This will be a detailed review comparing them to Xero shoes and Altra running shoes, both of which are similar barefoot shoes, though Altras have some padding for distance runners. Grounded Footwear shoes fail on every possible front while still technically qualifying as barefoot shoes. 1. Quality: Downright cheap. Shiny plastic film quality of build. Feels like a cheap pair of slippers and while the size forms to your foot, it twists and slips at every movement. The lace is a cheap bungee, so you can rest assured it will come loose in a hurry.2. Form: The toe box is wide, but the center and heel are narrow, and the toe pads are ridiculous. Place a thin sheet of cardboard under your foot, cut it so thing that you have to carefully balance on it, and place small pebbles under each toe to further throw off your balance. That is the Grounded Footwear experience.3. Utility: I prefer to life barefoot, but the gym understandably does not allow this, so I use barefoot shoes. Using these for squats is a recipe for injury. I was struggling to maintain my balance and form as I had to focus more on the awful shoe design than on my form. The flat shape is fine, but it is far too thin on the bottom with far too flimsy a material around it to keep it beneath your feet. You will wind up half off the thin support and angled off of your own shoes.4. Comparison: I have used Xero shoes for over a year now for this same purpose, and Altras for running. Their toe box is wider than Grounded, the front does not have that absurd bump under each toe, and the overall base pad of the shoe is wide enough that you do not slip off of it. 5. Conclusion: Sum total, this fails to be a viable shoe for any purpose. This is a safety hazard and an embarrassment, they should all be ashamed. Oh, and you can't return them once opened, so enjoy contributing to cheap plastic waste. No wonder there's no option to leave a review on their website.
When tracking came through, the sizes were wrong. I'd spent quite some time checking the reviews, to see which company came out the best. I've not yet received my shoes, just hope they're OK, as returning them seems a nightmare ! However, I have since emailed them and they've clarified that the sizing is correct, so I'll update once I get them. UPDATE 11 June : Both pairs are super comfortable and I am very pleased with them. I've been complimented on their look too ! Would recommend them. My feet feel more relaxed in them, than other shoes and neuropathy is reduced.
Was sent wrong size for 2 pr shoes I ordered thru ad on Facebook. NO paperwork/invoice accompanied shoes, so no return address or phone, therefore no way to return or exchange. I have no proof of purchase other than 2 prs of shoes I cannot wear and a credit card statement with no contact info for the entity from which I purchased these shoes.
I ordered a pair of shoes, and I like them so much I've ordered two more pair. The price is incredibly low. The shoes are so light that I hardly know I'm wearing them, and they slip on which is a nice feature. Shipping is a bit slow, but I expected this, and the shipping can be tracked.
Comfortable. Lightweight. But the shoe liner does not stick to bottom of shoe so it comes out every time I take them off. Eventually tore and I can’t find a good replacement, I tried to return within 30 days and instead of just taking them back for a full refund we had to negotiate a price where I would be willing to keep them.
well for starters the minute i opened the shoes i new they were poorly done, im on my feet all day. they were plastic. next is the return process which they claimed was free, i paid to return them through ups with a return recipt and still no credit on my credit card. I will be reporting them to my credit card and to better business. Fraudulent do not order!!!!!
I bought a pair of these shoes, they did not fit, nor did I like the material they are made from. I returned them in good faith and perfect condition the next day and they did not give my money back even though I had proof of the purchase....they are a terrible company! People must be very vigilant in returning their shoes, I had lots of proof and emails saved but they still did not give my money back.....scam!
I purchased a pair of Freedom Grounded Shoes from Grounded Footwear and contacted the support team about how I intended to use their shoes. I explained that I do a 4 mile walk on the streets of my neighborhood and walk at a very brisk pace. They assured me that their shoes would provide enough support for my walks. After my walk 4 mile walk my feet were very sore and stressed my FHL tendon and it completely ruptured. I would advise anyone that purchases these shoes to only walk on softer surfaces.
I wore the shoesfor a 2 mile morning walk, the day after receiving them. I had a blister halfway through the walk. When completed, a hole was worn in the side of the shoe. Complete lack of foot support, uncomfortable, and very flimsy. On top of that, the company did not honor the 30 day money back guarantee because I had worn them and they were not in new condition. (How else can you try out a shoe without wearing it???) Buyer beware. Expensive lesson for me, but hopefully not for others who read this.
