WATER We started by making footwear for our friends and pro kayakers. We needed a single shoe that we could wear to work and in class V whitewater on the same day. Every day, all summer long. They had to have the best grip and allow the best balance. They had to dry quickly, wash easily and sufficiently protect the foot in rocky, rooty terrain.
LOYAK A low volume, high performance shoe providing durability, superlative grip and confidence on water or land. The self-draining Flex-Grip™ outsole promotes excellent balance and ground feel while a stretch mesh tongue and flat laces hugs your foot with security and comfort.
FEATURES
SHARED SPECS
FLEX-GRIP™ OUTSOLE This rubber allows excellent flexibility and sensory feedback for heightened grip and balance. Maximized surface area for high friction on smooth surfaces. Divided lugs for substantial grip on loose dirt. Razor-sipping maximizes edges that bite into surfaces upon flexion.
INTENDED USE Casual, Water, Boat, Travel
G.15™ This G® Rubber compound is formulated for premium grip while also providing excellent abrasion resistance. Its low durometer means the rubber is softer and therefore conforms well to the ground. WATER READY™ Holes front and back of midsole drain water while the mesh at uppers vent hot air.

HIYAK Astral’s view of a proper bootie. It offers ground-conforming stability, foot protection and insulation without neoprene. The result is a lighter, more durable, fast drying water-boot with phenomenal gripping powers.
FEATURES
SHARED SPECS
FLEX GRIP™ OUTSOLE Maximum sole-to-surface contact for highest friction on smooth surfaces like boat docks, rafts, and tile floors. Razor-sipping increases quantity of edges that bite into a surface. Thin profile provides excellent feedback, and enhances grip and balance.
INTENDED USE Water, Boat
G.SS™ This G® Rubber compound is formulated for premium grip while also providing excellent abrasion resistance. Its low durometer means the rubber is softer and therefore conforms well to the ground. INSULATING AIRMESH Like neoprene, the 3mm quilted Airmesh traps air between you and the waterproof shell and our mesh dries overnight instead of a month. It’s also a much more environmentally responsible material.

PERFORMANCE CASUAL Our line of “casual” shoes are designed to be easy on the eyes for sure. They also perform in ways that most casual shoes do not. Firstly, they respect the bodies perfect biomechanics. This means your feet are allowed to comfortably be in their natural position, which is level with room to move your toes. Most “casual” shoes jack up your heel and scrunch your toes. Secondly, they all use our proprietary G® rubber outsoles which provides excellent grip on rocks, roads, or boat decks. Thirdly, they are made from functional, high performance, low impact materials like hemp and recycled polyester. Step out of the ordinary, and into the Astral realm of casual shoes.
HALESTORM Supremely functional, stylish, and sustainable; we pair our aggressive Trail Grip™ outsole with an upper that balances waterproofness and breathability. The full wrap WeatherGuard shields bottom of the boot from rain or slush while the supple, sustainable hemp upper provides comfort and durability. For trail or town, this boot is the best for both worlds.
FEATURES
SPECS
TRAIL GRIP™ OUTSOLE Carefully crafted 5 mm directional lugs increase traction in steep terrain and bites into loose soil. Open channels reduce weight and increase flexibility, creating a comfortable and natural feeling on or off the trail. Textured lugs maximize grip on smooth or wet surfaces.
INTENDED USE Casual, Hiking, Travel
G.15™ This G® Rubber compound is formulated for premium grip while also providing excellent abrasion resistance. Its low durometer means the rubber is softer and therefore conforms well to the ground. BALANCED GEOMETRY™ Level footbed and a wider toe-box allow feet to be in their natural position for excellent balance and proper biomechanics. Foot to ground distance is 19mm heel, 18mm ball. WEATHERGUARD Using the same material used in drybags, we encase the lower part of the boot with a water and snow resistant protective layer, to guard you from mud, water, snow and slush.
