GROUNDIES® Universe Sundry Unisex Barefoot Shoes

Product Information

Our shoes are handmade from high-quality materials. They are developed further on a regular basis. Friends of walking barefoot have the choice between anatomically cut models with a slightly narrower, or wider toe box. Feel the flexibility, comfort and barefoot feel of our TrueSense® soles, with the fit of "traditional" shoes. Warmer days call for lightweight breathable shoes. Thus, you'll experience long-lasting comfort with a pleasant foot climate. Running is a different story entirely. While walking on concrete with barefoot shoes can feel normal within a few weeks (provided you walk enough), running will take a lot longer. The standard advice is to start running on soft ground for a while before you transition to pounding the pavement of your local town or city. Landing on the midfoot, as opposed to heel-first, is the key to running barefoot without injury. And then they added more colors! And Paramount! And… they just keep going, bringing different patterns and pairings for whatever you want in barefoot shoes.

Flexible material: Conventional shoes – especially hard dress shoes and high heels – do not allow our feet to bend with each step as they normally would, preventing natural walking and running movement. Has a thermal insole with built-in temperature-regulating technology that absorbs, stores and releases heatIt fits best to narrow to medium wide feet, low to average instep and can accomodate different ankles and calves. The sizing is the same as with other vivobarefoot models. Groundies barefoot shoes are pretty much always cool, but they cemented that status when they added Universe to their minimalist footwear lineup. They introduced a new sole, and a classic upper that anyone can love. Wide toe box: Toe boxes on regular shoes cram the toes into a tight space that does not match the actual shape of our feet. As we get older, our naturally splayed toes become cramped and curled by the mechanical forces being applied to them (by shoes). Over time, barefoot shoes may be able to restore your toe splay.Key features – Sizes available: UK6-14 (men’s); UK3-9 (women’s); Colours available: 4 (men’s), 5 (women’s) (some colours may be unavailable in some sizes); Other key details: Rugged sole, 100-day trial The minimalist TrueSense® sole is the core element of our barefoot shoes.

Rest assured: We too would like to see a different solution that satisfies each and every one of our customers. Unfortunately, we cannot implement this as desired at the moment, because German insolvency law gives us precise guidelines as to what we are still allowed to do and what we are not. Key features – Sizes available: EU41-48 (men’s), EU36-42 (women’s); Colours available: 4 (men’s), 5 (women’s) (some colours may be unavailable in some sizes); Other key details: glove-like fit, suited for runningI normally try to take pictures right away now, before I wear them, but I received these a few months ago and was still learning that. I’m kinda glad though, in this case, because you can clearly see the one cleaning area that might bug you (and therefore make one of the non-white models more attractive) is that the edging on the wall is textured, and it holds on to dirt easily.

For the vast majority of people, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be safe to wear barefoot shoes, but it’s important to make the transition one step at a time. If you’ve been wearing regular heeled shoes for your entire life, you won’t be able to pop on a pair of minimalist shoes and do a marathon straight away – the risk for injury is highest at the beginning, and barefoot shoe manufacturers advise that you learn to walk before you run.

Naturally, if you have a medically diagnosed foot condition, such as flat-foot or a fallen arch, or have had any kind of foot surgery, you should consult a medical professional before proceeding with the transition to wearing barefoot shoes. How long does it take to transition to barefoot shoes?
