Astral Unisex Brewer Watershoe
- Astral calls this shoe "unisex" because it comes in the fullest range of sizes, from the smallest women's to the largest men's. Each shoe is marked with it's men's size and the corresponding women's size. See the sizing in the drop down menu in the Add to Cart box above.
- This is a watershoe that looks as good as it performs.
- It is so lightweight - less than 8 ounces (214 grams)! This minimalist construction also reduces use of toxic adhesives.
- The upper is made with Cordura® and Airmesh for durable, breathable performance.
- Stealth® rubber in the outsole gives you outstanding wet or dry traction.
- The rockered toe helps the front of the shoe ride up over rocks and is naturally articulated for the kayaking position.
- The shoe has plenty of drainage ports in sidewalls, sole and heel to rapidly get rid of water.
- EVA foam in the Barefoot Geometry midsole provides cushioning comfort and protection from sticks and stones.
- The Brewer also has a step-down heel so you can wear it as a slip-on when you're not likely to get chundered.

Comments about Astral Unisex Brewer Watershoe:
Great alternative to bulky water shoes or booties. I use these for river surfing on Badfish boards. Grip well on wet rocks, lightweight and fairly comfortable. I wear a custom insole that fits perfectly inside. Can't comment on the build quality as I've only worn them a handful of times but so far, so good. The true strength of these shoes are their drain holes. Brilliant.

Comments about Astral Unisex Brewer Watershoe:
I have had to send the shoe back twice for a bigger size. I usually wear a 9.5 in women's but I am ending up with an 11. More pictures would also be helpful to better show off the colors.
I find the Brewer to also be narrower than I would like, having to put a dry suit into there as well as wanting to use the shoes everyday I have had to go up in size to accommodate for the narrow fit.
I am excited though to find a shoe that I like the design quite a bit, can wear on the water and feel great about it, AND wear everyday in comfort.
Thanks Astral for opening up the market to a versatile, durable and stylish shoe!

Q:
Is there a width difference (or any difference) between the men's and the unisex?Asked on 9/12/2012 by Nate from the world1 answer
A:
Astral refers to it as unisex because it comes in sizes from the smallest women's size to the largest men's size. Take a look at the drop down in the Add to Cart block - http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2357&pdeptid=2052. The men's size and comparable women's size is listed for each. There's no difference the width here than in the Brewers labeled Men's or Women's.Answered on 9/14/2012 by Clyde from NRS
