Astral Men's Brewer 2.0 Everyday Minimalist Outdoor Sneakers, Grippy and Quick Drying, Made for Water Sports, Travel, and Rock Scrambling

I'm a fan of Astral products. I have Astral dog life jackets and an Astral PFD. Super happy with them. When a friend showed off her water shoes, I had to have them.I've been wearing NRS water boots, but they are rather hot during the summer and they hold water. I don't love sloshing around in them.These are great. Well-made; fit great; super comfortable; light; dry fast. Best part, maybe... they have drain holes. No sloshing.They do stay wet, of course, but they don't fill with water and stay that way. I absolutely love that.These are great shoes. Buy them. You won't be disappointed.Oh, btw, I wear a men's 9 and found these to be true to size.

Have been a long time Keen Newport person having bought my first pair around 20 years ago and wore them until they fell apart. Replacement pair lasted almost as long. 3rd pair lasted only one summer before they were falling apart. Their quality has really gone down.I replaced them with some Merrels and I absolutely hated them. Suffered through all last summer but after wearing them a time or two this summer and being miserable decided to make the switch.I have an Astral PFD that is awesome so I decided to give the shoes a try and let me tell you it was the best decision I ever made. Extremely comfortable shoes in and out of the water. Excellent grip on slick rocks in the river. Maybe the only complaint I have is sand can get into the shoe but that’s really about it. These shoes completely changed my life. Ok, not really, but they do make me happy and I would get another pair with no hesitation.

The only shoes I brought for two days in Aguas Calientes. They worked great in the hot springs and the slippery rocks up to Machu Pichu. They are very much not hiking shoes though, my mistake. Great water shoes. Don't hike Machu Pichu in them though. To their credit they did hold together after two days on the trail. My knees and ankles, not so much.

I absolutely love these shoes. I live in SW Florida and these shoes are the best for hot days as they do not require you to wear socks and you never know when you might get in the water, but also don't make your feet or shoes stinky when doing so. Other perks are they are super lightweight and the sole is very durable. I am a bit of a foot dragger so I wear out the back of soles fairly quickly normally. They are also stylistic which is a bonus. I actually bought a backup pair as I love the look of them so much and I am sure by the time my current ones, which I bought many months ago, this particular style will no longer be available. Dries quickly as well.

Great shoe for hiking and water sports. It's a very lightweight shoe and the rubber sole grips really well, wet or dry. I recently wore these in Colorado (hiking, biking, and a rafting trip) and they were excellent. I didn't experience the problems other reviewers mentioned with smells after being in the water, and I really liked how the shoes dried overnight indoors. The fast drying time made them easy to clean and be ready for the next day. The shoe is comfortable, but I'd recommend wearing them a while to break them in before spending several hours in them. The quality construction and material give me the impression that these shoes will last a long time.

I'm an avid kayaker on flatwater, rivers, touring and coastal. I wanted a water shoe that was an actual shoe, with a decent arch support and a strong enough sole that I could walk on rocks without feeling like I was almost barefoot. The Astral Brewer was exactly that. It's good looking, confortable, durable, quick drying, lightweight yet substantial, and gives my feet the grip and protection I need when I get out of the boat. Do be sure to wash them and then dry them in the sun after use. People who complain about them getting smelly over time aren't washing them and drying them properly. I replaced the standard laces lock-laces to minimize entanglement risks and to keep from worrying about them coming untied. I definitely recommend these and/or the Astral Rasslers.

It’s not really fair to write a review since I wasn’t able to actually wear them, but I thought it would be useful to share that they fit very narrow. I have wide feet but not so wide that I require special wide shoes and it was like I couldn’t even get into the shoes. Looked cool. Lightweight. Grippy. Seemed promising.

This is an OK shoe. I just wish that it dried a little bit faster they’re comfortable.
