Collection: Balanced Geometry

By combining a Level Footbed® with a wide toe box, Balanced Geometry™ respects the foot’s natural position and allows for increased balance and stability. This means more confidence and safety for users navigating variable and consequential terrain under foot.

Astral is proud to incorporate Balanced Geometry™ into every shoe and sandal we make.

Level Footbed®

We are most balanced with our feet flat on the ground. Our Level Footbed® allows the foot to stand, walk and run in a flatter, more balanced position. This design approach, also referred to as ‘zero drop’ allows the body to function in the way it was naturally designed.

Wide Toe Box

Our toes and feet are naturally designed to splay out from side-to-side, providing support and stability to our entire body. Traditional shoe designs prioritize looks over function and compress the toes, which limit their movement and therefore stability. We design our shoes with a wide toe box so your toes can splay naturally.

Balanced Geometry™

Our approach to footwear design was shaped by navigating steep mountain rivers. Imagine walking on wet, oddly shaped boulders with a 50 pound kayak on one shoulder above a dangerous, unrunnable rapid. Simply put, you cannot fall.

By combining a level footbed and wide toe box, every Astral shoe and sandal is designed to provide superior balance and stability with Balanced Geometry™.
