The Pah Tempe (PT) sandal was designed to perform better than the traditional huarache in water and steep terrain. The PT was the first minimal sandal without a strap between the toes. This sandal is great for hiking, running, backpacking, everyday wear, or as a lightweight camp shoe. It is also great for those who don't like anything between their toes. The strap goes over the top of the foot/toes and is designed to allow the toes to splay as needed. This sandal offers an ~8mm stack height, zero-drop sole.
Approximate weight for W10/M9: 12.5 oz/pair
Where the straps are anchored at the rear end of the sandal leaves an awkward stiff hump that your heel lands on, and is constantly walking on.
I would recommend flip flops over these.
Material seems nice and the idea is nice but there are better options. I would check out Bedrock sandals if you don't need a .5 sized shoe. Their Evo sandals look nice and are priced very similar.
Kind of a bummer paying as much for these when it could have paid for 3 pairs of flip flops from Ross or T.J Max. Was hoping to get some nice zero heel drop sandals for summer. Not this year.
These are fantastic: great fit, feel and freedom for toes. Great design with locking clip for easy slip-on. I'll buy again if/when needed!
Like chacos but BETTER because they are barefoot! They are super adjustable so you are guaranteed to find the best way they fit on your feet without sliding around. You can’t feel the buckle literally at all and they go with every outfit! I’m so glad I found this brand, this is everything I was looking for in a barefoot sandal.
I bought my first pair of Unshoes Pah Tempe way back in 2012. Those versions are actually still holding up but I've seen the innovations Unshoes has undergone since then and really desired a fresh new pair!
The OG Pah Tempe were hand cut and glued and lacked a bit of polish and finishing treatment that made them not as cosemetically pleasing to the eye as the current version. The foot bed also got really slippery when they got wet and it was a bit of a hassle to take them on and off as there was no quick release buckle. BUT, I loved those sandals desipite the little flaws!
But, sad to say, I'm now even more in love with these new versions, the grand or great-grand children of my old Pah Tempes! The foot bed grip is amazing and the tread much more aggressive which is a nice addition. I also love the quick release buckle! So much easier to take them off and put them on! Adjust the ankle strap once and then pop them on and off indefinitely.
I'm very please with my new Pah Tempes and highly recommend them.
These sandals are great, because they protect the soles of your feet, while also allowing you full freedom for your toes. I highly recommend them.
SIZE CHART
Our sizing is based on standard shoe sizing and is typically true to size, however, we suggest measuring your foot and and using the shoe size chart below to determine the best size for you. Stand with your heel against a wall and place a ruler or measuring tape along your foot to measure the total distance from the wall to the longest part of your foot. If you already own a pair of Unshoes sandals, you will likely wear the same size but please check the chart to make sure.
