Description

After over four years of development, the Switchback Sandal is the result of a simple yet revolutionary concept: create a durable, adjustable sandal made from a single piece of webbing with just one buckle. Through dozens of prototypes and testing, we’ve crafted a sandal that combines minimalism, comfort, and versatility - ready for any adventure, whether it's hiking, bike-packing, or world travel. The key innovation behind this design is the Switchback Slydr™, a custom-designed webbing guide that allows the strap to slide and adjust the tightness in the heel and instep for a custom fit that moves with your foot. This dynamic, slip-free design ensures a secure yet flexible fit, eliminating the need for multiple straps while maximizing comfort. The contoured Barefoot Footbed™ is crafted with a texture that mimics the natural shape of the foot. The anatomical contours wrap around the bottom of the foot to enhance sensory feedback and keep your feet responsive to the terrain beneath you. The sandal features a full rubber outsole for durability and traction on diverse surfaces, paired with an EVA midsole that provides lightweight cushioning for all-day comfort. With a minimal drop platform for natural alignment, the Switchback Sandal is engineered for both performance and comfort, making it the perfect companion for rugged trails, beach days, or urban exploration. Ready for anything, this sandal is designed to go wherever your adventures take you. Features • Fit: Lems WIDEST Natural-Shape™ • Stack Height: 14-17mm • Drop: 3.0mm • Vegan: Cactus & Oasis • Non-Vegan: Mojave, Scorpion & Sandstorm Switchback Sandal Sizing We find that the Switchback Sandal fits true to size, so you can order your normal US size. However, this style is only offered in whole sizes, if you are in-between sizes we recommend sizing up. This is a unisex sandal, so the width is the same for both men's and women's.

  • Upper (Nylon Straps): Cactus & Oasis
  • Lining: Neoprene & microfiber
  • Outsole: Full rubber

This is my second pair- I wear them everywhere: out and about, hiking...once you get the straps set to fit your foot the fit is very secure. For steep uphills sometimes the back strap slips and loosens a bit, but I imagine most folks aren't hiking in these. True to size. They do need a short break in period but then they're good to go on all your adventures.

I ordered these Switchback sandals specifically for a trip to the Galápagos, and I absolutely loved the look and feel of them on the first day. Unfortunately, everything changed once they got wet. I developed a very painful blister almost immediately. Since we were out exploring and away from our room, I wasn’t able to change shoes, which made the rest of the day miserable. The blister was bad eno…

This is my first Lems sandal. I wore it today for 3 hours and it’s perfectly comfortable. No issues anywhere. I usually wear a size 9 in sandals and it fits great. I started with the black and I’m actually going to purchase another. I would love to try out the knitted version but find the colors a little too crazy. Cute maybe for one pair but all of the colors are like rainbows. If you go on vacat…
