Aquatic themes with sporty elements that inspire outdoor activity.
A new last was developed to address existing underfoot comfort & fit issues. By dropping the ball of the foot, adding additional cupping to the heel and more arch support the new last & tooling work to create a more comfortable outdoor experience.
The new tread design features forefoot AQUASTOP siping and traction lugs. The contoured design along the sidewall and arch reduce rubber and overall weight. This tooling was created using 2 part molding, it features EVA injected midsole and a rubber outsole.
Color direction inspired by coast to trail terrain and the female consumer. Commercially viable, desert and nautical themes with feminine accents.
The Astoria West franchise now includes both open and closed toe options with webbing & leather varieties.
