The rechargeable hiking shoe that's built for longevity & works with your body

The Astral Nosobo™ Hiking Shoe redefines what you expect from performance footwear. Engineered for thru-hiking, Nosobo™ delivers exceptional durability, cushioning, and grip. At the heart of the design is the replaceable Rechargeable™ drop-in midsole, which can be replaced to extend both the life and comfort of your shoes, restoring the spring in your step and the lifespan of your shoes.

The Rechargeable™ mid-soles are more than just an insole and contain a majority of the cushioning in shoes that wear out first. Built with DirectConnect™ construction, the outsole is permanently bonded and stitched directly to the upper, preventing the common problem of sole separation after hundreds of miles. Combined with G.15™ Rubber and the new Trail Grip 2™ Outsole, Nosobo™ offers elite traction and abrasion resistance on rugged terrain.

With a durable exterior and a midsole designed to be replaced once it wears out, the Astral Nosobo™ represents a more natural and environmentally friendly future for long-distance trail shoes.

Features: 

• Rechargeable™ drop-in midsoles: Exceptional cushioning that can be replaced to extend shoe life and refresh comfort. Most hikers can "recharge" their midsoles several times within the lifespan of the outer Nosobo shoe. 

• Biodynamic Shape™: Wider toe box allows natural toe splay, improving balance and propulsion

• DirectConnect™ construction: Outsole is stitched and bonded directly to the upper, eliminating delamination

• Balanced Geometry™: Zero drop Level Footbed® and wider toe box align with your foot’s natural position for stability and support

• Legendary G Rubber™ grip: Non-marking, high-friction rubber grips wet or dry surfaces with high abrasion resistance

• Zero drop: With 20mm stack height for optimal ground feel and protection

• 85% recycled (rPET) upper and laces: More environmentally-conscious materials

• Ankle gaiter compatible: Integrated velcro at the heel can attach to velcro on ankle gaiters for added trail protection]
