Anyone try the new Astrals yet? I was planning to get another pair of Rasslers but they are discontinued. Curious about sizing, the Rasslers definitely ran small. These new Merge shoes look promising but they also look more designed for land. How well do they drain?

The Hiyak is a very soft flexible shoe. Like play boating bootie soft. The Merge should be a lot more supportive for hiking and scrambling. I broke down and picked up a pair of closeout brewers until I can try on the Merge or maybe the Rasslers come back out. Im wondering how well the Merge drain? Do they soak up more water then past Astrals? If not they should be a really nice river boot...
