Astral TR1 Trek review

Who should buy the Astral TR1 Trek

The Astral TR1 Trek achieves a good stature with all its myriad outdoor-centric traits. It is a solid option if you:

• Prefer a hiking shoe that is designed to help outdoor enthusiasts take on technically challenging trails and canyoning adventures. 
• Prefer a hiking shoe that gives it an edge in wet environments by proactively shedding most types of watery elements.
• Prefer a hiking shoe that provides terrain protection and security.

Excellent grip on tricky backcountry surfaces

Granting wearers the right amount of grip on tricky backcountry surfaces is the TR1 Trek’s non-marking G.15 outsole. Its aggressive lugs, with a depth of 5 mm, get to claw into soft-soiled terrain, delivering ample slip and skid resistance in virtually every angle.

Provides protection against bumps and knocks

Its front end covers the tip of the footgear, providing users with extra protection against bumps and knocks.

Comfortable underfoot cushioning

This Astral hiker gives users underfoot cushioning and stability with its extra-stout midsole. It has quite the level construction from heel to ball, providing wearers with a more balanced experience on the trail. 

Reduces foot fatigue

Since it is embedded with a company-owned technology called Top Shank, this chunky platform is capable of reducing foot fatigue.

Provides odor control 

A removable insert sits atop the shoe’s midsole for additional comfort underfoot. It can fight off and prevent stink as it is imbued with Polygiene’s odor control technology.

Sturdy and supportive

The TR1 Trek’s upper is made chiefly of hydrophobic canvas textile. It has sturdy TPU overlays and a supportive EVA heel cup.

Easy to wear

Its closure system uses synthetic laces and combination eyelets most of which are D-rings made of brass. On its heel is a pull loop for quicker on and off.
