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.

    Best sandal I’ve ever had.

    Absolutely wonderful product. Have been walking around Puerto Rico for the last few days; not sure why I brought other shoes. These are comfortable, versatile and don’t slide around like other active sandals.

    Great sandals!

    These are the only sandals I’ve found that are open-toed with a strap on the back. Without the strap my sandals can come off without me realizing it since I don’t feel my feet. They are ideal for me and I really love the width.

    Almost perfect

    Great sandals. Everyone with the "Should be 0 drop" after I wore them around the house for 3 days the heel breaks in and it's pretty much 0 drop. So anyone on the fence about the non-0 drop, just wear them around for a few days, the heels on both sides sunk in, and it's close enough to 0 drop without noticing. That's not the issue for the 1 star. The issue I have albeit a small one, is that the strap to tighten the on top of the foot sometimes becomes undone when taking on and off the sandal. It stays put while the sandal is on. The labelling of the Lems on the pull part of the tab isn't thick enough to prevent it from becoming undone. This isn't when the sandal is on, it's only when taking on and off the sandal. It'd be nice to have a way to roll it or velcro it to make the end much thicker and therefore impossible to pull through.

    Bonus for Lems: Make your toe area even wider on all shoes/sandals! I can tell with the way my foot sits in the sandals, my foot is near the edge width wise, but has a lot of space in the front. Keep the heel/midfoot the same, but please add some more toe width! I bet you'd get even more customers, add another or half centimeter across the toe knuckles and toes, and more volume (instep). I have other shoes from lems, and they're tight around the knuckles.

    Best Ever!

    Great to wear, all day comfort in Texas heat, even on small hikes. Works great for wet foliage from over night humidity.
