TrailStar Maximus
The TrailStar Maximus pushes performance with every step. Designed for intense activity that requires speed and precision, the TrailStar Maximus functions as well in the gym as it does outdoors. These lightweight and secure sandals break the boundaries of what you expect from minimalist footwear.
Sole
The Maximus sole uses an 8mm Vibram® Newflex sole coupled with a tan leather footbed for a 9mm total stack height. Vibram® Newflex is made from a blend of rubber and EVA to form a durable soling material with aggressive tread. At 3mm thicker than the Warrior sole, you will get a much more rugged sandal that is capable of diffusing the feeling of rocks, sticks, and the like from underfoot. The Maximus sole is suitable for a host of situations from the trail to the gym.
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!

Just because you wore a hole in your sandals, it doesn’t mean you have to throw them away! Our modular approach to sandal-making means that worn out parts can be replaced with a pair of pliers at home. Why throw away what you can repair? Visit our Parts Page to learn more!

Customer Reviews
Outstanding sandals! They feel like I have nothing on. Super soft leather. Will be my everyday shoe from now on.
Best. Shoes. Ever. They look good and feel great!
I shall come straight to the point: These sandals are absolutely out of this world! I had wanted a pair of TrailStars for a year or two; so when the beautiful Sahara Edition was released, not only was it love at first sight, but I knew I wanted to head to Shamma Headquarters in Santa Cruz, California, to procure mine in person. If you can make the trek, I highly recommend it.
Not only is the TrailStar Maximus Sahara visually stunning, and shockingly comfortable, but it happens to be the single (((BEST))) running shoe I have ever owned in my life. I did not expect this! I am astounded at just how comfortable, stable, light-weight, and wonderful the experience of wearing this style actually is. There was one day, about a week after I got the Sahara, wherein I knocked out more than 27 road miles in them, without batting an eye. I never imagined this sort of mileage was even possible (for me) using a sole this thin (9mm, including tread).
I plan to get a second TrailStar Sahara as soon as possible, so I will have a nice, clean pair to wear for casual use. Josh, Willie, and Emily went (((above))) and (((beyond))) to make me feel welcome in their workshop. Thank you so much for helping me to get precisely what I needed. Y’all are absolutely killin’ it, and I am exceedingly proud to wear Shamma Sandals. 🙏🏻
