Proudly made in the USA with high quality domestic and imported materials

The TrailStar Maximus are perfect for someone who wants a little more protection without sacrificing ground feel. These sandals are durable and share the same aggressive tread pattern as the Warriors with a slightly thicker sole. TrailStar Maximus are designed for those needing the protection of a more rugged sandal without sacrificing minimalist demands. Whether you are in the gym or out on the trail, the TrailStar Maximus are a great choice in all environments.

Yard sale sandals are gently used or factory seconds. They are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. They have a processing time of 10 business days before shipment. Tan Trailstars may have a treaded or non-treaded 9mm sole.

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!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Center Your Foot: Place your foot on the sandal with equal space in front of your toes and behind your heel.
Adjust Forefoot Tension: The TrailStar uses a continuous strap system. Feed the slack from the toe area through the sole anchors under the sole, all the way to the ankle.
The Tension Lock: Pull the excess webbing through the tension-lock buckle on the outer heel post. This tightens the "harness" over your midfoot.
Secure the Heel: Once the forefoot is secure, pull the Velcro heel strap snug and fasten it.
Check the Fit: The intersection of the straps should sit comfortably on the top of your foot, not cutting into your ankle.

FAQ

How do I choose between a leather or ultragrip footbed?

Leather gets slippery when it is wet, so if you plan to adventure frequently in wet conditions, go with the ultragrip. If you are looking for soft, dry comfort, go with the leather. Leather absorbs sweat, so don't worry about that too much!

Which sole should I pick?

Opt for the Alpha if you are transitioning to barefoot footwear slowly or want some extra protection on the trail. Pick the Maximus if you'd like a moderate, flexible, barefoot feeling. And go for the Ibex if you need a flexible sole with enhanced, protective grip.

Can I resole my Trailstar sandals?

Yes! All of our Trailstar sandals can be resoled at home! And you can mix and match soles from our Parts page if you'd like to experiment with a new stack height.

Can I return these if they don't work for me?

Yes! We have a 30-Day trial period so that you can test out your sandals inside or outside and still return them in new or gently worn condition. As our sandals break-in, they soften up and begin to hug your feet for a custom fit, so feel free to take your time and ask us any questions along the way.

What is your warranty policy?

We will always repair or replace any sandal that is broken or defective due to a manufacturing defect. For normal wear and tear, you can purchase replacement parts on our Shamma Recrafted page so that the adventure never ends.

Can you tell me about your manufacturing process?

We are proud to be manufacturing each of our sandals in the USA, here at our workshop in Santa Cruz, California! We source our soling material from the United States and Italy, our leather from the USA and Germany, and our ultrasuede from Japan. We are constantly looking for opportunities to bring manufacturing closer to home and work with partners we trust.
