Great shoes. Too small.

These are well made shoes. However, the size differs by about 1 size. I wear a 9.5 so I bought a 9.5 which was too small. They fit more like an 8.5 so I had to send them back. 10.5 fits perfectly.

Pros
  • The best footwear. The second pair I bought.
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with high arches

Do not buy! In my opinion

This is my second pair of these shoes but this will be my last! The first pair has worn out over the years. These new shoes are so low that my heels slip out of my shoes when I walk.

Pros
  • Great shoes
Cons
  • Not as durable as other brands

Uncomfortable and unsupported

Great looking water shoes. Very uncomfortable but true to size. After wearing it several times, there is no more support and parts of the shoe dig into the foot. I will not buy again.

Pros
  • These shoes work well for their intended purpose, they hold up well in the water and while boating
Cons
  • Just very simple shoes. The quality is normal to good. Not worth $100

good shoes for water if they were big sizes

comfortable shoes to an extent, but why doesn't anyone make oversized shoes for the water? It would be very comfortable if they weren't too tight for my foot. Please bring the width!

Pros
  • Ideal for paddling. Water flows well, grippy, stabilizes the foot on the board. Easy to wash, dries quickly!
Cons
  • Can be uncomfortable with prolonged use

Excellent quality shoes in my review

My second pair of Astrals, I have a pair for kayaking that I liked so much I decided to just buy them for everyday footwear. Good taste. Clean and really comfortable. I have wide feet and this is one of the first pairs of shoes that fit really well without buckling in the sides of my legs.

Pros
  • use it for snorkeling and kite surfing - protects my feet from previous injuries - love them!
Cons
  • Cannot be used for long-distance travel.

Nice shoe, but the width is VERY small

I had to return this shoe as the width was too narrow, especially just behind the toes. It was so far from how my medium size 11 shoes normally fit that at first I thought it was the wrong size, but the tag is 11-M for men. I suspect the style just doesn't suit my foot.

Pros
  • This shoe is comfortable in every way. I'm in construction and use it for everyday use.
Cons
  • The color in the picture does not match the actual color of the shoes. It's dark blue and orange

Too tight for me.

If you have a wide foot they may not fit you. I've tried breaking them in but they are tight in the forefoot and my feet are going to hurt after a few hours. They are very minimalistic and the quick drying material is amazing. They are super light. Too bad they don't fit my foot shape.

Pros
  • Extremely comfortable and really take over the boat deck! I bought 4 pairs!!!
Cons
  • Cannot be used to run

I love these shoes in my review

I love these shoes. I use them everyday for the summer. I hate wearing socks in the summer, they dry quickly and thankfully don't smell. I've been wearing them every day for about a month now. The insole is sewn into the shoe, it's wonderful. I've used them as a replacement for boat shoes, which I also liked, but the sole will eventually come off if you wear them barefoot. I would even pay more for it now that I have it. I came here to find a second pair of this brand, saw my shoes and decided…

Pros
  • The materials used in the construction of these shoes dry quickly, making them ideal for water sports and wet environments.
Cons
  • Limited breathability

Good summer shoes are the best in my rating

Shoes fit well (9), light, comfortable, breathable enough, look good. I use them for fly fishing and also occasionally. So far, so good. However, they are better suited to slippery rocks than most rubber soles, but not ideal. Would buy again

Pros
  • Fit, Comfort, Support, Trail to Water to Trail
Cons
  • May cause foot odor through contact with water

Rough padding. Unfavorable.

If someone says these are great shoes for comfort they are lying about the salary. 100,000% your legs will hate you for the rest of this life and then some.

Pros
  • Great work Astral! Dries fast and has grip!
Cons
  • Too expensive for this quality

Nice boat but runs small

I had to return the first pair and order half a size up to fit. Another minor annoyance is that the online image of the shoe (in storm gray) doesn't look like the real shoe. They're really good pumps though and I'll probably get another pair when they wear out.

Pros
  • These sneakers have a minimalist design that makes them perfect for any outfit.
Cons
  • Can cause discomfort on long journeys.

These shoes are amazing!

Bought this shoe for rafting/canyoning/hiking in Utah. These shoes do everything! They have enough grip to get you safely through canyons, and they drain water so efficiently that you can take them with you as you "float" down Colorado rapids. They dry quickly, offer amazing support and protection and are very well made! I will definitely be buying more Astrals! By the way, I showed these shoes to my travel buddy, he liked them and he chose the version with boots because of his bad ankles. He…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Low

Nice next iteration of the brewer.

Really good, but why do these shoes have laces these days? I replaced them with quick laces and I like them better because I can put them on and take them off. Also, the outsole is a bit thin (better than the original Brewers, but still thin) so you have to be careful not to damage the arch on rocky surfaces.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • badly thought out
