TR1 Mesh 2.0 Water Shoe

Performance and Comfort

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I took these TR1 Mesh 2.0 Water Shoe fresh out of the box on a Rafting Trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho with Oars. They performed in the water as expected and I took several hikes of up to 5 miles on rugged steep terrain and they provided great traction on the dry as well. They were wet for 6 days in a row from the white water, rain and cool nights and they got a little stinky at the end. I popped them in the washing machine when I got home and now they are looking and smelling mostly like new. I normally wear an 11.5 in running shoes which is the size I bought and I was able to wear them with and without my neoprene socks while wading in the shallows. They may be the most comfortable shoes that I own.

Good all around hiking shoe!

Loved these shoes! Not too narrow and held up to an insane amount of abuse. Very breathable and comfortable which was great for our hikes in guatemala and for drying quickly after jumping in the river and lake. Had fantastic traction even when wet.

Love these shoes!!

These are great trail shoes!! I love to hike in and out of rivers, and these are amazing shoes for that. They drain and dry very quick!

Enough room

So comfortable and room in the toe box i actually use my inserts in them

Great travel / everything shoe

Size Bought:

Backcountry

I bought the shoe to travel where I might be walking on wet trails or all day city tours. They are great. Several all day tours and many walks on wet slippery and sometimes jagged rocks. It has been hot and they breath really well. My feet are happy

I love my Astrals!!!

The TR1 Mesh 2.0 trail shoes are high performance, incredibly versatile shoes. I've worn them on technical terrain, through streams and as an everyday shoe that matches my neutral aesthetic very well. I'm astounded at how quickly they dry and how comfortable I am hiking in them just after wading through a stream. The wide toe box, breathable mesh, and soft, supportive midsole are very comfortable too. They excel across diverse terrain and conditions while respecting both my feet and the environment (recycled materials)!

Comfortable but wear out fast

Comfortable but wear out fast. I've had the earlier models that last several months. This pair look worn after just several weeks.

My Go to Shoe For Comfort and Versatility.

I absolutely love my Astral TR1 Mesh 2.0! From the first hike to everyday errands, these shoes have quickly become my go-to for comfort and versatility. The breathable mesh keeps my feet cool and dry, even after splashing through streams or sweating on a long trail. I appreciate the wide toe box and zero-drop design—they feel natural and stable, whether I’m scrambling over rocks or walking around town. Plus, the grippy outsole gives me confidence on slippery surfaces.

N A R R O W

Well made, light weight, good cushioning, nice laminations at the toe and heel, thin sock liner but well contoured, nicely cushioned tongue, lain system holds the shoe on your door, drainage is very good, drain holes at the toe are very good. THE SHOE IS WAY TOO NARROW. THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WITH SKINNY FEET. THE TOE BOX IS INDEED SQUARE BUT PROVIDES VERY LITTLE ROOM BECUSE THE ENTIRE SHOE IS VERY NARROW. CAN ONLY BE WORN BAREFOOT --- NO CHANCE OF HAVING A NEOPRENE SOX.

A Very Comfortable Hiking Shoe

Great shoe..! First Day 4 hour hike through Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Over Dirt, Rocks, & Roots - A Very Comfortable Hiking Shoe... When I first began hiking I was happy with the comfort of each step, After that initial impression I didn't even think about them being on my feet. I can not ask for more than that.
