Shaolin Temple

Nestled deep in the redwood trees, our design studio sits triangulated between the undeveloped coast north of Santa Cruz, the epicenter of innovation known as Silicon Valley and the funk of San Francisco. Inspiration on all sides.

Sandals are a crucial piece of equipment for all of us who love the lifestyle they facilitate. We are product guys, so we cringe when we see sandals treated as a commodity: made cheaply with sloppy fit, outdated styling, poor durability and toxic materials like PVC. Our line is developed from scratch with the premise of challenging the industry norms. From entry level to our high-end, we have incorporated legitimate technical innovations that improve fit, function and comfort.

The solitude of the Shaolin Temple allows us to think outside the box and push the limits of footwear design. No marketing gimmicks here. Our gear is engineered to perform and styled for life.
