Grounding Sandals
Our Grounding Essentials Sandals are crafted from real dark-green leather and a contoured natural cork footbed. The cork provides light cushioning and gradually molds to your feet, creating a personalized fit after a short break-in period. The sandals feature two pure copper grounding points—one at the heel and one near the toes. These copper elements conduct the earth’s natural charge to your body as you walk. No electronics or charging are needed.
The result is a simple, natural way to stay grounded throughout your day. Adjustable straps ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Durable materials, timeless design, and true grounding technology—perfect for everyday wear.
Crafted for Comfort and Connection
Cork Footbed
Cork has been used for centuries as a natural, supportive material, valued for its durability and comfort. In our sandals, the cork footbed gradually molds to the unique shape of your feet, creating a custom fit over time. It provides natural arch support while remaining lightweight and flexible. As you wear them, the cork adapts to your walking pattern, making each step more comfortable than the last. This is comfort shaped by time and movement.
Full-Grain Leather Upper
We use premium full-grain leather, cut to a thick 3.5 mm for durability and structure. This natural leather softens with wear while maintaining its strength, developing a rich patina over time. The more you use the sandals, the better they look and feel. Each crease and tone tells a story, giving the leather a character that's uniquely yours. It's material that improves with age, not wears out.
Copper Grounding Connection
Integrated copper grounding pins run through the sole of the sandal, creating a direct conductive connection to the earth. Copper is highly conductive and has been trusted for electrical grounding for generations. These copper elements ensure your body stays naturally grounded while walking. Subtle, durable, and functional, they're seamlessly built into the design. This is grounding, engineered into every step.
Surfaces where grounding works and doesn’t work when wearing the sandals
Grounding Sandals – FAQs
What are grounding sandals?
Grounding sandals are designed to keep you electrically connected to the Earth while you walk on natural surfaces. Our sandals use pure copper grounding points that allow the Earth’s natural charge to pass from the ground to your body — without electronics, batteries, or charging.
How do Grounding Essentials Sandals work?
Each sandal features two pure copper grounding points — one at the heel and one near the toes. When walking on conductive natural surfaces like soil, grass, sand, or concrete, these copper elements allow a direct connection between your body and the Earth.
Do the sandals work indoors?
The sandals do not ground on insulated indoor floors such as wood, laminate, tile, or carpet.
However, they can be used indoors with a grounding mat placed under your feet — making them a great option for office or home use when paired with a mat.
Do I need to wear them barefoot?
The sandals can be worn:
- Barefoot, or
- With grounding socks (such as those sold by Grounding Essentials)
Regular socks will block conductivity, so grounding socks are required if you choose to wear socks.
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, the sandals are true to size and listed in EU sizes on our website.
They feature two adjustable straps and a wide fit, making them comfortable for most foot shapes.
If you are between sizes, we generally recommend choosing your usual size.
Is there a break-in period?
Yes. The sandals feature a natural cork footbed, which gradually molds to the shape of your feet.
A break-in period is normal and can take several weeks of regular wear. Over time, the footbed becomes more comfortable and personalized to you.
What materials are the sandals made from?
Our Grounding Essentials Sandals are made with:
- Full-grain leather uppers
- A contoured natural cork footbed
- Pure copper grounding elements
All materials are chosen for durability, comfort, and everyday use.
Are the sandals suitable for all-day wear?
Yes. The combination of a wide fit, adjustable straps, supportive cork footbed, and lightweight design makes them suitable for all-day wear, whether you’re walking outdoors, traveling, or using them with a grounding mat indoors.
