Our Story
St. Petersburg, Florida — where Moondeck began

Five years ago, we bought an old sailboat in St. Petersburg, Florida, knowing very little about sailing — but a lot about figuring things out.

Somewhere between rebuilding systems and spending long days on the water, we realized we were missing one thing: a shoe that actually worked for how our days moved.

We wanted something easy to step into, secure enough to move in, durable for time outside, and refined enough to wear every day.

Four years of prototyping.
One shoe built right.

That idea turned into four years of prototyping — shaping a backless shoe around the foot, building it on a running-inspired platform, and engineering comfort into every detail.

What started as a personal project quickly became something others were looking for too. We build because we enjoy the work — and because the best products come from caring about how they're actually used.

In October 2025, we launched Moondeck and the Lunar Tide 1 on Kickstarter. This is the shoe we needed — and built.
