I have read some bad reviews on Grounded Footwear. Some of what is said about the quality MAY be true, as they do not appear to be a robust manufacture. Time will tell with the shoes I have. Keep this in mind: they market them as minimalist shoes and that is EXACTLY what they are. If you are expecting something different, then purchase another shoe of this type elsewhere. You won’t find anything better in this category of shoe. Remember what it is you are purchasing. It’s not a hiking shoe!I ordered the size I always wear. They were too small. I needed a half size larger. Perhaps this is because I have wide feet. I contacted customer support via email and the technician, Mike, was very responsive. After a few emails clarifying everything, he said I should keep the shoes I have and donate them - and I will do that for a family member or friend - and he will send a new pair, 1/2 size larger, free of charge. Thank you, Mike and Grounded! You won my loyalty. I feel like the bottom of my feet are receiving a gentle massage as I walk. They are very comfortable, like I am walking without shoes but with all the protection I need on the soles of my feet. When won’t I wear them? - on a Rocky Mountain trail - unless I was 25 years-old again and my feet and joints could withstand that- in cold weather, ice and snow (I live in New England)- walking on the dirt road I live on- probably not in rainy weather, but maybe I would if it was a warm day and I wasn’t concerned about getting wet (they surely will dry out quickly)There may be other places or times I wouldn’t wear them. I DO wear them in the house all the time (sublime comfort), doing light yard work, walking around town and shopping, and at the office. I suggest you seriously consider where you will be using them and purchase accordingly. For me, they have been an amazing relief for these 60 year-old active feet.
