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!

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!

United StatesAwesome buy!
These have been a really good dip into barefoot sandals. Still more supportive than a thong but flexible enough to challenge my new baby feet They need to be broken in, I did have to wear socks and phsyically break and stretch them a few times because my feet lock up when shoes are too tight but now a week and a half into wearing them they are getting soft and flexible
United Statessuper great!
Phenomenal! Super appreciate the customer service on top of incredible quality shoes! Love wearing them, amazingly comfortable, love being able to feel the ground and have my feet move freely.
MexicoMe encantan mis sandalias !
Genial. Realice los ejercicios recomendado para la transición y después de una semana mis pies son los más felices! Una pisada más natural ! Gracias
United StatesCannot believe how comfortable and natural this feels!
Though I've only had the sandals for a week, and it's still too COLD out there to wear them outdoors -- they feel PHENOMENAL. I have always had to compromise with sandals in my life... never fitting other than "well enough" and going with that. I finally gave up five years ago on sandals completely after buying a pair from a really reputable outdoor gear/footwear company and still finding the sandals come up short in comfort. What happens when footwear isn't comfortable? You don't hike in them, you don't use them, you find them hidden in a corner of your gear closet. Well, let me say this -- the feel of these Trail Stars is incredible! It's like walking in my barefeet, only better (in the sense that they are buffered from the foibles of the surface underfoot.) I cannot wait to get outside in these, but not only are the comfortable and natural in feel, but after watching the video on how to fit them to my feet, they are secure and build confidence in each additional step I take while wearing them. Count me in the column of amazed and surprised and very very pleased.
United StatesSizing
The sandals are great. However, I have two issues with the product. First, the smell of the sandals. You can smell the rubber before even opening the bag. It’s such a strong smell it filled up my room for an entire day. Second, the sizing. I did the suggested advice which was printing out the shape of the sandal to make sure I order the correct size. Thank god I did this! If I were to order a size 10, my feet would be hanging off the sandals. These sandals fit about an entire size smaller than usual sizing. I wish I could have gotten a size 11, but now I have to deal with the size 10.5 I ordered. Please be careful with the sizing!
