Looks like Soft Star is going as traditional as handmade can get on laces. Love the new color cut-outs. Love the heel-cup. Love love love! I think it looks like a racing slipper from the early 1900s. Something Roger Bannister would approve of. :p

The moment these come out, they're mine! Bwahahahaha!
 
I love it!! They don't look

I love it!! They don't look like grown-up Robeez. (Parents of small children, you know what I'm talking about....) I'm so excited about all the great options coming out.
 
These will look good with

These will look good with jeans. Not as good as barefoot with jeans though. ;-)
 
I recruited a guy running

I recruited a guy running around the park in RunAmocs to my new running club. He told me his family randomly bought his RunAmocs for Christmas so he started running in them. What a weird gift, huh? But he really liked them. These are so cute, and look cooler than the RunAmocs.
 
I wish I could see the heel

I wish I could see the heel section better. It appears they have added more to the material in the heel to keep the leather up on this model which I had issues with in the old ugly model. I hope they do the same in the Run Amocs because this model from an appearance standpoint does not do anything for me. What's wrong with the grown-up Robeez look ; )?
 
Gee guys, give the elves a

Gee guys, give the elves a break on looks. I've been wearing their regular shoes for a year now and yes, they look like elf shoes, but my feet are happy!

It should be noted that the leather is vegetable dyed, no nasty chemicals. . .
 
I tried soft star at one

I tried soft star at one point when I wore shoes more. I made numerous attempts, and the products could not meet the needs of my feet. That was even trying the custom method with it still being a returnable product.

So I gave up on that company as a option.

The original pic in the top of this thread. I guess reinforces my good choice to avoid these products. That particular model they will be releasing reminds me of a bowling shoe based on how it looks. Not a chance........
 
Wow, lots of fashion divas

Wow, lots of fashion divas here on BFRS =)

I wear my old runamocs to work sometimes, they look fine, slacks cover most of em anyway right?

anywho, interested in the new ones, weary of the tounge and heel biting into the ankle area...
 
The lacing is a big help: 

The lacing is a big help: Mine would flop around when they got too wet. Since I'd only use them over huaraches in wet weather, that became a big problem. I'm definitely getting a pair, but I think I'll wait until fall.
 
These look like they'll work

These look like they'll work better than the original version. However, I so wish I could have a wool felt/boiled-wool version of these. Wool has natural ventilation and dries considerably faster than leather. Rubber sole bonds well to felt/boiled-wool, allowing the elimination of the midsole.
