We got started making shoes for kayakers who were scrambling around on wet boulders in deep river canyons. To perform in this intense environment, we made our shoes balanced from heel to ball, incredibly grippy, extremely light, and always ready for water.

v
We found that these same elements provide a unique performance advantage on the steep trails into and out of wilderness rivers. It occurred to us that with a few tweaks, our fundamental approach to footwear could form the basis for a new generation of trail shoes.

We’ve “Astral-ized” the beloved flip-flop. Meet Filipe and Rosa. We use sticky G® Rubber on outsole and footbed to seriously reduce foot slippage. They instantly convert into a “sandal” (that’s crazy!!) via a simple accessory strap. Hike, swim, climb a dune, run around, whatever! We think this is the ultimate flip-flop.
The Super Strap! Put it on when you’re headed down river or up a trail. Take it off for the easy days in-between.

The Hiyak is 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.
Our pro kayak and fishing teams love the Rassler for its lightweight design and increased support. They dry fast and the grip on wet rocks is insane. Uniquely… when you’ve had enough of life in the woods, you can wear them to town with style. Giddy up boys and girls.
