[Ad-gifted] I am not sure if you have heard of this or not but grounding is something that has become a lot more popular over the past few years, with the increase in wellness being a key focus, especially during and after the pandemic. There has been much more focus on natural wellness with the rise of ice baths, Wim Hoff and his famous breathing techniques and now it seems grounding isn’t far behind.
Grounding involves your bare feet being in contact with the earth and it’s believed the benefits can include, better sleep, reduced inflammation, cell and tissue repair
You are essentially using your feet and the earth as a way to recharge your batteries and help with your mental and physical state. But walking totally barefoot isn’t everyone’s cup of tea – this is where our next review might come in handy if you want to feel some of the benefits without actually having your feet on the dirt. We have been sent a pair of Earth Runners sandals from a British wellness company called Grounded Wellness – that allow the wearer to be earthed or grounded whilst wearing shoes. Keep reading to see what I thought of them.
What I thought of Earth Runners
Opening the box you will see and possibly think, wow, that’s a thin shoe and there isn’t much of it! But that’s the point – these are supposed to connect you with the ground and have minimal strapping and thin soles so that you easily can achieve it when wearing them.
I had my doubts about how comfortable they would be at first glance – well to my surprise they are perfect and when I read about them being used as hiking sandals, I couldn’t quite get my head around it until I had tried them on – these would be a perfect swap for a big heavy clunky sandal – you are much closer to the ground allowing your feet to distinguish the nooks and crannies in the ground giving you much more stability.
I love these grounding shoes as they are not only great for the barefoot community but they also look stylish – which is one of the struggles I have found when looking for the perfect barefoot/grounding shoe.
These not only look great with joggers and jeans they would work well with a dress – and what’s more, they come in enough colours for men to appreciate them too.

These sandals are cool, and you like them during the walking. There are trends now that promote the shoes with flat surfaces, the more contact to the earth our feet have, the better it is.
Absolutely and I have enjoyed reviewing them and can see myself wearing them all the time
I’m very interested in trying these sandals. I love sandals, but mine usually wear out so quickly. These seem really durable.
Yes they seem durable and well made
These sandals are awesome and perfect for the scorching heat we’ve been experiencing…Great recommendation.
Thanks Karen, yes great to take with you on holidays or during the summer
Grounding is fascinating! Using Earth Runners sandals for grounding sounds like a great way to reap the benefits without going barefoot. Can’t wait to hear your review!
Thank you and hope you get a pair yourself as well
Sounds like a great shoe but I also love the minimalistic design and the grounding approach is really interesting to read up on! Thanks for sharing about this brand and your experience with their products 😀
You are welcome Tammy, I love my sandals
The concept is simple yet powerful: connecting your bare feet with the earth. This practice is believed to offer numerous benefits, including better sleep, reduced inflammation, and enhanced cell and tissue repair. Grounding is a natural, accessible way to boost overall well-being, aligning perfectly with the current wellness movement.
It is a simple concept of being close to nature and many of us have forgotten about it
I am sure that the earth runners sandals will be a very successful product in the UK market. It looks premium!
It absolutely is and I know for sure it will market well here
Walking barefoot is something that just scares me! I feel like I could cut up my foot – so these sound like a nice alternative. I like the simple design.
So glad you like the design, yes this is a great alternative as you feel so close to the ground
Earthrunner sandals look very comfortable, and they’re minimalist yet stylish. They seem perfect for me.
Yes they are super comfy and make great sandals
