Most men tend to size down 1/2 to a full size with LUNAs.

Most women are true to size.

With LUNAs, you want a close fit and not a lot of space around your foot.

For more detailed guidance and support, please visit our size guide.

Wear them. Really wear them.

Take your LUNAs out for 30 days and use them the way you actually will. Trail miles, river crossings, the walk for coffee, a whole day on your feet. Get them dusty, get them wet, put real ground under them. There is no mileage limit and no keep-them-pristine clause.

If they turn out not to be right for you, send them back within 30 days of delivery for a refund, no questions asked, however worn they are. Want to try a different model instead? Return shipping is on us.

Clearance items are not eligible. Original shipping is not refunded. In the US, returns are free if you added Checkout+ at checkout. Without it, a $10 return fee comes off your refund. Full returns and exchanges policy

LUNAFICATION GUARANTEE

Wear them as hard as you like for 30 days. If they are not right for you, send them back for a refund, no questions asked, however many miles are on them.

    I love my Lunas

    This is my second pair of Lunas. My first pair I’ve worn all summer for years, on day long walks, on the beach, on my bike. The tread has worn down, but they’re still wearable. My new ones will be my ‘dressy’ ones!

    Product arrived after some confusion from FedEx. This is my seventh pair or Lunas. Each pair and style never fails to impress. Strapping system is by far the most flexible abd comfort is perfect. Heres to many many miles of adventure in this pair

    Happy feet, dirty feet :)

    Took my Middle Bears for their maiden hike today - 9.5 miles up and around Marlette lake NV. Love my Lunas. These are my 6th pair - 3 of the others are still running strong (Origens are FOREVER!!!) but weren’t right for this trail. I’ve tried most everything out there, but Retro and Roots Lunas are always what I come back to. Retros if they will get wet, Roots for anything else.

    I usually buy Retros and swap them to Roots once they have formed to my foot.
