Astral Loyak Women’s - Review 2023

These water shoes for women from Astral have a versatile look that can transition from canoeing and fording rivers to rainy downtown walks. The Loyak is not your typical water sock-like water shoe option. It has a loafer look (plus an extra set of laces) and durable construction.

The Astral Loyak is slip-on, with a fixed opening, which makes it challenging to put on for those with high arches. You can tighten the shoe up with the laces, but there isn’t much give taking them on and off.

Its G.15™ Flex-Grip outsole doesn’t leave marks and provides a reliable grip over wet rocks and slick banks. The outsole thickness is just enough to cushion you from sharp rocks while still giving you a strong feeling of the ground to establish your footing.

Drain holes help the Astral Loyak dry quickly, but on the same note, they also serve as entry points for grit and sand. You will have to deal with debris from time to time. These water shoes for women also have a roomy toe box, an ideal choice for those with wide feet. It securely covers the whole foot, adding stability to your strides.

Now, if you have narrow feet, we recommend you get a size down for a snug fit.

Overall, it’s cute, comfortable, packable, and comes with excellent traction. Use it for white water adventures, while kayaking, or even a short wet hike. The Astral Loyak Women’s Water Shoes are a well-rounded option with a few limitations worth the trade-off for those who like the look and want a versatile water shoe that will work running into shops on rainy days along with chasing your kids at the water park.
