Bought the Nosobo a couple of weeks ago to use primarily as a light hiker in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I've always been a fan of low top hiking shoes, especially those that are light and fast. These shoes will replace my old Topo trail shoes which were functionally fine, but had started to wear and compress. I am extremely excited about the option to "recharge" the midsole when starts to it packs down so that I can hopefully get some extra miles out of these Nosobos. I also really appreciate the extra width, especially in the toe box. Step in comfort is an absolute dream. My only feedback is I wish there were more color options.
Terrible design with cheap feeling materials. Very narrow toe box. Felt like my toes were in a strait jacket pushed up against one another. The sole feels like a rubbery Birkenstock. And not in a good way. I wouldn’t hike in these much more walk around the block.
Great quality shoes. I have worn Astral for a long time and was excited to see these for walking longer distances. This shoe has a much wider front end than most Astrals I've worn-these look similar to Altra or Topo. The removable yellow insert is a great idea. The wavy footbed texture took about an hour to get used to. Now I feel the bounciness of the EVA which is a cool feeling. I took them on a 12 mile hike last weekend and they felt springy and gripped really well. I always wear 9s and these fit true. If I was going a long way I'd size up half sizeI think! Stoked to see how they hold up.
Loving this shoe because finally my toes don't touch the front. You can tell by the top-down view that these shoes are shaped like a human foot. They also seem very durable. That durability brings some extra weight, but it is worth it. The grip matches what I've come to expect from Astral rubber, and the tread pattern works great. I'm hopeful that Astral solved the durability bug with this one, and might have even changed the game for extending the life of long distance hiking shoes.
