It looks like soft star is developing a running style moccasin. Interesting. I wonder how durable they will be. These are the running shoes of choice for Legolas and other LOTR elves.  I'm thinking of getting some soft stars for kicking around in. |

Look promising, if they're cheap and they change the color.

The LOTR reference -- classic.
Yeah SS actually asked me to test out their running moc prototype. I declined but asked Tuck (of tuck's shoes) to stand in for me as he runs a great deal more than I do. He is testing them out now and at some point we'll probably see a post about them on birthdayshoes.
The "Legolas" -- perfect.

I wonder if they are available in stores? There is a place by me that sells moccasins. I might have to check it out. I could really use a cheaper minimalist shoe option.

They're still testing them as of MArch 15, 2010. So I don't think they're available yet and when they do become available, it would be through the softstar site or stores that carry their products. |

I guess I should have been more clear about a local dealer that sells moccasins. I wasn't expecting them to carry Softstar products per se, but a moccasin does sound like a good alternative to wearing V5Fs. I guess I could just muster up the courage and go barefoot and save a lot more money not having to buy footwear. |

I found a review from a tester of the upcoming softstar running mocs. I'm pretty excited and can't wait for them to debut sometime this spring/summer. I might even give the bikilas a pass and go with the softstar run-a-moc, an all-American (materials and labor) company. |

So here's the newest info on the softstar running mocs! Just a brief summary, Perforated leather or suede upper. 2 sole choices of 2mm for street or 5mm for trail running. Vibram soles. Release date April 28th!!! Hooray, I'm excited. I wonder what the price will be. All all american leather and american made. I'm passing on bikilas and getting softstars. |

I don't know. As different looking VFFs are, I think those mocs would make me feel like a dork. I think I'll go with the Bikilas and pass on the whole elf LOTR look.
