Astral Filipe Sandal

Active Junky’s vetted Astral as a legitimate contributor to the life aquatic. Other footwear models from the brand have followed the testing team around the American west as well as South America. This new slide + strap sandal contributes both to life on the water and off. Rather than take two sandals on trips, the strap attaches when extended walking is the plan – or taking to the water is on the agenda. Testers acknowledged the merits of the base sandal as the zoned insole combines walking comfort with insole support. And the synthetic leather upper carries a sense of style while being wide enough to prevent excessive abrasion. For most scenarios, the siped outsole is plausible, traction-wise. The 15mm polyester removable ankle and forefoot strap is best for on-water security as Active Junky found it to be bothersome underfoot in other settings
