Filipe

BEST SANDAL EVER

June 18, 2018

Best sandal I have ever owned. Perfect for rafting, kayaking, hiking and everyday wear. I wear these everyday and everywhere. I prefer these over shoes now and have done a 13 mile hike/climb in the desert and my feet did not hurt.

The ultimate flip flop for adventure!

April 16, 2018

I've had every type of sandal (keens, chacos, eccos, etc), and I feel like these outperform them all when it comes to weight/performance and easy of use. With the simple strap in place you can pretty much do anything in these. I've been hiking, swimming, beach, river, paddle boarding, etc and they are very secure, have amazing grip, and the rubber is very durable and a breeze to clean. The only downside is the strap can be a little tricky to keep straight when putting on (to avoid twists) but once you get a hang of it its pretty quick on/off. I love the open feel of a flip flop so adding the additional secure strap with so little extra bulk is awesome. And, stylish to boot! Well worth the cost, highly recommended.

Great for Miles of... Disney World!

February 26, 2018

I got the TR1 Junction M for hiking, but found it equally perfect for the miles and miles walked at Disney World - with the proverbial 4-Day Hopper pass. The shoes are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to put on and off. The real benefit was that I never gave feet another thought while wearing them, whether walking around Epcot or standing in the Pandora line for 3-1/2 hours While I know these are hiking shoes, they are equally great as walking shoes!

unique design and comfort

September 12, 2017

I love flip flops, but they don't necessarily do feet good. This unique design combines flip flops with sandals. Comfortable footbed, non-irritating straps, super grippy...i love these things!

Best flip on the market

September 07, 2017

Chaco shot themselves in the foot by discontinuing the Virbram sole on their flip-flops. That unfortunate fact put me in the market of a new standby flip and boy did I find it. A Grand trip, three Middle Forks and countless trips to the local brewery have me fully convinced that these sandals are the only game in town for those of us that live and work in flip-flops.

Runs small

Filipe is a success

July 26, 2017

Filipe is a great sandal. They are much more comfortable than my old expensive flips. They are really comfortable; I didn't think that I would like the straps but they are comfortable, easy to get on and adjust. Being a Altra Running shoe convert to the wide toe box/zero drop shoes I am looking forward to trying out the Astral water shoes as well.

Awesome flip flop, even better customer service.

July 23, 2017

I have had this pair of flip flops for a little over a year, and wore them everywhere. Super sticky rubber with a comfy fit made me not want to take them off. I love them!. However I did have one of them break recently after a year, and so I sent an email to Astral customer service to see what my options were, ready to buy a new pair. Ellen from Astral emailed me back that same day and sent me a brand new pair within the week. Back to wearing them all the time. Great shoe, unbeatable customer service!

FINALLY

June 05, 2017

Do you know how long I have been waiting for a flip flop with a back strap? My 4 year old can have a pair but why not me? Thank you for creating this. I have planterflaciatis and flip flops have always killed my feet, not with these! Best purchase ever.

Flip flops

June 02, 2017

Awesome, the rubber on the soles of these flip flops is super sticky. It makes them great for the wet rocks and hiking. Love them getting ready to buy my wife some.

EPIC simply put

May 10, 2017

I own 3 pairs of these amazing sandal/ flip-flop, and I will never own anything else. Superb grip in all conditions, and comfort for days, not to mention that they are versatile as it gets. I have walked up several Class II rapids to get into fishing spots with these guys strapped to my feet, and I did not have any issues at all. Simply put, these are the best of the best, hands down!!!! #Astralfishing

Versatility for the win!

February 27, 2017

As an inshore and nearshore captain in Charleston SC these are a must on my feet. Temps in my season are hot and regular shoes are just to much. The Filipe allows my feet to stay cool and comfortable. When I decide to fish the flats will use the strap for heel to walk through the water. This option allows me to walk comfortably without losing them. Absolutely love them!!

Nuanced and confidence inspiring coziness

September 01, 2016

If you're shoppin' for some floppin', these are for you, fella. An arrogant critic of shoes I might be, sure, but these are as good as a flip-flop can possibly be, and I wear mine every chance I can. They are sublime, intelligent, rather approachable....and yet still talkative, but not chatty.

Great flop

August 06, 2016

Great fitting flop. Solid support and well built. Still trying to decide how to deal with the strap. Would be nice to have if I'm scrambling around. Put when I just want to slip them on it kind of gets in the way. Size..I wear a 10.5 in Brewer and Porter. Got the 11. My foot just barely fits. Probably could have gotten the 12. Wasn't able to try them on so not sure. Great product from astral.

KaaaaPoooowwww

July 19, 2016

These are the best sandals I have ever owned. I have used a lot of sandals over the years and these hands down blow everything else out of the water. I have trekked many miles in these, and have even walked up a few Class II rapids, and the G-Rubber keeps my feet planted firmly in place! There is no other sandal out there that can match the solid performance of these bad boys! Great job Astral keep doing what you guys do, and that is make a killer product on many different fronts!!!#Wildyfishing #Astralfishing

I don't wear other shoes anymore

July 14, 2016

I got my Filipes about a month ago now. Since then, I've worn other shoes on 3 occasions: To a formal wedding, while mowing the lawn, and while riding my motorcycle. With the strap, the sandals become a ridiculously supportive open toed shoe you can trust to take you just about anywhere. Without it, they become a classically styled flip flop you can't beat at the beach or by the pool. A bit stiff and tight at first, mine took about a week to loosen up and feel just right. Now they're the first thing I grab when I'm headed out the door.

Best Adventure Sandal

My new favorite shoes!

June 15, 2016

On my recent road trip to Cali for kayaking I took two pairs of shoes...my Rassler's for kayaking and my Filipe's for everything else. I wore the Filipe's for two weeks anytime I wasn't on the river. They are comfortable and the grip is great! From hiking in Yosemite & Sequoia National Parks to walking fire roads looking for camps and put ins or takeouts these flops never let me down!

I can name other popular sandal makers who wish they made this shoe!

April 20, 2016

So comfy, grippy, light, substantial. I have lived non-stop in so many adventure sandals over the years, as a raft guide, kayak videographer, camp counselor, instructor, begrudged employee, person who walks... These feel like the culmination of years of research and searching for the right combo of features. Yeah! I don't use them as flip flops, because they feel so good snug on your foot, and better for your legs and posture. They are great.

Comfortable, but fit small and are overpriced for what they are.

September 23, 2017

The good. Have only been wearing these for a couple of days, but they are comfortable and the sticky rubber is good for being around the water/slick rocks etc. The heel strap is handy for paddling and will help for mellow hikes. These fit small and I wear a size 10 with Chaco flops, and had to go to up to an 11. The bad:These are ridiculously overpriced in Canada at around 110 dollars in BC. I purchased my pair at half off for the fall season, which is a good deal. Looking close, the construction of the Felipe is not on par with Chaco imo, and even with the heel strap, these should not be in the same price range. I definitely like these flops though and look forward to continued use.
