Seattle, Wash. (February 25, 2026) — Since 2002, Astral has been designing high-performance wilderness equipment in the least toxic, lowest impact ways. Today, Astral announced its upcoming Spring 2026 footwear collection, featuring three new models, the Loyak EZ HT, TR1 Sensi HT, and Pusha, with additional color updates to some of its best-selling silhouettes.
Foundational to all Astral footwear is world-class grip via its proprietary G Rubber, its Water-readiness, and a Balanced Geometry architecture using a wider toe box and Level Footbed. Building on these fundamentals, the Spring 2026 collection expands Astral’s commitment to achieving the highest performance with appropriate use of natural materials.
According to Philip Curry, CEO and Head of Product, “Here are three new products that are 100 percent true to Astral’s eternal commitment to our customers. They are unique and necessary products designed to elevate your experience in nature. For our Water customers, we made the Pusha, a hardcore river-boot that will go places most people would not dare. For our Trail customers, we created our lightest and fastest version of our TR1 trail shoe, and made it with hemp canvas, which provides a natural level of breathability and cooling you’ve never experienced with synthetic uppers. For our Travel customers, the Loyak EZ HT features a hemp canvas upper that is a natural alternative to our best selling Loyak. It feels so good to wear natural fibers on hot days in and around the water!”
Loyak EZ HT – an organic-fiber extension of the bestselling Loyak family
The Loyak EZ HT is an organic-fiber extension of the bestselling Loyak family of minimalist shoes, designed for traveling, spending time on boat decks, relaxing, and life on the water. This easy, slip-on silhouette features natural-fiber construction made of HempTech uppers and a soft HempTech liner providing breathable, long-lasting, odor-resistant and thermoregulating comfort. In an outdoor footwear industry still heavily reliant on petroleum-based plastics, the Loyak EZ HT offers a meaningful alternative—proving that performance footwear can prioritize organic materials, durability, and environmental responsibility without compromise. The Loyak EZ HT also features Balanced Geometry and ultra-sticky G Rubber outsoles, delivering comfort, stability, and confident grip. Finally, a step-down heel allows for seamless transitions from active pursuits to laid-back moments. Launching in three colors (Salty White, Silver Pine, Light Black), the Loyak EZ HT will be available for all genders.
TR1 Sensi HT – an organic-fiber extension of our TR1 family of trail shoes
The TR1 Sensi HT is an organic-fiber extension of the TR1 family, delivering a lightweight performance trainer built for running, walking, travel, and everyday movement across city streets, gravel, and trail. Made with durable HempTech uppers, the TR1 Sensi HT is packed with serious performance, including Astralite nitrogen-infused supercritical TPE foam, Balanced Geometry, and sticky G.15 Rubber outsoles for responsive cushioning, stability, and best-in-class grip on wet and dry surfaces. With a lower stack height for ground feel and versatility, this shoe bridges performance and style—offering a cleaner, more responsible alternative to plastic-heavy trainers while remaining cooling, antimicrobial, durable, and ready for any outing without looking overly technical. Launching in three colors (Salty White, Silver Pine, Light Black), the TR1 Sensi HT will be available for all genders.
Pusha – mission-ready water boot
The Pusha is a mission-ready water boot made for the most rugged approaches to water-based wilderness adventures. Prioritizing durability, the Pusha is built using Astral’s Direct Connect construction method, bonding the upper directly to the outsole, with a 13mm Rechargeable EVA Drop-in Midsole. It features Balanced Geometry and non-marking G.ss Rubber with deep, strategically placed lugs for traction, stability in exposed environments, and excellent grip on wet rock. This adventure-ready boot also features a Top Shank to support the foot while absorbing impact and conforming to the ground, making it a great option for wilderness kayakers, packrafters, and anglers. Launching in a Peregrine Brown, the Pusha will be available for all genders.
The brand also introduces new color updates to some of its best-selling silhouettes. The Loyak W is now available in two new colors, a bold Pomegranate Red and Light Black. The Techyak and TR1 Mesh 2.0 shoes, part of Astral’s trail collection, also receive a fresh color for Spring 2026 with the addition of the Silver Pine color option.
Astral’s Spring 2026 footwear collection will be released throughout the first half of 2026.
