Flip Flops for Any Adventure

Astral released the Filipe men’s flip flops and the Rosa women’s flip flops for the adventurer who also likes to stroll through downtown. These flip flops for women and men provide versatility and performance for any outdoor excursion.

We tested these flip flops while fishing, hiking, and dawdling downtown. We were impressed with their adaptability and performance, but a few things also caught our eye in a negative light. Read on!

What it’s Like to Wear These Astral Flip Flops

First, let’s talk about the bad. But, the good does outweigh the bad.

When you put these flip-flops on, you will notice the tread on the footbed that lines the toes. Astral did this to reduce foot slippage, but I found it slightly annoying because the 3D line never seemed to be in the right place except when standing still.

Second, we noticed that if you are prone to sweaty feet, these flip flops stay wet. The footbed is super waterproof, so it won’t absorb your foot sweat. Sandals like the Teva Mush II Women’s flip flop don’t make your feet feel like they’re sliding around if you are sweating.

Another slightly negative observation is that while walking around in the “relaxed mode,” the flip flops weight seems a bit off balance compared to the thin toe strap. Other flip flops, like the Havaianas Havaianas Men’s Brazil Logo, are much lighter in comparison but not as versatile.

Now for the good.

These Astral flip flops can be quickly converted to escapade sandals

Scrambling to the top of the mountain will be no issue with the Astral Rosa and Filipe flip flops when the Super Strap™ is activated. Turn these casual flip flops into fully functioning strapped sandals in minutes. When the Super Strap is used, these sandals feel like you can sprint up anything.

Unlike in the Teva Mush flip flops for men, there is no need to worry about slippage, as the flip flops conform to the roots and rocks. The Astral Rosa and Filipe flip flops use G.15 Rubber™ + Flex Grip™ outsoles to provide maximum grip, and we will say that they grip the ground super well.

Our favorite part is that there is no need to worry when you’re hiking and have to cross a stream. These Astral flip flops are waterproof and quick-drying. Apart from maybe getting a few branch scratches on your feet, these might be some of the best hiking shoes for wet areas.

Flip Flops Material Putting Nature First

Astral makes quality flip flops with nature’s health put at the forefront

Astral strives to make sustainable outdoor equipment. Their men’s and women’s flip-flops are vegan, sustainably sourced, and made from recycled materials.

The strap material is made from synthetic leather. The strap is waterproof, detailed beautifully, and durable.

The midsole material is made from Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam. EVA foam is a light, shock-absorbing, water-resistant, and stress-cracking rubber that aids in hikes by making the experience more comfortable.

The outsole is made with G.15 Rubber™, a durable and grippy rubber offered by Astral. This outsole elevates these flip flops to your best scrambling buddies. Getting traction will feel effortless as the flip flops conform to the uneven surface you encounter in the forest.

Astral Flip Flops Value Investigated and Refreshing Customer Service

Astral provides high-quality products for nature activities, so it makes sense that the Filipe and Rosa flip flops fall in line. Upon initial intake, the packaging was supreme, and the flip flops were kept in good condition during shipping.

When you pull them out of the box, the look and materials feel top-notch. And, of course, you already know what we think about their performance (excellent).

The best part about the Astral flip flops is that their customer service is transparent and helpful. Astral offers a warranty on all products if the damage is within “ the reasonable lifespan of the product” or if it has a manufacturing defect.

We Recommend these Adventurous, Durable, Versatile Flip Flops

As someone who enjoys good flip flops, these got me buzzing. I am always up for a lazy walk through town, and the Rosa flip flops gave me a great tempo. But I also wore them fishing and hiking and found I absolutely loved them when the Super Strap™ was engaged.

If you want something that can give you versatility in movement, the Rosa and Filipe flip flops supply just that. They are waterproof, grippy, and durable.

Critiquing these flip flops is difficult. But we looked deep and noticed the weight compared to the strap, how sweaty feet can slide around, and the toe pattern on the footbed, which was annoying sometimes. However, the pros do outweigh any cons the Astral flip flops have.
