Astral shoes series#

They look like streetwear high-tops, but these shoes are built for water. It also has hydrophobic canvas/mesh, and draining midsoles. In terms of water readiness, the TR1вЂ™s received the stink-free treatment with Polygiene treated insoles. By giving users an extra 1mm in the heel, Astral aims to extend the life of their footwear. They noticed the heel often wears down quicker than the forefoot on a shoe. Upon asking why Astral opted for a 1mm drop instead of a zero drop platform, I was told Astral wanted to promote more efficient biomechanics with the near zero drop platform. The tacky outsole is studded with 5mm lugs and totes a 1mm drop from heel to forefront, 21mm heel вЂ“ 20mm ball. The build on each model remains similar among each offering. The Trek and Junction are a couple ounces heavier and built with AstralвЂ™s burly hydrophobic canvas. The TR1 Mesh is light (9.87oz) is made of ripstop nylon mesh. The whole TR1 line is designed around four fundamental aspects вЂ“ balanced geometry, cushioned support, sticky G Rubber outsole, and water readiness.

I personally beat the you-know-what out of the Mesh model and comfortably stand here today to relay my findings.
