Slim enough to shove in a kayak but sleek enough to wear around town, Astral’s new Loyak is a cross between a minimalist running shoe and a slipper. Discrete drainage holes in the heel and toe make the Loyak a good boating shoe that still looks good on the street, in keeping with the 2015 trend of performance footwear with a casual style. Check out Astral’s new Hiyak for a similar look in more supportive boot-style high tops.
