Connectd™ Grounded Slip-Ons

Grounding, also called Earthing, involves connecting your body to the Earth’s natural electrical energy. This can be done by walking barefoot outdoors or using specially designed “barefoot alternatives” that replicate the grounding effect. Products like those from Connectd utilize the ground port of home outlets or a grounding rod to link you to the Earth’s energy. With conductive materials, these items transfer the Earth’s electrons to your body when you’re in direct skin contact, promoting a natural connection to the planet.

Both refer to reconnecting the body to the Earth’s natural energy and are often used interchangeably. Some distinguish "Earthing" as direct skin contact with the ground, like walking barefoot, while "Grounding" can also refer to connecting electrical devices to prevent shocks. While this technical distinction may matter to electricians, most use either term to describe linking to the Earth for health benefits. You can reconnect outdoors or use durable Connectd products, known as “barefoot substitutes,” available on our site.

It’s quite straightforward. All grounding products are made using conductive materials that channel the Earth’s energy. For example, sleep systems use silver threading throughout the fabric. This conductivity allows the energy to flow through a grounding cord, which connects to either the ground port of an electrical outlet or a ground rod. The products are designed to be durable, safe, and available at various price points to suit different needs.

Our grounding shoes are carefully handcrafted using premium natural materials to prioritize both comfort and durability. The upper and inner layers are made from top-grade calf leather, providing a soft, breathable, and long-lasting fit. The soles are constructed from durable buffalo leather, known for its resilience, and include a copper rivet to boost conductivity for effective grounding. With a spacious toe box for natural toe splay and foot alignment, these shoes offer a harmonious blend of style, comfort, and enhanced foot health, perfect for any occasion.

We strive to process and ship orders as quickly as possible. Most orders are delivered within the estimated timeframe provided at checkout. You’ll also receive tracking information to monitor your package.

Barefoot shoes have surged in popularity recently due to their ability to support natural foot movement and overall foot health. Unlike typical shoes, which often prioritize style over function and can lead to foot issues with narrow toe boxes and rigid soles, barefoot shoes focus on preserving the natural shape and movement of the feet.

Key benefits include:

- Natural Foot Movement: Encourages proper toe splay and flexibility.
- Better Posture: Zero-drop design promotes healthy body alignment.
- Enhanced Sensory Feedback: Thin soles boost ground awareness and balance.
- Stronger Foot Muscles: Strengthens intrinsic foot muscles.
- Grounding Benefits: Conductive materials support a connection to Earth’s energy.

Explore our collection to experience the freedom and health benefits of barefoot shoes for yourself.

Yes, you can wear socks with our grounding shoes if preferred. However, for maximum grounding benefits, we recommend going barefoot to allow direct skin contact with the natural buffalo leather sole, which includes a copper rivet for enhanced conductivity. If you opt for socks, choose organic materials like cotton or hemp, as they conduct better than synthetics, which can block grounding effects. The leather’s micro pores also prevent sweat and odor, ensuring comfort. Whether barefoot or in socks, you’ll experience exceptional comfort and grounding benefits.
