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!

Love the sandals

I bought an Elite pair 6 years ago and I still wear them! This time I wanted to try the TrailStar model and I love how they look and feel. My feet are very slim and the fact that the straps are adjustable in all sections is amazing. I really hope they last as much as my previous pair!

Nice sandals but sole is thick

Came fast, easy to adjust, feel comfortable, but I feel like my sole has been sedated. Not the groundfeel I was hoping for.

The special pair made at the shop right in front of me by Josh!

This is my 2nd pair of sandals to be exact from Shamma Sandals. My 1st pair was the Trailstar Alphas with ultragrip, no complain, but thinking of getting size 7.5 this time rather than 7 like the previous one and with leather too. The fit is just spot on! Adjustment is damn intuitive and done within minutes for both feet. Happy Trails indeed!

Best sandals I’ve ever had

I’ve tried many different hiking/running sandals over the past 10+ years, and Trailstar Maximus (ultragrip) are so far the best. For example, I tried a few LUNA sandals models, but with just 1 anchor point between the toes, the lateral movement was abysmal in more demanding terrain. My favorite sandal so far was the Xeroshoe Jessie, but it was extremely slippery in wet conditions, and they stopped producing it now. But I can’t find any fault with the Trailstars so far - very comfy, ideal sole thickness, and not in the slightest slippery even after running through deep puddles. Absolutely perfect so far!!! 👍👍👍

Best Sandal, Best quality!

I absolutely love my new trailstar sandals! The sole holds up well enough when hiking on uneven loose rock. I hiked 1400ft down and up in elevation with no problems. The comfort and adjustable fit make these sandals worth every penny!

Wonderful!

I was trying to find an alternate to Chacos, since after going barefoot their arch support has become really painful.
The trail stars are perfect!
Super flexible, easy to take on and off, very adjustable.

Wish I got these a long time ago!

If you are wondering if you should get these or not…DO IT! They are the greatest shoes I have purchased! So comfortable and stylish. I might end up wearing them in the winter too!

Thinking of transitioning to barefoot running?
