Now, it's not just that Grounded Footwears shoes were the best by an inch, they were actually best by a mile.

Realistcly the majority the barefoot shoes myself and the other testers tried just sucked.


And when you're constantly testing out rubbish products the diamonds in the rough stand out more then ever.

And that diamond was the barefoot shoes by Grounded Footwear.

Here's why:

Doctor Recommended & Proven Design

The more pairs of barefoot shoes I tried the more I realized most designs were just guess work.

These shoes have been approved by Orthopedists to actually be good for not only your feet but also your legs.

Recommended by doctors due to the pressure relief for both feet and joints that these shoes provide.

As someone whos been wearing shoes all my life (most likely much like you) trust me when I say I noticed a world of difference after just a few days of wearing these.

They Just Look Like Normal Shoes

This was a big one for me particularly, I didn't want my chosen pair of barefoot shoes to be screaming out at people as I walked past.

In an ideal world no one would even take a second glance or question if they were barefoot shoes, and these turned out to provide that ideal scenario.

They might look completely normal (in-fact I actually like the style of them) but I've worn them out on all kind of occasions:

• Hiking
• Work
• Gym
• Running

It's safe to say they're multi purpose.
‍

Durable Construction

Construction is the only work suitable for the quality and durability of these shoes, they're built to be as tough as a concrete slab but as lightweight as a feather.

With 70% less weight then regular shoes, paired with their insane durability (we tested it) and anti slip traction they are as tough as they come.

Testing involved:

✔ Hiking up a mountain (a literal mountain)
✔ Training for and completing a full marathon
✔ Daily wear
‍

Noticable Pain Relief

In a very short amount of time the pain alleviation is noticeable.

Sore joints, feet, hip, back, or knees like myself actually benefit from barefoot shoes.

These grounded footwear strengthens foot and leg muscles, promoting a natural stride that alleviates pain.

A big playing factor is this is the wide toe box and flexible sole, enabling your feet to actually sit how they were designed to and not be constantly scrunched up by regular shoes.

But here's the kicker...

While many barefoot shoe companies charge in the hundreds of dollars, often for shoes that haven't actually been designed by Orthopedists, these ones are genuienly affordable.

And right now, they're running a limited-time offer that makes them even cheaper to buy then your standard pair of sneakers. (This makes it a bit of a no brainer)

Best part? You're totally covered by their "30-Day Guarantee". If you dont like them and arn't feeling the different in your feet and joints (I'm sure you will be) then you're more then welcome to return them with no questions asked.

Bottom line? If you want:

• Orthopedist designed & recommended by Doctors
• Great looking barefoot shoes
• Relieved joint and foot pain
• Premium quality without the premium pricing

...then Grounded Footwear's barefoot shoes is it.

They're selling out fast (again), so grab yours while it's still on sale.
