Astral TR1 Mesh review

Who should buy Astral TR1 Mesh 

For users who are expecting to submerge their feet on the trail, the Astral TR1 Mesh is recommended. Purchase this amphibious shoe if:

• You are a light hiker
• A lightweight option is preferred
• The user needs a shoe for summer hikes
• You need the ankle mobility delivered by a low-top shoe

Astral's high-friction outsole

To give the TR1 Mesh a grippy sole, Astral designers equipped it with the brand’s patented rubber compound, the G.15. This high-friction rubber is abrasion resistant and employs 5 mm deep lugs to bite on most terrain. It is made softer to increase ground sensitivity.

Fatigue-reducing cushioning

A cushioned EVA midsole with Top Shank helps reduce fatigue. It is designed with only a 1 mm drop from heel to ball to promote balance and natural biomechanics of the foot.

The midsole works with an EVA heel cup and a removable insole treated with Polygiene. This treatment renders an odor-free environment as it prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

Astral TR1 Mesh's lightweight materials

The upper of this low-cut hiking shoe uses a ripstop 2D mesh. This material enables quick-drying of the TR1 Mesh after getting soaked in water. Likewise, it maximizes ventilation.

Forefoot protection

A TPU toe and heel cap are added to protect the foot while a heel tab assists in on and off.

Astral TR1 Mesh's water-ready upper

Drainage is placed at the toes to facilitate water removal while preventing entry of silts.
