Review on Astral Loyak Barefoot Outdoor Travel by Karl Swift

These shoes are almost impossible to put on!

So I needed a pair of lightweight boat boots this summer. I've always worn Sperrys, but lately they only seem to last a month or two before disappearing and falling apart. very light and comes with 2 sets of laces. Trouble is, I can't get into these damn things. They're designed like slip-ons, but the material doesn't stretch. I checked the tag to make sure they are true to size (FYI: made in Vietnam). After about 10 minutes of struggling I was finally able to put them on and they looked great. Very convenient. I decided to wear them to work the next day and in the morning I started fighting them again. Once upon a time they were fine. At the end of the day I noticed that the seam on the inside of each shoe was rubbing against the sores on my feet. A painful waste of $80.

Pros
  • BALANCE SENSITIVITY: A flat footbed and wider toe box promote natural foot placement for improved balance and control; Super light design allows freedom of movement (0.46 lbs/shoe)
Cons
  • So So
