BARKU Luna x STD Carbon Orienteering Shoe

BARKU  LUNA x STD CARBON is created for the runner who wants a maximized swift feeling. With lightweight ceramic reinforced materials and enhanced with a 1,2mm carbon plate, Luna will boost the speed and stability in all conditions. The sole is equipped with 15 carbide steel studs to provide maximum grip on the toughest surfaces. The soft heel construction provides superb comfort and adaptive fit.

The carbon plate in the shoe not only provides extra speed and energy return, but it also increases the protection of your feet. The running feel in terrain is different from a traditional sole, where you get more bounce with a carbon plate.

The LUNA x STD is the perfect shoe for orienteering and trail running in really tough conditions and terrain.

Arch Support

The arch is supported by additional reinforcement connected with the lacing points. This will secure the fit and give the extra stability needed in the forest.

Carbon Plate

Our top range product Luna is the first ever orienteering shoe with integrated carbon plate in the sole. Across the world of running, new world records are set using this technology. We expect to see positive effects mainly when the terrain is a bit smoother and harder.

The carbon plate in the orienteering shoe is not only providing extra speed and energy return, it also increase the protection of your feet. The running feel in terrain is different from a traditional sole, where you get more bounce with a carbon plate.

Durable Materials

The super fabric ® used all around the uppers secures a long lasting shoe for all the challenges you will face in the forest. All orienteering shoes also have a protective mudguard around the split line between upper and sole with extra reinforcement on the toe box.

The Super Fabric ® is a material developed for the U.S. military, featuring ceramic reinforcement on the outer layer. It is a material with a good track record in terms of durability.

Whether a shoe lasts forever or a season depends greatly on the individual runner. However, the foundation of the shoe and its construction are designed with long-term durability in mind.

Stress-Reliefing Heel

The heel counter has an “U-shape” which creates stability in sideways but still relieves the heel from hard pressure. To secure the fit in the shoe, there is an extra padding section at the back.
