Who should buy the Astral Filipe

Hikers who have sandals listed at the top of their to-bring list had better pay attention to what the Astral Filipe has to offer. It is a solid option if you:

  • Prefer hiking sandals that provide quality comfort and performance whether on trails or city pavements.
  • Look for a hiking sandal that has a removable ankle strap that, when taken out, transforms the lightweight sandal into a flip-flop.
  • Need a hiking sandal that makes adventuring over rough terrain comfortable and secure.

Offers adequate sticking power 

Astral Filipe is equipped with a company-exclusive outsole that delivers surface traction. Based on the G.15 compound, this non-marking component offers adequate sticking power with the help of its blocky protrusions (a.k.a lugs).
