You were born with everything you need to move well. Strength. Balance. Sensation.The simple sandal doesn’t fix you. It reveals you.
The Roots Builder is your chance to return to that. Something that moves with you, but doesn’t disappear under you. Minimal isn’t about being as thin as possible. It’s about removing what you don’t need while keeping what matters. That idea still shapes every LUNA today.

After his first trip to the Copper Canyons, Ted went home inspired. In 2007, he returned with what he thought was the future: the thinnest Vibram material he could find: light, minimal, almost nothing. He was proud of it.
When he showed it to the Tarahumara, they weren’t impressed. It was too thin. Too flimsy. Not built to last.
Because what they wanted wasn’t “less.” They wanted reliable connection. The Tarahumara don’t run barefoot.They run on something better: portable ground.
Durable. Protective. Connected.

United StatesSo far, so good! They have already molded to my foot shape. I was able to add an extra knot that keeps the leather strap from dragging on the floor. Very easy to slip on and tighten before walking out the door. The perfect elegant companion to my earthrunners. They share the same tanline, too!
Hong KongCan’t wait to put my second pair of Rooted Mono in action as I’m retiring the first pair (2656km is already on its odometer and am still rocking it). In fact this’ll be my 7th pair of LUNA Sandals since 2019. Among them I love Rooted Monos the most. I am not a fan of winged editions. Instead I prefer the more minimal and robust ones like Mono 2.0, Retro Mono and the best Rooted Mono. The simplicity of Rooted Monos gives you 100% freedom to use your feet. Yet its robustious gives you confidence to go far, really far (The longest run I did in them was 122km, I also did a 181km run in a Retro Mono Gordo). Surely they are the best companions for ultra minimalists who dare to go for the distance.
United StatesThey are really cute sandals and I love wearing them. You can wear them with any summer fit causal to classy while being extremely comfortable!
United States United StatesMy favorite shoe. My only advice is to YouTube some tying techniques to make sure you’re doing it right! I’m so in love with these.
