TrailStar Alpha

Take your adventures to the next level with the TrailStar Alphas. As over-the-foot style sandals, the TrailStar Alphas provide a secure fit that give you more control over every step. Weighing up to one pound less than traditional adventure sandals, you can focus completely on the trail instead of your feet. Explore new horizons with the TrailStar Alphas.

Sole

Alpha soles are composed of 5mm Vibram Newflex and 6mm Vibram® Morflex. This creates a sole that provides excellent protection for your feet while still being light and responsive. The aggressive tread of the Vibram® Newflex makes navigating rough terrain and trails a breeze while the Vibram® Morflex gives you a firm yet cushioned place to rest your feet. Alphas have a 12mm total stack height. Choose the UltraGrip footbed for use in the harshest elements. For more comfort in drier conditions select Cognac Leather.

TrailStar Lacing System

Increased security from over-the-foot style lacing is the hallmark of TrailStars. The TrailStar Lacing system features a specially made forefoot strap made from Toray® Ultrasuede and a nylon mesh. The result is an extremely comfortable material with the strength properties of webbing. The forefoot strap is completely adjustable and anchored through the bottom of the sole. Final adjustments are made through a tension lock on the outer heel post. All forefoot straps are cut to fit after adjustment. The heel section of the lacing system employs two heel posts covered in Ultrasuede for comfort. Heel strap adjustments are locked into place using Velcro®. The result is an extremely comfortable and secure lacing system that is ready for adventure!

Finally

The perfect sandals for me! I’ve been looking for an outdoorsy strappy sport sandal for over a year. No other brand has met this level of comfort and craftsmanship. I love they’re handmade and easy to take on and off!

Nice

Love the strap design. Very secure to the foot. I unfortunately bought A half size too long, even though I used the printouts to assess fit. It turns out I like a much snugger fit with my toes almost reaching to the end of the sandal. This combined with having short toes meant that I needed a half size smaller. I also think I need a custom toe post placement as my toes again are shorter than average. One major disadvantage is the black color. Please please please make the trail star in a lighter color such as a tan, khaki, light brown, or beige color. These lighter colors go much much better with summer wardrobes. Many people just don't like to wear black, especially in the hot summer time! I know I am not alone here. Leather straps would be a nice option with these as well. Last, please make your thickest sole 1 mm thicker! A 16 mm sole for those of us who need more cushion and or have foot injuries would be amazing. I am concerned that the 3 mm difference between the two thicknesses is not enough.

Great for Pregnancy!

I am an exclusive barefoot shoe wearer and was looking for an adjustable thicker, flexible, barefoot sandal with secure straps for the warmer weather in my 2nd and 3rd trimester. The Trail star Alpha were perfect! Easy to adjust and very comfortable! These were perfect for my babymoon in Florida. Easy to rinse off from the sand and tall enough to not get your feet wet in every puddle. I walked about 2 miles every day and my feet felt great. These were helpful when my feet swelled. I could just tug them a little bit to make them looser to tighter. Excited to wear these again this summer when I'm chasing a little one around!

These feel incredible! They are so light on my feet, yet feel rugged and secure. These will get a lot of miles on them next summer ✌️

Smells like toxic chemicals, didn't fit

I ordered 2 pair and when I opened the plastic bag, the off-gassing of toxic chemicals was so bad that it gave me a 5 day migraine. Evidently them make them with toxic glue to order, but don't air them out. Either way, they didn't fit, were extra wide, the leather was darker than pictured and I didn't like the look, fit, or feel of the straps. The toe straps really weren't in the right place but may work for an extra wide fit. I had to return them to look for something made with natural, non toxic materials

The best sandals I've ever owned!

The first couple of days I wore these sandals, they hurt pretty bad. Give it a little patience they will become the most comfortable sandals ever! My feet don't slide when they get sweaty and the toe ring keeps me very stable. I'm not much of a runner but I've had to run in these a couple times and it was a very decent experience. Better than running in tennis shoes. I highly reccomend these sandals!! :) 10/10 bonus they are cure to dress up and dress down.

Thinking of transitioning to barefoot running?
