Design and Functionality - Following the Trend of Gurkha Sandals: The HIKER, the root of the footwear brand SHAKA, features a design reminiscent of Gurkha sandals, linking it to the latest trends. Recommended for city life, travel, and festivals. This shoe-like model is also recommended for those who want to wear sandals in a dressy style.

・Emphasis on the woven upper The woven upper, which is a key visual feature, also pays attention to the texture of the tape. Starting with Spring/Summer 2023, we have used recycled polyester straps with sustainability in mind, pursuing the best balance between strength and comfort, and finishing it with a cotton-like texture for a natural look.

• Adjustable Size: The size can be finely adjusted at four points on the instep strap and ankle area, allowing for a secure and comfortable fit – a popular feature. The toe and heel are protected with tape, giving them the feel of shoes despite being sports sandals, making them ideal for outdoor activities and other active situations. *The number of tape straps varies depending on the size.
22cm~25cm: 4 horizontal tapes across the instep / 2 tape adjustment parts
26cm~29cm: 5 horizontal straps across the instep / 2 strap adjustment parts. *The horizontal strap with the brand tag attached to the ankle is excluded from the count.
• High grip and comfortable walking: The outsole features SHAKA's signature shark-tooth-like shape, providing excellent grip on both city streets and outdoor surfaces. The iconic sole design is characterized by a toe bumper and an arch support that fits the sole of the foot. The midsole uses highly cushioned EVA material, making it easy to move your feet and supporting light and comfortable walking.

Styling Suggestions & Travel Outfits: For spring, opt for a refreshing shirt or light jacket; for summer, choose a light cut-and-sew top. For bottoms, choose comfortable wide-leg shorts or a skirt, and complete the look with a bag and accessories.
For festival outfits, brightly colored tops and patterned items are great in spring, while prints and colorful T-shirts that lift your spirits pair perfectly with shorts and leggings. Add a touch of festival vibe with large accessories and an eye-catching sacoche bag.
Camping Outfits: In spring, when the temperature difference between day and night is still noticeable, layer a t-shirt with a cardigan or shell jacket. In summer, opt for lightweight overalls or a cool top paired with comfortable bottoms. Adding a hat or accessories can give it an outdoorsy feel, and pairing it with a vest is also recommended for a great look.
Casual Outfits: In spring, wear a mountain parka, denim jacket, or cardigan. In summer, wear a short-sleeved top with a linen shirt or light scarf for protection against air conditioning for a light and casual look. Pair with denim, cargo pants, or wide-leg pants for a sophisticated feel. SHAKA sports sandals are a must-have for spring and summer casual styles.
・Elegant Coordination: The simple, one-tone design makes it suitable for elegant styles. It pairs perfectly with slacks, chinos, pencil skirts, and sophisticated dresses. Adding gold and silver metal accessories, a straw bag, or leather goods will give it an even more mature look.
• Active Style: It pairs perfectly with sporty tech wear and jersey material items. In summer, keep it light and breezy with a simple T-shirt, sleeveless top, and layered leggings. Combine it with SHAKA sports sandals for both comfort and style.
