Astral Men's Loyak Water Shoes Classic Navy 012 - Versatile and Stylish Men's Footwear Review

**Update: They lost their footing in their rush. Not sure if exposure to car oils and such was a factor, but now they look like bars of soap on any *slightly* wet surface. I wear them every day but they retire when I can afford them. Today I almost fell down the stairs, that has never happened to me before. I assume this is because they don't have a real profile to displace water. So when the rubber dries out, traction becomes nil. First review: I needed new minimalist shoes. I walked in…

I've been wearing them to work in place of my extra tuffs for about two weeks now. I really enjoy them. They stay warm when wet and dry quickly. I stepped in ice puddles as winter is just beginning to set in here. Although it's a shock to the system at first, they drain well and stay warm. They're usually dry before I get home and definitely dry the next day. They can also feel the wind blowing through them, which varies a lot, but I like it. As someone with particularly fragrant feet after a…

There are a few other size 14 reviews saying they are too small and that was my experience too. And it was unwearable, never stretched or fitted, insole is too short. I have over 60 pairs of shoes many of which are minimal so I'm good with shoe sizes it's not a 14. Oddly it also says it's 49.25 euros (why does the extra 0.25 on shoes fly so badly? ). but at best 45/46.

Kind of disappointed. The material feels thin and looks cheap. More like a $30 purchase. Expected more for over €100. Thanks for attention!

First, it was too small for my husband's foot size. The top is remarkably thin. It looks like it won't be long. The item has been returned.

I really love these shoes. I bought a pair of burgundies and returned to Revain a few weeks later to find a pair of greens. Each pair came with two sets of laces. One is the same color as the shoes and the other is a complementary color.

I don't think they will suit everyone but I love mine. They were ordered at least a year ago in dark blue and only gray and white. My feet have always needed it. Always had to wear socks because I sweat and otherwise get blisters. Never a problem with that. I wear them without socks 70% of the time and have no complaints. They glide very fast and look very cool. Really grippy bottom and VERY breathable upper. It's also cool that I can wear them with socks and pants and they become normal tennis

Fits well and is comfortable, seems well made but really surprised that the wet grip isn't better. No better maybe even worse than my cheap flip flops walking around in a wet pool considering they are water shoes and they have slits which surprised me a lot.

They seemed very well made but as someone who normally wears a size between 9.5 and 10.5 I found this size 10 very comfortable and didn't want to try to break them in. The soles seemed to have plenty of traction (a must for water shoes) but it also made them very squeaky on polished floors.

These are good shoes, I have another pair in canvas-like material. These are a little tighter than my other pair, but when they look like another pair, which I'm sure when they break, they're amazing. I only took off one star because they are narrower and a bit uncomfortable at first, you only get a size 10 or 11 and a 10.5 would be perfect. If you are not used to this type of shoes, especially without socks, and you have sensitive feet, you may not need them, they are a bit annoying at first…

I mainly used this shoe as a casual shoe for the city. I really liked how light and breathable the shoe was. But understand the purpose of this shoe. It's not designed for whitewater use, but I think it'll still hold up for an average day-long raft trip. This shoe is a stylish take on the water sock boots I wore a lot as a kid. Great option for everyday water use.

I wear 8.5/9. I bought 9. I wish I could buy 9.5. These are stuck. They rub the top of the foot, rub the inside of the foot and remove the skin. After 5 hours of wearing in the water and outdoors, I had to wear socks to ease the pain of the abrasions. Wearing water shoes with socks is wrong. you look cool

The best shoes for rowing if you use them regularly on a lake or river. Whether I'm on a hardboard or an inflatable, I have great grip. Just increase the size if you are a size 1/2.

I love these shoes as casual wear for the office. Super comfy and they pair well with casual work pants. I don't even have to tie my shoelaces, I just put them on and go.

Bought them for a trip to the Mediterranean Sea and rocky beaches, they did great. So comfortable and light you can wear them all day.

Bought these to navigate flat rocky banks and rivers when fishing. It had good support and traction but don't try to walk on rocks with algae or moss as you will still slip. Look for felt-soled shoes if that's your case. But they work great for me.

This is exactly what was advertised and met all expectations. Expensive but very high quality and I hope it lasts a long time.

I spend a lot of time in rivers and lakes with my dog. They offer pretty good traction on slippery river rocks. Slight foot protection but that's an expected compromise for such a light and quick drying platform. You have great socks. The mesh rubs on the tips of my toes with prolonged use, but nothing major for my foot. They are also comfortable for me on short walks.

It was phenomenal. I like that they are made for water because they ventilate my feet well and when my feet sweat they don't smell much and it's easy to clean the shoes, I hosed them down with water.) My recommendation for everyone, them to get, you must take the shoes 1 size larger than the ones you used. (1 size up fits me perfectly.)

They were awesome! Just spent a week at the BWCA and wore them all the time. No sand, no stones, quick drying. So far, so good.
