Running in Huaraches (Luna's)

[Barefoot Gentile]

I started trail running this year, absolutely love it! I have started running in my luna's as well, and found them to be the ultimate minimal shoe to run in.

I love running in huaraches. I have my homemade ones and then I have a pair of the ATS from Luna. I hated the strapping system on the ATS so I swapped it out for hemp and they seem to be ok as long as I don't run through to much water. When running through water they constrict which can, and in my case did, tear my skin from tightening too much. I think that was because I had them laced in the slip on method, which I don't really like. I have gone back to my favorite method of tying which is the traditional way. I see you like tying yours this way too. I feel I have more control this way.

Yeah, I'm not gonna' lie, my Lunas make it hard to get in the barefoot miles I need to for the barefoot running study I'm in.

I've been using mine much more this winter when conditions allow, and in the cold now that I've found I don't need toe socks after all. They are great for steady distance work, and I also found that I can go fast (for me) in them with a 20:09 5km this week.
