DYO Dash RunAmoc
Quick Overview
The RunAmoc DASH is an extension of our RunAmoc line with a whole new look. We heard from many customers that they were wearing their RunAmoc Originals to work, and from many more that they would love a style with laces up the front. Top lacing provides adjustability for a snugger fit over the top of your foot. We've also added reflectors on the front and back, by popular demand, for extra safety when running before sunrise.

- leather uppers keep feet cool with quick-dry properties.

- Choose your outer sole: Personalize with Trail (5mm) or street (2mm) soling options featuring genuine Vibram® products.
- Lightweight, between 5.6 oz to 8.7 oz depending on the type of sole you choose and how big your paws are.
- Designed and made in Oregon using 100% made-in USA raw materials.
- Reflective tabs on heel and tongue for safety.
- We can make most shoes within 4 business days (some exceptions apply).
- Design-Your-Own shoes in like-new condition are fully returnable/exchangeable according to the terms of our return policy.
The DASH works well for performance athletes and can also pass for business casual wear. It is our philosophy to be as barefoot as possible, while providing the protection from the elements you need! The RunAmoc DASH is just as lightweight and flexible as the RunAmoc Original, with the same thin durable Vibram soling.
Soft Star shoe sizes are unisex "U".
Note: The earlier "A" (adult) identifier has been replaced by a "U"(unisex adult). If you previously ordered a 9A, you would now order a 9U.
Please use table below to best find your corresponding size. For best results, rely on your standard US shoe size. We find this to be the best place to start for adults and generally the most reliable method.
A few style notes:
RunAmoc ORIGINALS are designed to be loose and feel "floppy." If you want a snugger fit then you may want to go down a size in the ORIGINALS.
RunAmoc DASH have a closer fit and there is no need to go down a size.
Order Phoenix boots to fit SNUG as they will stretch over time. If in doubt, go down a size and expect them to be very snug the first few weeks. This is true for any brand of genuine sheepskin boots—they are soft and giving.

HISTORY:
In the fall of 2009, we noticed a sharp increase in calls from customers requesting modifications to our existing line of glove-like moccasins. We were surprised to learn that people weren't only wearing them around the house, but to run trails, marathons and even ultra marathons. With interest increasing in barefoot running, we began development of a minimal running moccasin designed by and for runners.
Soft Star called on our online community of fans to solicit input on ideal features to design a new shoe designed specifically for runners that was lighter, ventilated and featured super-thin, flexible running soles. Customers provided feedback on prototypes, submitted ideas for names and ultimately voted on the name RunAmoc. Since the launch of the Original RunAmoc, we have also introduced the Dash and the Moc3. We hope you find these unique running shoes to be a benefit to your training routine.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TRANSITIONING TO MINIMAL RUNNING SHOES:
Making the switch from traditional shoes to minimal shoes or barefoot running/walking should be done gradually with research and advice from healthcare professionals to prevent injury. Walking barefoot will tire your feet initially and require extra stretching and care. Running minimal/barefoot will naturally shift your stride to a lighter forefoot or mid-foot strike and will inevitably use new muscles in your feet, ankles and calves. Please do not just take off in your new minimal shoes unless you already are a minimal footwear/barefoot runner. You will probably be tempted to just take off since they are FUN and you feel like a kid in them, but you may end up injuring yourself if you plunge into full speed without prior conditioning. There is a lot of great advice in the recommended reading on how and why you should transition to a more minimal shoe. It is worth your time to do some research and find a training plan that works for you—and helps you avoid throwing out your back or blowing your calf muscle.
We do our best to get the best leather color swatch photographs possible - but we realize pictures aren't always enough. So when a customer suggested we tell people what Crayola™ color crayon the leather most closely matches - we thought that was a fantastic idea! Below you will find the Soft Star colors and the Crayola™ Crayon names.
Another of our customers had a fun idea - requesting coloring sheets of our basic styles so that her kids could color and design their own shoes. We thought it was a terrific idea - so if you want to print out your own coloring pages - click on the links below.
Have fun coloring! (Click on style below for coloring page)
