THE SIMPLE SANDAL IS... perhaps one of the oldest human inventions. Human beings have learned that protecting the bottom of our feet can give us a huge advantage in many environments. IN 2003, BAREFOOT TED WAS ON A SEEMINGLY SIMPLE MISSION... to learn how to run pain-free. That simple desire led him down a rabbit-hole of a quest to learn as much as he could about natural running form, the natural selection of footwear, and the evolution of human movement. On his journey he re-discovered that the human body is not broken by design. We, as humans, have an amazing capacity to move well solely with the equipment we were born with, our own bodies. As he learned more about the natural selection of footwear in human cultures, he kept finding the simple sandal as the footwear of choice for many cultures past and present. HE TRAVELED... down to the Copper Canyons of Mexico to run a 50 mile ultra-marathon with the legendary Tarahumara, and while there, Ted became friends with Manuel Luna. This story is famously chronicled in Christopher McDougall's best-seller, Born To Run. Manuel made Ted his first pair of traditional tire 'huarache' sandals. The spark for LUNA sandals was born and as they say, the rest is history. BY EARLY 2010... BFT was inundated with requests for the sandals he had been developing and making in his garage. FAST-FORWARD TO TODAY... Now located in a beautiful new space in Wenatchee, WA, LUNA's team, products, and processes have grown and evolved immensely.
