Astral Loyak Review/Best Water Shoe/Best Barefoot Water Shoe
We think Astral has nailed the water shoe category with their popular Loyak, but how well did they nail the barefoot attributes it's marketed with? A shoe we've been dying to try out for quite some time now, we were excited to get it on our feet and out on the water with us this summer, and now we're excited to tell you all if it lives up to they hype or not. Time stamps below! Also, big shout out to Retrospec for sending us a couple of their awesome paddle boards, we're riding the Weekender and Weekender Plus in this video, you should definitely go check them out, affiliate link below.

      These are outdated as far as Splays lineup goes right now. They do still sell them, but they're all factory seconds (small imperfections) with limited sizes. There is a white leather with a gum sole however. We've never been able to try Origo, so we can't compare there, but so far they've held up just as well as my Feelgrounds high-rise Courtsides, big difference there is Feelgrounds has side stitching between the outsole and upper while Splay doesn't. Feelgrounds doesn't use real leather while Splay does, and Splays toe box is noticeably wider than Feelgrounds are. Splay run narrower in the mid foot, but they both feel pretty similar underfoot as far as shoe flex and ground feel goes. Hope this helps!

    Something that's never mentioned is that the midsole in the primal 3 has an added layer of foam just like the primal zen. The primal 2 only had canvas over the outsole. For me the canvas provides a much longer lifespan for the shoe when since I don't use the insole. On my primal zen the foam gets torn up and ruins the comfort of the shoe.

    I don't have a pair of these shoes but based off of what I'm seeing from your video and their online information, the shoe looks like it's 99% of what I'm looking for. I would not consider myself a barefoot enthusiast. I want a wide toe box, zero drop shoe that is durable and looks good. I don't care for a super thin flexible sole for "ground feel." I'm mainly just sick of traditional shoes cramming my toes together. So for someone like me, these shoes seem to be absolutely fantastic. The reason these don't hit 100% ideal for me is that I'm not a huge fan of bright white. It's too loud for my taste and gets dirty super easy. I prefer slightly off white. Otherwise, excellent video!

They ignored all emails and direct messages and BLOCKED me on all social media from being able to spread information about their unethical business practices. I also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about this so that's currently pending. To add insult to injury, I attempted to leave a review about those shoes on the company's website and they blocked them from being posted!! That also led to me filing a formal complaint with Shopify for the same issues. Notorious Lift is by far the worst in the business.

      @@sonsofsever in Spain there is a shoe brand called “Camper” which makes super high quality shoes (some of them barefoot like) made of leather in Spain with super beautiful designs for about 150 - 200US$. It is insane that people in the US pay 150 - 200US$ for shoes coming from China made of plastic which btw some of them have quite horrible designs. Another brand in Spain is “Zapato Feroz”, their barefoot shoes are made in Portugal with high quality leather, amazing designs under 100 Euros.

      I didn't ever have it on wet concrete, but it handled ice and wet rocks just about as well as you'd expect a boot to. I think the lug pattern is definitely better suited for soft ground than hard wet surfaces

      I'd say medium thickness for a barefoot shoe. Can't remember the exact numbers but it's around 10mm or so. There are many barefoot shoes at 5mm, so this has a little less ground feel and flex than some
