Why We Like The Astral Loyak Water Shoe
The Astral Loyak Water Shoe provides the right mix of grip, flexibility, and durability we need when guiding raft trips or kayaking technical rivers. The stitched Cordura upper is highly abrasion-resistant for durability, yet also breathable and quick-drying. The upper is also attached directly to the rubber outsole for a low-profile fit and enhanced feel underfoot. G.15 rubber helps us maintain our footing on slippery river beds and slick rocks, and flex grooves allow our foot to flex naturally.

I purchased these and a pair of the Hemp Loyak shoes. Both fit identical in terms of how your feet feel inside the shoe, but the opening and tongue of these water shoes provide a tight opening. Once your foot is in, the fit and feel is great, no rubbing, and the tight opening does not produce any rubbing or discomfort when in use. Removing your feet is easy, though. Long term concern is potential tearing of the material as I get my feet in. But other than that, they look and feel great. I love the look, they go great with a variety of pants and shorts. They seem durable other than my concern of the tight foot opening. Even though they are accurately listed as water shoes, they have a look that allows them to be used as every day shoes. I was concerned that the material might have had a plastic look, but that isn’t the case and they very much have the same look as the Hemp Loyak shoes. I take a size 9 to a size 10 depending on the manufacture. With these fitting at a size 10, I feel they are true to size. I would buy these again. Standard shipping was incredibly quick and arrived before the expected date.

I wear the Loyak shoe when I'm whitewater kayaking and absolutely love them. I have also worn them on the beach and at the lake on the boat. They have stood up to a good amount of abuse and drain really well. I wear a size 9.5 in most shoes (Nike, Altra, etc.) and the size 9 in the Loyak fits fine.

Nice shoe

I was looking for a casual shoe for kicking around the metroparks, shoe looks great but I struggled to get my feet in. Very snug fit through the vamp of the shoe, wore them for 10 minutes in the house and my foot starting going numb. The forefoot is nice and wide, however my wide feet must be the culprit.

I wore these on a 3 day hike through a river and they were the best shoes in the group. They sit tight on your ankle so sand and rocks can't get in. They are comfortable and drain water well. I wore them with socks given the amount of distane I was walking.

Excellent All Purpose Shoe
I've worn many different water shoes over the years and this by far is the best. It works well in the water or as a casual shoe with or without socks. It's sole provides great traction on slippery surfaces and the shoe itself provides protection for the foot. The shoe washes up great and dries quickly. Highly recommended!
Do you have a question about this product?

I'm looking for a good wet wader that will hold up while I'm fishing streams. Are these tough enough to handle hours in rocky bottomed water? How well do they keep gravel out, it gets old taking does of to dump rocks at every gravel bar.
