Loyak Men's Low Profile Water Shoe Description
A low volume, high performance shoe providing durability, superlative grip, and supreme comfort on water or land. The self-draining, Flex-Grip™outsole promotes excellent balance and ground feel. Indestructible, hydrophobic canvas uppers are securely held to your feet with a stretch mesh tongue and flat laces provide a reliable fit.
FEATURES:
- Flex-Grip Outsoles - This rubber allows excellent flexibility and sensory feedback for heightened grip and balance. Maximized surface area for high friction on smooth surfaces. Divided lugs for substantial grip on loose dirt. Razor Siping maximizes edges that bite into surfaces upon flexion
- Water Ready - All Astral shoes have a special relationship with water. Every component, from the thread to the laces is critically evaluated and chosen for its ability to hold up after constant soaking, shed water and not accumulate funk. Engineered for drainage of water while minimizing entry of silt
- Balanced Geometry - We believe that a foots position in a shoe should be similar to when barefoot. This allows excellent balance and a bio-mechanically natural lifestyle. Footbeds are essentially level (less than 1mm drop from heel to toe) and provide medium arch support. Tapered instep and heel area for better foothold and control. A wide forefoot allows your feet and toes to spread out for stability.
- G15 - The G compound is formulated for premium grip while also providing excellent abrasion resistance. Its low durometer means the rubber is softer and therefore conforms well to the ground.

Astral Loyak
Great water shoes, the size fit the way I expected, and they are very comfortable and VERY light and flexible. I use them for multi day canoe-camping trips with portaging, and while they don't offer any support, their flexibility really allows you to feel the ground beneath your feet and find sure footing. After completely soaking these, they have always been dry the next morning. As an inclosed shoe, they don't dry as fast as sandal type water shoes, but still quite quickly, especially if you take the insole out.
