Yeah, it is kind of like sliding your toes into an envelope, but it somehow works for me. It is a bit like the old "sock racer" type shoes.

I have never run in the Lunar Racer, but since its midsole/outsole doesn't flare out, it would be too neutral for me. There are lots of concrete roads/trails where I live rather than asphault and the Lunar Trainer has made them much mroe bearable.
Actually, the Lunaracer also flares out on the medial side. Nike rep Ernest Kim says that it is actually more stable (and softer) than the Lunar Trainer. I have the same experience with you with other neutral shoes with them getting compressed on the medial side, but my Lunaracers were still level after about 800+ miles - and they still felt good. But at that point the uppers were blown out beyond repair. (I had been patching them up with stick-on nylon repair tape.)
The softness was kind of different at first, but I got used to it and don't mind racing in them. They get a lot less bouncy if you put a lot of miles in them (but still feel good - maybe better? - to me).
No shit? I might have to try a pair, then.
Right now I am recovering from sports hernia surgery (1 week out) so it will be a while before flats are relevant for me again.
