Why We Like The Astral Loyak Water Shoe

The Astral Loyak Water Shoe provides the right mix of grip, flexibility, and durability we need when guiding raft trips or kayaking technical rivers. The stitched Cordura upper is highly abrasion-resistant for durability, yet also breathable and quick-drying. The upper is also attached directly to the rubber outsole for a low-profile fit and enhanced feel underfoot. G.15 rubber helps us maintain our footing on slippery river beds and slick rocks, and flex grooves allow our foot to flex naturally.

Love the Loyaks

Love these shoes, wear my first pair all the time. Easy to slip on and off. Lightweight, but still good support. This is my second pair, holding them in reserve.

They accumulate and hold sand inside the shoe, whereas I had understood they would not

Loyaks are my go to for SUP

Finally got a chance to take this out on my SUP: clean up of a local run with group of college students. The sticky soles are great. The shoes are super comfortable, and the look great, too. Hoping to get lots of paddling trips with these.

Loyak Shoes hanging tough in Gnarly SUP adventures

Loyak M’s solid choice for River SUP. I was recently on the Glover River in SE Oklahoma and the water levels were low. I had to hike on the slippery rocks in the river pulling my inflatable sup. They performed great -light weight -look cool.

Versatile and Comfortable

The Loyak M shoes have quickly become my go-to choice. They are incredibly lightweight, and I barely notice I am wearing them, even after a full day. The grip is impressive, which makes them perfect for anything from hiking to casual strolls. I also appreciate how breathable they are, and strike the right balance between comfort and functionality.

Excellent Fast & Light Travel Shoe Also

I kayak and raft, and am sure the Loyaks will do that well, but bought them for other reasons. For bicycle touring and extended carry-on global travel I needed a very light, packable, and clean/simple pair of shoes for off-bike, off-trail, city, and even the occasional nice dinner and attending a wedding use. Bought them in Space Black, swapped to the provided (thanks!) black laces, and used a Sharpie to black out the their text and drain hole stitching. Know that they are thin sole, zero drop, flexible shoes with sock-type construction that work best with thin socks. Or none if using them in water mode. I like that, and if you do too then these are excellent shoes. They’ve been working great at home in casual use and here exploring islands around the Salish Sea. Am expecting they’ll do well on cycle tour in DelMarVa soon, and later on a European tour with family wedding in Barcelona. Currently recommended, and have suggested them to cycle tour group.

Awesome shoe only wish...

Awesome shoe, I wear it for wing foiling. Only wish the laces didn't come untied as easily, I have to double knot before heading out.
