Astral Loyak Water Shoe - Women's

A champion adventure water shoe while still maintaining the guise of a simple, cool, street kick. 

Intended Use: Water, Casual, Travel, Boat

Lightweight, low profile, and super flexible; the Loyak is for the adventurous water girl. 

Like most of Astral’s shoes, the Loyak is made primarily for H20 use. Lightweight and self-draining, it’s ideal for long days on or near the water.

True to its land-and-water design, the Loyak from Astral footware has a Flex-Grip outsole that’s sturdy enough for an afternoon hike and flexible enough to conform well to the ground. It’s made with a super-sticky, high abrasion compound that lets you jump rock to wet rock with confidence. The divided lugs give you excellent grip and stability on loose terrain.

• Uppers: Hydrophobic Canvas for durability with stretchy Airmesh at vamp and tongue for secure fit and ventilation. Two sets (different colors) of flat, water resistant laces provided.
• Midsole: 7mm thick, 45C closed cell EVA foam.
• Outsole: Flex-Grip™ is non-marking, draining, super flexible, razor siped, and has 3 mm lugs. Made with G.15™; our sticky, high abrasion compound.

• Weight/shoe: Women's 7 = 162g 
• Sizes: Available in Women’s US Sizing 6-11 (Whole sizes only)
• Fit: True to size (For half size, size down)

The Astral Loyak fits like a glove, the upper fabric conforms to your foot in such a way that when wet, your foot hardly slips inside the shoe. With the added control of laces you can adjust the tightness of the shoe for everyday use, or for water activities, while remaining super comfortable. Your foot is positioned on the foot bed in much the same way it would be if you were barefoot. With the thin sole, this gives you the added balance and precision when walking on slick rocks or other treacherous ground. With the shoe being ultra flexible also with the added powerhouse of non-marking sticky rubber, rubber is able to grab so much more on uneven surfaces than a stiff shoe, letting you focus on carrying your unwieldy water craft of choice down to the water instead of the rough or slippery path at your feet.

Worn to work, worn on the trail, in the drink, hang out to dry and repeat. Amazingly comfortable, functional, and they just look different (in a good way) from other water shoes on the market.

If navigating wet surfaces is rather comical for anyone within eyesight. And you undoubtably end up with scraped knees, bruised hips and other battle wounds from slipping and losing your balance.

You may simply have the wrong tool on your feet for the job.

The Loyak sole is made with a super-tacky, high abrasion compound that lets you jump rock to wet rock with confidence.
