Replaced the factory straps on a pair of Luna Origens with the Black Bear strap kit. The factory straps just dug in too much after a while on my feet and had a tendency to loosen on my wide and high volume feet (I’m 10EEEE in US men’s.) Restrapped sandals feel way more secure, and provide better adjustability for my foot width. Comfort with the new straps is improved as well; the slightly padded nature of the straps being sewn fabric and hook-and-loop vs just plain nylon strapping is a nice bonus.
While I did have to spend a good bit of time on getting my Luna footbeds to fit the side posts and the anchor tabs, I attribute that more to the fact that the Luna Origens are recycled tire sole, not really designed to be turned into a sandal to begin with nor modified at will by owners. Hardest part, for me, was pulling the side strap anchor tabs through the fairly-inflexible tire rubber.
I ordered in early September and cold weather hit sooner than I had wanted, so I have not had much chance to wear the sandals with these straps, but the construction and materials feel durable; at least as durable as my Bedrocks or the factory Luna straps.
A small suggestion for Toetem: my ankle bones sit pretty high up on my foot. The side posts as installed on my Origens sit about 1.75”/44.5mm below my ankle bones. Maybe taller sideposts as a selectable option in the future if people want a bit more security around the heel?
Was able to use these straps and side post in another brand sandals. Made the sandals 100 times better. Can't beat the customer service at Toetem
First off if you are getting these for a pair of Luna’s just know you are going to have to cut the old straps apart and might need to cut some of the sole of the sandal for them to fit. There really aren’t any instruction and I messed up a few times on the first sandals but did better on the second one. Also I thought all 4 wings were the same only to realize after the first pair was done that they aren’t. The material is great and they are comfy! I am kind of worried about how long they will hold up with pulling the straps in and out of the super tight holes to adjust them. I guess only time will tell on this.
