New Shamma Lacing, new possibilities- TrailStars are designed to take on the toughest trails while keeping you comfortably secure. TrailStar Maximus have whole new lacing system, which connects the forefoot and big toe to the sandal like never before. With the Trailstars, you get shoe-level connection to the sole, using our proprietary Forefoot UltraStrap and SoleAnchors. Forefoot UltraStraps and SoleAnchors allow total control over your adjustments, to give you a perfect fit. All this in minimalist sandal that allows for flexibility and natural foot movement.
The TrailStars lacing is made from HP UltraSuede, which is material that is made without leather but that will provide comfort and security all day long!
TrailStar Maximus share the same sole as the Warriors Maximus.
Sole composition and stack height:
8mm Vibram Newflex
1mm UltraGrip footbed
Total stack height of 9mm.
The TrailStars Maximus are made without leather or animal products.
Have a wide foot and/or a high arch? Choose the L option in your size! The L size option will allow you to get the same size sole, but with longer straps to account for wide feet/high arches. Not sure if you should get a size L sandal? Email us at contact@shammasandals.com and we would be happy to help!
Shamma provides such good customer service! I am impressed with such a small company being so responsive and caring about each customer. The sandals fit great and seem quite durable. I enjoy wearing them whether I'm hiking, biking around town, walking in the neighborhood or splashing around in a lake. And they wash and dry so easily -- just a quick rinse in the sink, prop them up to drain on a towel and they're ready the next morning.
This is a very comfortable sandal once you dial in the fit. I’ve been walking a couple of miles every morning in my TrailStar Maximus. They cling to my feet, so none of that annoying sandal slap. I also like the over the big toe strap more than the one strap running up the center of my foot like my two pair of Shamma Warriors. Feel the freedom of living in sandals.
The ordering went smoothly. As I am living in new Zealand, it took a few weeks, a good 3 weeks I reckon. I measured me feet and I thought I got the right size but they were a tad too small so the toe strap is digging into my foot. But it's all good as I loosen the back straps.
Shamma Sandals use custom soles that are designed to give you the best possible fit and experience, so please check your measurements with our sandal sizing chart. The templates of the sandals are available for download and printing.
To size yourself, print the template out and place your foot on the template so that the toe hole is between your big toe and first little toe. Make sure that your toes aren’t hanging off the front of the template, and that your ankles line up with the ankle slots on the sides of the sandal. If the ankle slots are under your foot a little bit, that’s ok, the laces come up and around your feet – just make sure that your toes don’t go past the front of the sandal, that your heel doesn’t go past the back of the sandal, and that the toe hole and ankle slots line up with your feet. For the best fit, we recommend choosing a sandal size that gives you between an 1/8" (.32cm) to a 1/4" (.64cm) of extra room in front of your toes and behind your heel.
Adjustment Guides
Did you receive your new pair of Shammas, but looking for some extra tips on how to get the perfect lace adjustments? Look no further! Below you can find step-by-step written instructions as well as videos for how to lace your sandals!
Elite Lacing System
(Our Elite Lacing System includes models: Warriors, Warriors LE, Warriors Maximus, Warriors Maximus LE, Chargers, Chargers LE, Mountain Goats, Mountain Goats LE).
1. First, loosen all 3 strap zones until there is excess slack in each section. The straps should be extremely loose in all three zones.
2. Start by centering your foot on the sandal, so that the placement of your foot is in the desired final location (you should have equal room in front of your toes and behind your heel with this placement).
3. Now that your foot is centered on the sandal, adjust the buckle front to back to find a desirable location.
4. Now tighten the insole strap. This will dictate the buckle’s left to right position on your foot. Keep the buckle parallel with the bone behind your big toe. If the buckle is too close to the bone behind your big toe it may be uncomfortable. If this is the case, loosen the insole strap and reposition the buckle farther to the outside of the foot.
5. Now that the buckle is in it’s desired position and the insole strap is tightened, tighten the toe strap until snug and comfortable.
6. Tighten the heel strap to your desired comfort level and enjoy your Shamma Sandals!
Super Lacing System
(Our Super Lacing System includes models: Super Browns, Super Goats).
Models in our Super Collections have 3 adjustment zones for the perfect fit- the toe strap, the insole strap, and the heel strap.
1. First, loosen all 3 strap zones until there is excess slack in each section. The straps should be extremely loose in all three zones.
2. Start by centering your foot on the sandal, so that the placement of your foot is in the desired final location (you should have equal room in front of your toes and behind your heel with this placement).

4. Now tighten the insole strap. This will dictate the buckle’s left to right position on your foot. Keep the buckle parallel with the bone behind your big toe. If the buckle is too close to the bone behind your big toe it may be uncomfortable. If this is the case, loosen the insole strap and reposition the buckle farther to the outside of the foot.
5. Now that the buckle is in it’s desired position and the insole strap is tightened, pull any extra slack from the toe strap zone through the outside ankle slot towards the heel.
6. Tighten the heel strap to your desired comfort level and enjoy your Shamma Sandals!
Classic Lacing System
(Our Classic Lacing System includes models: All Browns, All Blacks, Old Goats).
(Our Cruzer Lacing System includes the Cruzers and Pacific Blue Cruzers models).
Our Cruzers models have 3 adjustment zones for the perfect fit- the toe strap, the insole strap, and the heel strap.
1 - Adjust to Desired Fit
After centering your foot on the sandal, adjust the outside lacing so that the buckle is in a comfortable position and there is tension (but not too much) between the toe plug and ankle slot.
2. Pull On Power Sleeve
Adjust the Heel Strap by pulling up on the power sleeve, to create some space to tighten the Heel Strap. It should be enough space to grab the slack with two fingers.
3. Pull Slack Through
Pulling from the Heel Strap side, pull the extra slack through the bottom of the sandal until the Power Sleeve is resting in a snug position.
4. Pull On Power Sleeve
Pulling from the Inside Lacing side of the Power Sleeve, pull the extra slack through the Power Sleeve until the strap is flush with the sole of the sandal.
5. Adjust To Desired Fit
First, create slack underneath the buckle by creating some tension on the inside lacing side of the buckle. Adjust the lacing until Comfortable.
6. Pull Slack Through
Take extra slack and feed it back through the buckle, towards the inside lacing of the sandal. Pull slack until the buckle is flush with the foot.
7. Put Extra in Keeper
To keep the extra slack secure, feed the strap through the keeper and pull until comfortable. You are now ready to explore!
