UK-based outdoor lifestyle brand HI-TEC® is set to release the EASTEND FLOAT at select retailers nationwide and the MoonStar Online Store from late March 2026.
EASTEND FLOAT
The EASTEND FLOAT is a mule-type version of HI-TEC's signature sneaker, the EASTEND, reimagined for casual warm-weather wear. Constructed from a single layer of sheer material, the shoe pursues both a translucent aesthetic and lightweight feel. Pairing the shoes with colorful socks to play up the sheer effect is also recommended. A quick-lace system allows wearers to fine-tune the fit, and the design minimizes heel slippage.

About HI-TEC
HI-TEC was founded in the UK in 1974, with roots in squash footwear. The hiking shoe "Sierra," released in 1978, brought the concept of lightweight construction to a category where heavy boots had long been the norm, earning the brand a devoted following. The Sierra also generated considerable attention in Japan during the early days of the outdoor boom. Since then, HI-TEC has continued to develop running shoes, supply training footwear to the British military, and produce beloved gear for outdoor enthusiasts around the world across nearly five decades.
