Great water and hiking sandal
An adjustable heel strap made this a winner for me. There was no break-in period and my first day on the trail felt like I had worn them for months. Took them to the Amazon and they handled wet and slippery conditions.
New favorite sandals on and off water
These are great on the boat and camping. I prefer them to all other birks and sandals on and off boat while camping. The blue is pretty sweet too!
My new summer staple…
Purchased these sandals about a week ago in the blue. First impression is they feel like a cross between a sneaker and a slipper. They are very comfortable and performance forward, as you would expect from an Astral footbed. Unlike other sandals, I wasn’t gripping my toes on the edge of the sole to ensure my foot stayed in place. The construction and design did that for me! The buckles allowed me to tighten down the sandals when needed on steeper sections of rock, but I most enjoyed wearing them rather loose. Only compliant so far is that they were slightly damp the morning after my yearly spring river jump!
Wanted to love these.......
I wanted to Love these, but got cuts over my arches on both feet. Actually wasn't aware of it until I went to put them on 2 days later, and realized I couldn't go far because of pain. I think it's the inner liner that was rubbing. I've worn Keens before; straps but no inner liner. I had to return them.
awesome camp shoes!
I took these backpacking to Pictured Rocks this Spring and they were perfect…especially for walking the beaches and collecting water. Very lightweight and comfy, dried pretty quickly, too! I did not hike in these but for exploring camp, they were awesome!
The wife loves them!!!
Great, if not the best, pair of sandals she has ever had. They stay on in the water.
Summer sandals
I bought the sandals when I saw them on sale for a good price and they looked like what I could use. The size 6 pair I bought fits very snug and nicely (regular shoe size is 6). I have narrow feet so this shoe works well for me. I have worn them on several dog walks. They are very comfortable even in hot weather. I have not tried them in wet conditions. I would recommend these sandals.
Paddle worthy
Right out of the box I took them on a 6 day paddle in Costa Rica! They were perfect! I even went on a pretty strenuous hike in them with no problems! They were the only shoe I wore the whole 6 days!
Please try them on first
I really wanted to love these sandals, but alas, we are incompatible. First the good: these sandals are both attractive and sturdy, an often elusive combo. About the fit, though. I tried using the online tool and it steered me wrong - two sizes too small. After a return (kudos on the efficient exchange) I think I now have the right size, but that little raised star shaped bit on the sole does not hit my foot where the designer intended (unless the designer is a torture expert) so I either walk very slowly or I hobble. I was hoping for a go-to sandal, but I suspect these are going to go-to the back of my closet. If you can find a retailer to try them on first, go for it. Properly fit, they are probably awesome.
So close to five stars
The sandals surprised me in several ways. The fit is narrower than expected so wider feet might have issues, I did not. The sandal is surprisingly comfortable but I am really in between sizes and went with the smaller of the two. The little stars on the footbed are weird at first but after using for a while, I wasn't bothered by them. The one drawback for me are the huge top buckles. If they had a simple hook like at the heel that would slim the profile down a lot and make it better for a paddle boat-personal opinion. Pretty light weight, doesn't hold a lot of rocks or sand, comfortable right out of the box. They do stay wet a while but hey, they are river shoes. I give them a 4.5 stars. Astral just keeps on getting better.
