2016 Footwear Lookbook

2 0 1 6 FOOTWEAR


Founded in 2002, our first products were life jackets that were known to promote calm confidence with rugged dependability in even the most extreme whitewater. In 2012 we started making footwear because, well...sandals are awkward, neoprene booties are toxic, and there was no river shoe with adequate grip, let alone good looks. Our approach to footwear proved successful and now people everywhere love our lightweight, high performance kicks that have crazy grip and play exceptionally well in the water. Our mission is to make gear that elevates human’s experience in Nature, consciously made to preserve pristine soil and clean water. To maintain this focus, Astral remains independently owned and operated.

WATER READY All Astral shoes have a special relationship with water. Every ingredient in our shoes, from the adhesive to the laces, is critically evaluated for its ability to endure constant soaking, resist funk and dry quickly. No rot, no stank, no kidding.

G速 RUBBER Our background as extreme whitewater kayakers gave us an obsessed focus on the grip of footwear; walking on wet rocks above deathly sluices is serious proving ground. nothing was good enough. So we developed a very special rubber that is incredibly sticky, conforms to surfaces, and is non-marking. Choose G.ss (granite grip) if you require a freaky level of stickiness. G.15 (argo, flex and marine grips) provides excellent stickiness with more durability.


BALANCED GEOMETRY We believe that a foot’s position in a shoe should be similar to when barefoot. This promotes excellent balance and a biomechanically natural lifestyle. Our shoes are nearly level (only 1mm drop from heel to toe), provide medium arch support, and allow the toes to spread out.
