Enigma MTO

$134.00

Made-To-Order Lead Times - shipping in late December (see details here). Read-Made sandals shipping in 3 business days. Shop Ready-Mades

The Enigma is a BEAST. This sole has the most aggressive lug pattern giving it great purchase on loose dirt and is made from the denser Megagrip Zegama rubber compound that allows it to grip rock better than softer rubbers can. The denser rubber compound means a slightly heavier sandal but if you are looking for the most traction on rugged terrain, you might have found your “sole-mate”.

For added protection underfoot when you put in a ton of miles on tough terrain, try the Guide Mode: swapping the 3mm midsole for the 6mm Vibram morflex midsole. Shop the Enigma Guide

After selecting your size and foot shape, you’ll build your sandals, choosing your outsole, footbed, and strap colors for a custom design!

Feet are all so different! We have three ways to order:

  1. Easiest Way: Order your size in the standard shape for the least fuss.

  2. Better Fit Way: If you want to pick from our 5 foot shape options, read about the differences and print our sizing templates to select the best one for your foot.

  3. Fully Custom Way: Due to the sole material coming in pre-cut shapes, we aren’t able to offer fully custom shapes in the Enigma sandal. If you need a fully custom shape and want great traction, check out the Pursuit.

The Enigma is the most technical sandal we offer. Like the Pursuit, this sandal is built for long-term abuse on the trails (just even more so). The same anti-slip footbeds offer excellent grip in wet conditions and the deeper lugs and firmer rubber add traction on loose dirt and rock.

When will I get my sandals?

We are a small company, just Adam and Elizabeth working together to build you a quality pair of barefoot sandals that you’ll love. All sandals are made by hand. This fall (2026) Adam is going to be thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and some of our lead times will change. All Ready-Made sandals will still ship quickly in 3 business days, while the Made-to-Order sandals will need to wait until Adam is back to build - they should ship in late December. Feel free to reach out with questions, and we are happy to help you find the right pair. deliberatelifedesigns@gmail.com
