Rassler 2.0 Water Shoe
Designed with whitewater enthusiasts in mind, the Astral Buoyancy Rassler Water Shoe is built to handle the roughest trails and bushwhacks in pursuit of the best creeks and drops out there. With a high friction rubber sole, the Rassler will wrestle with the slickest surfaces to keep you on your feet and will still bite in when you're carrying your boat up dry granite boulders alongside the creek. Drainage ports in the midsole drain water quickly, while TPU reinforcements at the toe and heel keep the shoes intact when dealing with rough terrain.

Amazing products!!
Took a minute to break into my feet. Once they were it was hard for me to take them off, they are more comfortable than my house slippers

Great for water and land
good looking shoe, rugged, comfortable on land and water. I especially like the higher profile ankle to reduce filling up with sand when i hit the beach

Legit Shoes
Great river shoes! Just broke them in on a shallow sandy river. Grip well on stone. Lightweight even when wet. Clean up easily. Definitely recommend for serious river use and around town. Great shoe!

COSTA RICA RASSLERS
Had a trip to Costa Rica and was lookijg for the right shoe for me to fish off a boat,walk the streets, hike the jungle, do waterfall tours, walk the beaches and fish and everything in between. These definitely did the trick!! Very comfortable and protective at the same time. Quick drying , and durable! I was very impressed

review from a professional rafting guide
So this is my 3ird pair of Astral Shoes. I had first the TR1 mesh, then went with the brewer. This time I wanted a more protective shoe for walking in rivers as a rafting guide. This shoe deliverd. Comfy and just high enough in the back to stay on the foot and protect the sensitive part. But, to me it feels the sole is different from the 2 others model. It feels that it's slipping more. The ohers thing is like the others shoes, they don't last. not even half a season before i can see it start to brake aways. I like the warranty service but sorry Astral it's not in my value to buy a new pair of shoe each season.

Functional and stylish shoes
Like every pair of Astral shoes I've owned, these are made well with great materials. The soles are nice and sticky and this plus the ability to lace them up higher than other water shoes gives me a lot of confidence moving on wet rocks. The high-top with low-cut back is a great combination that makes a lot of sense on the water/in a boat. These are comfortable, and look great too. The biggest thing I needed to get used to was the volume - these are kinda "tight" at first. It makes a lot of sense because you don't want a loose, sloppy shoe where you foot rolls around inside when you're trying to squeeze them into a boat, or scramble around the river. It's not uncomfortable, but worth trying on for fit before you buy; this might feel different than other Astral's you've tried in the past. All in all, GREAT shoes and would recommend for a variety of uses.
