The PFD Sandal™ combines the secure and adjustable fit of Astral’s award-winning life jackets with the Balanced Geometry™ and legendary G Rubber™ grip of our world renowned Loyak™ water shoes. A purpose-built Thwart Pad provides comfort while wedging under raft thwarts, and allows the PFD Sandal™ to be cinched tight to run, jump, swim and climb in and around the river.

G.SS RUBBER™

Super sticky G.ss Rubber™ + Flex Grip™ outsoles adhere to wet and dry rock like glue. Non-marking.

BALANCED GEOMETRY™

Zero drop, Level Footbed® + a wider toe box respects your foot's natural position while increasing balance and stability.

Stoked on these sandals. I truly think that I've worn them every day since I've gotten them. I've pressure tested them from a raft, walking my dog through the river, and even a weekend's worth of non-stop travel from Bozeman to O'hare and back again under 48 hours and a wedding! They dry fast, they are the most comfortable sandal I've ever owned, and they were faithful companions on an unexpected class III/IV swim recently! I'm not a fan, I'm a PFD Sandal Evangalist.
