Why grounding shoes

Most shoes cut you off from the ground

Standing barefoot on grass, sand or soil puts your skin in direct contact with the earth. That’s grounding. Rubber and foam soles are insulators, so in ordinary shoes the connection stops at your feet.

01

Copper grounding rivet

A copper rivet runs through the sole beneath the ball of your foot. Your skin touches it on the inside; the ground touches it on the outside.

02

All-leather, no rubber

Vegetable-tanned leather insole and outsole, stitched with waxed cotton thread. No synthetic foam between you and the earth.

03

Shaped like a real foot

A wide toe box lets your toes spread. A zero-drop, flexible sole lets your feet move and feel the ground the way they do barefoot.

How do grounding shoes work?

A copper rivet passes through the leather sole under the ball of your foot. Inside, it touches your skin; outside, it touches the ground. On natural surfaces like grass, sand and soil, that gives you the same contact with the earth as walking barefoot.

Which surfaces do they work on?

Grass, soil, sand, unsealed concrete, stone and gravel. Slightly damp ground works best. Asphalt, wood, vinyl, tile and carpet don’t conduct.

Do I wear them with socks?

For a ground connection, wear them barefoot so your skin touches the rivet. The soft leather lining is designed to be comfortable without socks.

How do they fit?

True to size with a roomy toe box. Pick the option that includes your usual size. The leather softens and molds to your foot, and size exchanges are free.

Is there a break-in period?

Most people find them comfortable from day one. If you’re new to flat, zero-drop shoes, start with a few hours a day for the first week or two while your feet and calves adjust.

Can they get wet?

Dew and damp ground are fine and even improve the connection. Avoid soaking them. If they get wet, let them air-dry away from direct heat and condition the leather now and then.

What’s your return policy?

You have 45 days to try them. If they’re not right for you, return them for a full refund. Wrong size? We’ll exchange it for free.
