TrailStar Alphas
TrailStar Laces provide extra length to accommodate all foot sizes. Please trim excess material after sizing the sandals to your feet.
*All TrailStar Sandals are non-returnable/non-exchangeable after laces have been trimmed*
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!
Recraftable
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!

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!
United States United StatesNice
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.
United StatesWife likes them
Good. I wanted to get sn additional pair, but they are pretty pricey. So far my wife likes them a lot.
CanadaI was dubious at first…
I have the finickiest feet. Having a wide foot and wearing too tight, high shoes for most of my adult life has led to a lot of foot issues. I was in doubt whether the Trailstar Alphas were going to be the ones that will get me through the warmer weather. Lots of positive reviews in a number of Facebook groups helped me decide to take a chance on these sandals. I don’t usually tolerate a tong or anything between my toes but from the moment I tried these on I was hopeful. I have worn them nearly everyday since receiving them a week ago. I’ve had hourlong walks and my feet feel good. I made some adjustments to the straps after watching the Shamma video and that certainly helped. The sandals are well constructed and the design seems to be perfect for my feet. I’m a happy customer! Hope you plan to offer them in different strap colours.
