Shamma Maximus Vs Earth Runner | Comparison and Review 

Great comparison Nick! Love the attention to detail and you were very even handed. Thanks for including us. Happy Trails!

Great video :)

One thing that shamus are great about his fishing beer in a river like fly fishing or something you can be locked into those six having tried to earth runners, both a Shama with the grip top or the Luna trying to remember the exact name. I think it’s called monkey grip technology. Oh, those both lock your feet in really good and no issues of Set another one of your videos. I did have the Shamma leather those are slippery.. I like running trails and sandals, cause a lot of races, have creeks and everything you get a Crossing, indigo, wet socks, and everything else but sandwiches run across and they’re dry good video

I wasn't able to break in those laces, love bedrock's!

Excellent video! I need these for walking in severely bumpy cobblestones in Mexico. Each stone is about 6” with very deep set grout, often 4 inches deep. It’s really easy to get the foot caught between cobble rocks. So I need a sandal with some grip to it, not for rain. Which of these would grip better on dry days?

Surprised in all that time you didn't mention one of the main key differences is the simple lace system of the Earth Runner has the strap pulling to the side resulting in extra pressure to the inside of the big toe. Whereas the Shamma allows you to position the main strap down the centre of the foot. Not sure if you noticed that? Also you can use power straps with the Shamma due to it having side straps on both sides, for a more locked in fit.

You might want to try the Elemental footbed on the Earthrunners. It’s rubber not canvas but has the same sole as the Circadian. Also their ergonomic laces are much more comfortable and don’t require breaking in.

I have the Circadian ER’s and Shamma Chargers. I love both sandals. In my opinion, in my Shamma’s I feel more secure, but in my Earthrunners I still feel secure yet more free at the same time lol. Im sure you get what I mean. 😂

Hi, do you have in both the same size? I have a Shamma and I am wondering if I can just order the Earth Runner in the same size

Earth Runners give you the benefit of grounding.

Hi. Thank you for your videos. I am considering the Maximums sandals for road running for those times when my toenails are hurt and my big toes have tendonitis (hallux rigidus). May also use them to wear to work etc. to let my toes live and breathe. How long does it take to get used to running in these (on roads)? Should I expect some chaffing/injuries when switching over? How flexible are these sandals? Thanks for your help ... ready to purchase a pair today :)

Hi Nick, quick question. Do you have them in the same size? Thanks!

Hello Nick how are you doing man? This was a good video review of both of your sandals. I am a huge huge huge fan of flip flops 🩴, barefooted 👣 , & sandals guy. I am 95% barefooted though. I love my flip flops 🩴 & sandals though. I always hated shoes & socks when I was lil. But now I don't have to hate on shoes & socks because my feet 🦶 outgrow shoes & socks when I was 18 years old. I have big very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide ( which is very very extremely wide ) with very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. It's a very very extremely wide foot I have. I have a pair of the Shamma cruzers. I like them because they don't have the strap that run over to the side like flip flops 🩴do & it makes it so much easier to put on my feet 🦶 then flip flops 🩴. When I put on my flip flops 🩴 my 3 or 4 toes get court up in the straps all the time & it get frustrating man trying to put on my flip flops 🩴 because of my wide toes. I like sandals like these since I have very extremely wide feet 🦶. For over 20 some years i could not wear sandals because the straps wouldn't fit over my foot. It would have been nice to see how the sandals look like being on. Question man? It looks like your big toe is really big from the toe print. Do you have any problems with your big toe Falling off the footbed of your Shamma sandals? It's not easy trying to find a sandals or flip flop 🩴that is wide enough for my foot that is 6 1/2 inches wide.

Do you worry about walking in the Earth Runners inside due to the copper toe plug? Do you worry about it scratching the floor?

What size did you get for the Earth Runners in relationship to your bedrock sandals? I’m trying to avoid ordering too many pairs lol

I’m sttting here in my busted ass Tevas wondering where I went wrong lol. Seriously.. this whole carefoot thing with high end well made brand popping up is fantastic. Not for my bank account.. but everywhere ese it’s great. The Shamma ones look more my speed. Weight on these is no big deal.. the big thing is they are so thin they fit into the wet compartment on my main backpack.
