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.

Finally, the perfect travel shoe.
I bought my first pair in 2019, and wore them everywhere (literally in 20 countries by now). Sometimes it's literally the only pair of shoes I travel with (or I travel with two pairs of Loyaks, in case one gets wet). They dry fast, wash easily, dress up, dress down. Pick up soccer? check. Wade fishing? check. Beach? check. On the platform speaking at a business event. Still check. Super comfortable. However... I should include an honest note. I love them so much that despite 2 issues, I will keep buying and promoting them among my friends. * Issue 1: The rubber on the bottom gets super slick after about a year--not a matter of the tread wearing down as it is the rubber hardening. * Issue 2: On my second pair, the there was a seam on the top toward the inside of the foot that rubbed, and rubbed against the top of my big toe. Couldn't wear them for a long stretch of time. It was awful. Had it been my first pair I would have returned them and been a one-time Astral customer. But it was my second pair, so I toughed it out until the seam cracked and broke after several weeks or months. Then they were perfectly comfortable. So, not sure what the issue was with QC--maybe I should have returned that pair, but I didn't, and I'm still a happy customer.

Awesome shoe, lightweight, flexible, long lasting!
Bought my first pair almost a year ago to wear in USVI. Love this shoes, lightweight and kept my feet cool as well. I found that I prefer more cushion so I added an insert. Very comfortable with it. In fact, after the trip I kept wearing them almost everyday even during winter when it wasn’t snowing. They still look new! The only thing they can improve are the laces. They become loose after a few hours. Highly recommend!

Fantastic shoes for any occasion
I am on my fourth pair! I wear them almost every day. This past weekend wore them kayaking and on a 10 mile hike that was rated as strenuous. There were multiple water crossings on the hike and I was very glad I had shoes that drained the water within seconds Outstanding shoes for any occasion.

Sweet shoe
Nice low profile and super light. Can’t wait to try them in the water. Just wish they had half sizes.
