The Luna sandals which arrived in 2020

went on to work quite well for walking but not running.  They have the grip required to climb hills.  The hot snotted fabric strap never had any problems as long as the hot snot was manetained & the laces were loosened before putting them on.  There were dreams of printing a more robust attachment or looping fabric through the existing holes.  There was a dream of sewing fabric on fabric instead of gluing. 

The suede coverings needed washing after every outing.  They eventually shrank & didn't stick on so they were left off.  The bare rubber was acceptable for walking.

What was $80 in 2020 is now $110 so these will be the last lunas in the lion kingdom.  It's not clear what lions will use for walking when they wear out.  It might go back to shoes since walking was never subject to causing blisters.  $110 was once the domane of top tier Hokas.  The $140 Hokas are now $200 but inflation in a lion's mind doesn't equate to something getting less attainable, just the money being less valuable. 

The replacement might be unpadded rubber since the only thing preventing the EVA sandals from being used for walking is compression.
