Astral’s new TR1 Merge 2.0 hiking and backpacking shoe features a zero-drop heel to promote a more balanced alignment, posture, and natural gait. Additionally, the spacious, natural-shaped toebox allows the wearer’s toes to splay and move freely, reducing fatigue and offering maximum comfort on rugged trails.

The TR1 Merge 2.0 is also exceptionally breathable, light, and quick-drying, and features a “best-in-class” grip thanks to its G.15 Rubber and Trail Grip outsoles.

Constructed with 100% recycled polyester, vegan suede, an Ariaprene collar, and abrasion-resistant mesh ventilation, it is an extremely durable high-performance option for both wet and dry trails.

Available in Pacific Teal. Soil Taupe, and Basalt Black.
