Current Lead Times - 15 business days
We are a small company that is committed to making you a quality pair of sandals that you’ll absolutely love! All sandals are custom-made by hand. We make sandals each week and strive to ship all orders within 10 business days of receiving your order. However, in the busy summer months and during sales and promotions we can sometimes get a bit backed up.
Now that spring/summer is here and we are heading to Appalachian Trail Days later this month, lead time is sitting at about 15 business days. We are working hard to get your sandals made and shipped as soon as possible! Thanks for supporting our business.

Adjusting my sandals for the best fit
Whether you have the Huarache (toe thong) style or the Duo (over the toes), instructions and tips for adjusting and caring for your Deliberate Life sandals are available here.
Can I re-lace my sandals to a different buckle style?
Clip buckle to minimalist buckle: If you already have a pair of our sandals with the clip buckle and want to try the minimalist buckle, follow these instructions to re-lace. Minimalist buckle kit coming soon. In the meantime, email me and I can get you a set of buckles.
Minimalist buckle to clip buckle: If you have a pair of our sandals with the minimalist buckle and want to switch to the clip buckle, follow these instructions to re-lace. You can get a set of clip buckles with ankle straps here.
Are they supportive?
Simply put: no. Minimalist footwear is essentially just something to protect your foot from pointy things. No support means your foot works as it was designed to do (and gets stronger!)
Can I customize my sandals?
Yes. All of our sandals can be customized to your preferences. Check out the five footshapes we offer and our customization page. We are also happy to talk through your ideas with you! Reach out to us at deliberatelifedesigns@gmail.com to talk about what you want.
