AstralLoyak mens Water Shoes

I bought these for a three day kayak river run I had planned and they couldn't have performed better. I had to walk the kayak through several rapids where water was too low to paddle and they were great. No slipping and no sharp rocks digging into the soles of my feet. Great for portages too. Excellent drainage and they don't allow pebbles to get in. They will let sand in but hard to avoid that with any shoe. They look so good my grandson wanted to borrow them to wear out around town.

Great shoes !

Very very tight and a hoping they will break in a little and be easier to put on once on pretty comfy. Got them for kayak fishing lakes and rivers wile camping looking forward to putting them through the works

Like others have said before... just buy them! This review is long past due. If you like minimalist shoes without paying an arm and a leg like for Vivobarefoot (although they are quality). Other reviewers have taken off points because they make their feet hurt...well duh! these are minimalist shoes and have no super thick padding or arch support. So when you are new to walking more natural your feet will be sore, but will eventually get stronger from really using your foot muscles and soon foot, leg and even back pains while walking start to get better. Please look up all the info about the barefoot/minimalist movement and its benefits.Size is spot on. Ordered a size 10 and they fit just right.It has that nice wide toebox just like Vivobarefoot.The grip is other worldly. I thought they were exaggerating, but these shoes have to be tried to believe them. I use them for the city/urban areas and they just grip in such a nice way without getting stuck/tripping up, if you know what I mean.Oh and they are made of hemp. Look up all the great qualities of hemp for yourselves. You will be amazed. Hemp is many times stronger than steel. It keeps odor down. Also helps the environment by cleaning up toxins from the earth(even radiation) and is super sustainable.Ok so the only down side, which, isn't even so bad is the opening. It does not have a tongue. It just had an elastic type opening, which, frustrated me at first, but soon it loosens up or you could use a shoe horn.Tip* you want to grab the front part of the opening with one hand and the back, slide your foot in and gently bring up the back over your heel. Something like that.Also the quality is superb. You know when you open a new product and you can just tell its gonna be good. There are no loose threads, everything is clean, the cuts are precise...its just quality.PS the website fake spot has ratings for product reviews like this shoe on amazon. This shoes gets an A! (they rejected my first review of this product for referring that site...I wonder why?In summary try the shoe its a great quality, fits great, has a great grip and has a better price value than other more expensive minimalist brands.Enjoy!

These are my everyday wear shoes. I walk to work in them in NYC and they are lightweight and breezy. Perfect for summertime or just for people (like me) who like to keep their feet cool year round. Only thing to be aware of is that they are designed for water walking, and have little holes. This will also let water in on rainy days. It’s fun when you are hiking, not as much when you are just walking to work.
