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 use an 8mm Vibram® Newflex sole coupled with your choice of UltraGrip or Tobacco Brown Goatskin 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. Pair with the UltraGrip footbed for use in the harshest elements, or select the Goatskin Leather for more comfort in drier conditions.
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!
Made in the USA!
Proud to be made in the USA and we wouldn’t have it any other way! All of our sandals are made right here in Santa Cruz, CA by our small team, using primarily US sourced materials along with high quality components from Italy, Germany, and other international partners. Follow us on Instagram and YouTube to get a glimpse of how we do it on a regular basis.
These are my second pair. I wear my jandals everywhere and when it rains. I also wear them when I'm tramping but the problem is, the sole shrank and buckle on the side after being in water. They also give me blisters, both the sole and the side posts.
Love my Trailstar Maximus , my foot sits centered while running. Strapping system is flawless and comfortable. Great for roads or trails. Highly recommend!!
I LOVE my trailstar sandals. They are so comfy and secure. I wore them on an almost 6 mile run and they held up well. The straps are SO soft and I love the maximum adjustability. Such quality shoes! Photo is after running in the mud and rain haha
I got wide, fan-shaped feet with thick ankles. Fits great. The top strap falls just below my pinky toe. I took these out for a test ride, hoping on river rocks and balancing on tree roots because my joints still allow it. Steady grip, and looks nice enough that i can also wear them around as causal sandals in a pinch.
I wear Trailstars pretty much every day. Mostly on pavement for dog walking, and they have held up well. I've also worn them hiking and in water (no leather) and they are comfortable and stay put, drying quickly. My husband and daughter also wear them. We have several pairs of the Elites as well, but prefer this lacing design.
The plastic "tabs" on the bottom break, and a few require buying a whole new lace to fix because they're anchors. I love Shamma's replaceability, but I just put a dab of hot glue in the gap to protect the strap, and it's held up well and saved the trouble of replacing the whole strap (which was in good condition). But for the spots where you just thread the plastic tab with the lace, the tabs are cheap and easy enough to replace, and maintain the adjustability.
My 70+ year old mother is in Papua New Guinea for 6 months, and and she has worn Trailstars all day, every day. She wanted a sturdy sandal with barefoot qualities and appreciates how stable she feels wearing these.
