WHAT IS LUNA BUILDER?

Barefoot Ted here. Quick story to share. The Roots Sandal Builder has been a dream of mine for over 10 years. Now it is here!

From the earliest days of LUNA Sandals in a garage in Seattle, I have dreamed of an online place where in realtime you could step-by-step build the perfect huarache-style sandal. The Roots Builder allows this. The steps are simple and fun.

What does "Roots" mean? LUNA Roots #lunaroots sandals are crafted by hand in our own factory here in the USA. We obsess on finding the finest materials and making the highest quality sandals. We love what we do and you'll notice the difference.

The main choices you have are:
Outsole - the material that touches the ground.
Footbed - this is the material on the top of the sandal that your foot touches.
Lace Styles - Slip-On laces or Multi-Wrap laces. Both now come with plugs!
Tech Strap - available on sandals with Slip-On laces.
Color - pick the color of laces and tech strap.

THE INSPIRATION FOR ROOTS

As many of you know, in 2006 I ventured down into the Copper Canyons of Mexico to participate in a now famous footrace with some of the greatest indigenous mountain runners in the world, the famed Tarahumara. The book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall gave many in the world their first deep glimpse of these people and their amazing running skills and their distinctive footwear, the simple huarache sandals.

Upon my return, I started experimenting with making my own simple sandals using the huarache as my launching point. By 2007, I had returned to the Copper Canyons to see if I could complete the 50 mile course in my own sandals. My success launched a footwear revolution. The "barefoot shoe" craze began and many jumped on the bandwagon.

LUNA Sandals is the outcome of all that experimenting and fun. We feel like surfers making surfboards. We enjoy turning others onto the simple joy of running and living in sandals, and we make them in a way that makes us proud. You'll feel the difference. #lunaroots

Ultimate selection for Luna sandals

For me, Roots builder, Leadville pacer or Venado, with MGT and multi wrap leather lace, are my ultimate selections of Luna sandals!! I tried thicker and a bit rigid sole with original strap, but I noticed thinner and softer sole can enjoy my original foot spring more, sharpened my sole sensor for feeling trails. Regarding original lace system, that stitching line for edge of “Luna‘s brand mark” abrased my foot skin and always required a bandage for anti-bleeding for long running. After that I noticed leaser lace would be good because of the smooth touch for foot skin. Now I love Multi-wrap lace!! It is nicely strapping my foot during long-run and trail-run more than slip-on type. Of course, slip-on is still good for jogging for river or sea shore, and long-run sometimes. I've been enjoying 4 sandals with leather lace depending on the situation.

First Time Lunas Roots User

Extremely happy with the Lunas. I always felt it was insane to run in these!! After three months, and having covered the 5K distance, I am very happy and would look to adding other Lunas and increase my mileage. I find my self wearing them more and almost daily. Give them a try you won’t be disappointed!!!
