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

Lunas

So 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!

Rooted Mono : The minimal and robustious

Can’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.

Nobody knows I'm wearing my ultralight barefoot walking sandals!

They are really cute sandals and I love wearing them. You can wear them with any summer fit causal to classy while being extremely comfortable!

I love them and am braving through breaking them well. (Ouch!) They are lovely.

Outstanding! My forever summer shoe!

My 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.
