Current Lead Times

Adam is back from his ECT thru-hike and all sandals ordered while he was gone are in production! Lead time for new orders is 10 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, during sales and promotions, and during vacations we can sometimes get a bit backed up.

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: The minimalist buckle is the one all current sandals use. 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.

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.
