I wanted something light, comfy, and still a little bit "heavy duty" for rougher trails. In short, these things have become the only footwear I wear when not at work. I wear them for hiking, maintaining my five acres, shopping, and just hanging out. Another pair in a different color is coming soon. I went for my first longer hike the other day on a mixed trail (some areas well maintained and others pretty rough). I walked in a creek, climbed in trees, and took on rough rocky terrain. Never once did I wish I had a "tougher shoe" on. And they were ridiculously comfortable. (Side note: My wife and kids had hurting feet in their traditional running shoes at the end. I could have gone on for miles with zero issues. I'm working on them... Ha!) One tip. In MY experience, the straps "stretched" a little at first. In other words, I would get them all set, and then need to tighten them up ever so slightly over time. I had to do that three or four times... but literally less than a centimeter. Now they have "settled in" to absolute perfection. I'm not saying this is a bad thing. Quite the opposite. I'm simply letting you know so that you don't think something is "wrong" with them if you have to slightly adjust them a few times. They are now ridiculously good to go. I wouldn't change a thing! Sorry to blather on. But I am a fan! Luna for life!

good shoe love it but i can buy another 1 luna sandal with imported Tax that i paid

I’ve been using these sandals to walk the famous Scottish West Highland Way, and they’ve held up through the first fifty miles of streams, hikes, and occasional scrambles, defying the odds of those who doubted the power of the sandals

I've had the Oso Flaco Winged Edition for over a year now and have taken them on multiple backpacking, kayaking, and traveling trips and they do not disappoint! I've found them comfortable enough to wear all day, and with good enough traction to feel confident walking on uneven or slightly slippery terrain. They're very lightweight, so it's easy to pack them for a trip without adding bulk. I'm a big fan of these!

I tried the Luna sandals on rather challenging paths: mountain paths in the Sibillini mountains (Apennine, in Italy). I also walked on a scree, and climbed down a steep and difficult slope. Once having overcome the fear to be practically barefeet (which forces us to pay more attention), the walk proved to be very comfortable; very good grip even on slippery ground. I'm waiting to try the use in water (rain or ford). Just be careful in case of low, thorny bushes on the trail. Now the durability of the materials remains to be tested: on mountain trails the stresses on the materials can be really intense (crossing fingers).
