The Gila Sandal

Introducing the all-new Gila: an adventure sandal that is crafted for performance, comfort, and sustainability.

Other outdoor sandals are too heavy and lack adequate arch support. They’re abrasive in sensitive areas on the foot and become even more uncomfortable when they get wet. They have too much strapping and not enough grip. They don’t provide enough lateral support, and they’re difficult to adjust. The Gila is here to change all that.

The Gila sandal delivers best-in-class desert performance, knowing that if it performs in the most extreme landscapes on Earth, it will outperform everywhere else.

Intensive product testing has been a critical component of the Gila’s design process. After five rounds of prototyping, three rounds of field testing, professional laboratory testing, and no-holds-barred feedback sessions with desert rats, hiking and rafting guides, rock climbers, nature photographers, sandal sales professionals, foot health experts, naturalists and adventurers alike, the Gila sandal has come to fruition, which we are proud to present to you, first, on Kickstarter.

The Gila was designed with premium materials that prevent chafing in wet, dry and hot conditions, making it a go-to option for any desert adventure – from rafting down the river to long days on the trail.
