The most versatile shoes in my closet
Super comfortable, with or without socks. Versatile: dressy enough to wear with slacks, or I can go for a short run in them.

Best Shoes Ever
These are the best shoes I have ever worn. First day of breaking them was in San Francisco with no socks. We walked over 6 miles and I was so comfortable all day. Also took them on a 10 day Grand Canyon river trip with lots of hiking and had 0 issues. They're super grippy.

A beautiful shoe
Have previously owned and loved both the previous generation Brewer and the TR1 Mesh the 3.0 feels like a very happy middle ground between the two and is easily the most pleasant to look at. The brewer is about as durable as a water shoe can be while also being incredibly comfortable. I’m not sure if the fabric is anti microbial but I still wash them out after every trip down the river to prevent foot rot/tolio and have managed another season of intact feet!

Great Barrier Reef
Honestly, I haven’t fully worn them yet. Tried them on at home and the fit, look and material are amazing. I bought them for a dream trip to the Great Barrier Reef coming up. Big boat, on and off with jet ski, jet boat, hard bottom inflatable, kayaks, snorkeling etc. if there’s a better shoe for this let me know!

Great all around shoe
So far so good, these shoes feel good and look good. Many compliments from other people too. Comfortable out of the box, Feels like you’re wearing nothing, but has a solid sole.

Good fit. Slow to dry
The shoes fit well and the extra large toe box is appreciated. The tread provides a secure grip as described. However, as water shoes, they take an extremely long time to dry. Three days and the tongue and collar are still wet. My wife’s Loyaks dried relatively quickly.

super comfortable
These shoes are so comfortable, and they look great. I have had lots of sandals and water shoes and nothing compares to the protection and comfort of brewers.

Good enough
I love the wider toe box and the fit. The improvements for 3.0 are great and I’m thankful for what has been done. For some reasons, the rubber does not seem to be gripping well in places I’ve never questioned my footing. I’ve attempted to scuff up the rubber to see if there was some kind of seal on them, but they still make me feel like I’m ice skating sometimes. YMMV.

This shoe is such a staple for my warmer weather padding. Easy on and off with reliable grip. Go get you some.

Tongue loop broke too quickly.
Loop on the tongue fell apart in less than 2 months of very little use. I’ve owned about a dozen Astral’s in the past and enjoyed them, but was disappointed when they broke so quickly. I requested an exchange past the return date so hopefully Astral comes through. Hoping it was just a one off in manufacturing and not the quality going down.
