The Astral Techyak Hiking Shoe combines a minimalist trail performance with Astral's Rechargeable midsole for exploring nature, no matter what outdoor activity you choose. The Techyak is built using Astral's zero drop design, which combines perfectly with their Biodynamic Shape to give your toes more room to splay, offering a barefoot-like feel. An Optiminimal stack height gives you plenty of cushion and protection, without losing the minimalist feel that you know and love. Once the Rechargeable EVA midsole is packed out, you can replace it with a Drop-In Recharge Midsole (sold separately) and recharge the shoe with the same superior cushioning that you felt at the shoe's first step. Other trail-friendly features include the Trail Grip 2 outsole with Astral's most durable rubber compound, and it's directly stitched to the ripstop upper for long-lasting durability. Add in the new 100% recycled 3D mesh upper with reinforcements around the medial, toe, and heel, and you've got a trail shoe you can count on for seasons to come.
