to get another pair. The first ones I ordered were too big so I sent them back to get a smaller size and I have not gotten them yet. I remember wearing these sandals and the more you got them wet the more they melt it to your faith in the more comfortable they wereSo I’m excited to get came in the mail
Carol C.
The water Buffalo sandals are just as I remember them from my youth!
Maria D.

I was so excited to get these. They are extremely stiff, I need to get them soaked and softened up. Took me back to my teens.
Jeanne H.

I have been wearing water buffalo sandals since the 70's. I love to go barefoot and these are the next best thing. These are high quality and well made! Perfect for my Bohemian style! Highly recommend these sandals from the Hippie Shop!
Dick G.
I'm an old hippie and I do know what to do, buy great products at the Hippie Shop. I love my sandals, I've worn this style since the early 70s
Cathy L.
Made well but sizes run large. Customer service was quick to get back with me and explain process to return them. Looking forward to getting my size 5 sandals to wear this summer!!
Rebecca S.
I had a pair of these when I was 16 back in the 70’s can’t wait to mold them to my feet! Awesome Hippie Store will definitely shop again
Diane T.
I originally ordered a size seven. I normally wear a women's size eight. But the sandals were too long in the toes and in the heel. I exchanged them for a size 6 and these fit perfectly. I am so pleased. Customer service was excellent and I am very happy with the sandals and the manner win which my order was handled.
Mary Ann M.
Very nice. Love the color. A little uncomfortable between the toes.
Clifford W.
Just like the last pair I had . Still have to soak , wear & break in .
Paul S.
Better made then the ones I brought in NYS and price was 30 dollars cheaper

I love them. I ordered the wrong size. Had no problem exchanging them.

Teresa D.
Very impressed with the workmanship.
John B.
Hippie Shop was wonderful. I returned my first pair of sandals because I ordered the wrong size. There was no hassle and they refunded the money quickly.
Lynn L.
Just like I remembered them. I soaked them in warm water 20 minutes, wore them for 3 hours, dried them open air, them oiled them. Now they feel and look like MY feet. Very comfortable, great for walking, excellent for those of you who ground, like me. Just a real pleasure.
Linda W.
They are just was I was expecting ... love them and the memories from wearing them long ago
Judith F.
Had a problem getting the handmade shoes to fit; size chart was inaccurate; Hippie Shop reached out, send me a free return label and I ordered a size larger; finally now wearing my water buffalo sandals and loving them :)
Mark H.
I want to thank you for sending me another pair of sandals. I love them very .much I started wearing
AS soon. I. got them from the mail.
Thank you again. I cant thank you enough.
Julie B.
As soon as I saw them I had to get them. I can't break them in until I have back surgery. I had to have them!!! I was afraid to wait.
Lee W.
They are a little big around the toe, but otherwise they fit great I love them I have to get them broken in ✌
Renee D.
good sandel love them
Brett T.
Brand new, these are remarkably heavy...and stiff...even painfully sharp where the toe loop and especially the cord over the foot is. Obviously a sign of actual QUALITY. These sandals seem built to LAST. I'm sure they just need to be broken in, worn until softened. I think I'll have to wear them with socks for awhile, and just deal with the ridicule. Maybe I can Google some softening techniques like oils or water or beating them with chains or something. We'll see. They certainly LOOK authentically cool...very hand-made...not Academy Sports Store factory stuff. Overall...I LOVE these hippie-ass shoes !
Monterae L.
I had a pair of these 49 years ago!
Kim L.
My mother had these years ago. She wore them until she wore them out. She has terminal lung cancer and I just got her some. She always said she wanted to be buried in tie dye and jeans. She asked me to send these to the funeral home when the time comes. Thank you for making the rest of her days a bit happier
Bonnie L.
Really love them. Not sure how to post picture or video. They are a big 5 so I should be looking for a size three. I am going to keep them though. Do you make custom sizes
Troy S.
After having problems with my first pair Hippy Shop sent me a new pair free of charge. That's what I call great customer service!
Love them! Thanks!
Sarah K.
I bought these as a gift for my mom who used to wear them “all the time” as a younger person. It took her some time to fall in love again because this new pair was a little off compared to her memories. As soon as they she got them molded to her foot (thanks to the garden hose!), she was happy as a clam! Every time I’ve seen her since, she’s been wearing her sandals and says they are her most comfortable shoe. She says they’re just as good quality as the ones she wore 50 years ago.
Amy G.
A little too big but I love them!
