Astral Loyak Overview
The Astral Loyak is an attractive, comfortable, and foot-friendly shoe that's suitable for a wide range of activities and uses. The conscientiously designed Loyak possesses a level support platform, a highly grippy and flexible rubber sole, and a toe box that allows your toes to splay the way nature intended. This versatile minimalist shoe works well in combination with Correct Toes, Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads, and Naboso insoles.
Astral Loyak shoes are lightweight in their design, have a low overall stack height, and offer you excellent ground feel. These durable vegan shoes can be used in both casual and recreational settings, from outings in urban environments to romps on the trail. Some people use the Loyak as their primary running or walking shoe. Each Astral Loyak shoe weighs about 7.5 oz. The Loyak often fits best without the included (optional) liner.
