What's Your Vote? A Sneak Peek at New RunAmoc

The new 2011 RunAmoc is almost here... just a few more tweaks! This is a sneak peek at the new version which will debut in May.

We are trying to decide on the in-stock color scheme. Which do you prefer?


Mostly Black? or Metal? (Silvery/Grey)

Mostly black would be my pick. Wow, those look good!

Kevin Worth said...

I like the silver version.

Definitely mostly black. All black would be nice, too.

Black. Just did a 2hr 40min mountain run in my old style RunAmocs. They were great, but adding those laces would really help keep my foot from sliding around inside the moc.

Are you going to do a smooth leather version of this? Colorado trails like to insert sand and little rocks through those holes...

Patrick said...

My girlfriend and I both like the black version (but they both look great). This is exciting! I'm actually surprised how different these are from the current RunAmoc. Can't wait to see more of them.

Bob said...

The ones with the black front. My biggest concern for the new runamocs is for the it to be shaped more like the shape of a foot. The old ones have a rounded shape in front, where the furthest point out from the middle toe and that leaves a lot of extra room in front of all toes except the big toe and second toe. Please make the new ones with a more tapered design, the furthest point of the shoe being the big toe and second toe.

In short- black please.

All black, and a high enough toe box that the outer toes don't get mashed down where the upper meets the sole. Please :)
And thanks for asking.

All black would be my preference.

Mostly black out of the 2 shown.

TK said...

Black please.

Black. Like my original Lite's.

i happen to like the predominately lighter shoe because they look like saddle shoes. i want some!

sendawarmhug.com said...

i also agree with what bob said about a more tapered foot front.

Ludo said...

Black....definitely!

I must admit I am not SoftStar customer but I have been very tempted to try a pair. These new ones will definitely tip me over the edge, they look awesome!

I like the all black ones seen here:

I'd like a brown pair as well (I think I can pass them off as dress shoes for work). Gimme gimme!

Black- but I like options :)
And PLEASE please please keep the original RunAMoc model available. I like the elastic ankle.

Alison Goodchild said...

I like the top version better. Can't wait to wear out my old ones in order to justify getting another pair. I've just gotta run even more...

Brad said...

I vote black! I'm liking the new look of these, I've eyed the original version in the past, but this new look just might persuade me to hit the add-to-card button! ~~Brad

sean said...

Definitely the mostly black.

I live here in Corvallis and have really wide (9 4E) feet -- I assume if I came down to the shop the elves could make me a custom pair that actually fit? I can't use any of the other minimalist running shoes because nobody yet makes them in widths...

andy said...

All black would be my choice. I like your multi-colored for my kids for for me I like solid colors.

jhamani i said...

Of the two, the mostly black would be my pick. My preference would be all black in smooth leather.

liquidhands said...

how bout all black? pretty please. Also, I hope that toe box is just as wide if not wider than the old version, the angle of that pic makes them look narrower.

hans said...

All black please, no silver.
keep that toe box wide =)

Molly said...

Mostly black. Can't wait to get some RunAmocs for when I can't wear my Mocs!

Anonymous said...

Brown! Silver! Black! Hope these stay wide. Passing 500 miles in my current RunAmocs, but need a ventilated pair for summer. Thanks for pushing this edge. C

Budd said...

All Black to match my old style perforated RunAmocs. I just ran 24 miles yesterday in the old RunAmocs. Looking to get a second pair for a 12 hour race this summer. Any idea how much they will weigh compared to the old RunAmocs Lite?

Great shoes!!!

Ted said...

I'd prefer an all-black option. (Thanks for spreading the word, Budd!)

Anonymous said...

All black would be my pick too. I also agree on the comments about the tapered sole. The RunAmocs are just awesome, but I still think there is too little room for the big toe and too much space in front of the second to fourth toes on my current pairs. A modification of the shape of the sole would definetly be an improvement. And why not also make a water resistent rambler version for off trail use? Thanks for making such great shoes:)

kasugie said...

Silver, definitely.

Black, and please give an option of tapering or not! A lot of people have asked for tapering, but it's the untapered toe that help me fit into the current Runamocs!
