I have a ...Thanks Jason, that is a terrific review. I have a pair of BFT's new Leadville Lunas (suede, with leather straps), and they are wonderful and I can corroborate all the points you made in your review. I prefer the traditional method (around the ankle) and as you described, I started out tying them too loose, but soon I discovered how to get them properly snug. But I will make a couple of points that differ slightly from your review. (1) I did find that getting them wet (in my case, from morning dew) made the suade footbed very slippery and reduced my side to side stability. (2) Ted's sandals are wonderful in almost all conditions and all terrains, with the possible exception of traversing a slope on a minimal (or no) trail, in which case there is not much lateral stability and I find my foot sliding downhill in the sandal; in this case, I am gradually adjusting my technique to crab or sidestep a bit more across the slope. But like yourself, I still find the sandals to be the best alternative to actually running barefoot, so I will continue to run in them, no doubt. I haven't run in shoes for weeks (now months)!DougInBoulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897740629170676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-12442843970633630892010-09-22T11:49:32.988-04:002010-09-22T11:49:32.988-04:00@ Bobby.

I haven't received any blisters, but I think it is because I have taken a very slow build up to the distance I am running now. I have received more blisters from running completely barefoot, but to be fair, I mostly run and use my Luna's for every day use.<br /><br />The trick is finding a tying method that is not to tight and not to loose. I use a slip on method that is every to adjust when the laces start to loosen up. Which they will do because the leather stretches out over time. Hope this helps!Thodinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118695456341132611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-9927361991770348542010-09-10T17:40:23.378-04:002010-09-10T17:40:23.378-04:00Has anyone run in Luna's with suede, and witho...Has anyone run in Luna's with suede, and without suede?<br /><br />I just took my Luna's out for a run today for the first time and loved them. I have the plain with leather laces. I have not run barefoot much and I got a little excited and went 8 miles, at mile 6 the skin on my feet was beginning to hurt. Sure enough, I got some gnarly blisters. I'm sure this is due to the fact that I have not run barefoot much and did too much to start... but I was wondering if the suede would possibly help. Any suggestions?Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210154406487728298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-76771153715542618672010-08-28T00:19:58.822-04:002010-08-28T00:19:58.822-04:00Thank you, LPJ!

Your review gives me a much better idea now. Thanks!

Have you tried the RunAmocs? I don't see how you could make that statement if you have. The sole is similare to Ted's huaraches, but instead of holding the shoes on with laces, you hold them on with a soft leather cover and a string around the ankle. I've found them to be a terrific minimal running shoe.islanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988056532157676496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-13190481859006464482010-08-27T11:05:09.293-04:002010-08-27T11:05:09.293-04:00Did you go with the 6mm neoprene sole?

I made them myself using the videos from invisible shoe.com and managed to get the left foot right on the first try and only had to retie my right foot once in order to get that sweet spot. I also use the slip on knot...the classic knot is too much work to take them off or put them on.<br /><br />I still use my five fingers as my every day wear around walking shoe, but rarely run in them anymore. If I'm going barefoot/minimalist, I'd rather actually be barefoot or wearing my huaraches.Blaine Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850230392841736295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-85581987811533845922010-08-27T08:18:36.583-04:002010-08-27T08:18:36.583-04:00Thanks Jason!

Does it need some "break in" time? <br /><br />Shelly looks great but I am wondering about wrapping the laces around; how does that affect the wear? <br /><br />Thanks and peace,<br />Beth (Chickpastor)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
