I work in a restaurant setting (cafe) so I am on my feet ALOT, I have wide feet and have hereditary bunions so most shoes are very uncomfortable. I got these (the black and white faux leather shoes that look like Nike pandas) cause they work with my dress code at work and let me tell you,
I’ve had them on all of 5 minutes after working all day and my feet couldn’t be happier.
I also got the cork insoles and the toe socks, they definitely make a difference.
Will absolutely be recommending this brand, purchasing more in the future, and if I’m being honest probably get more toe socks!
I purchased two pairs each of the Droptop Knit shoes and the Cork Insoles. Both are very well made and extremely comfortable!! They fit perfectly and are very durable. I have wider feet as well as heel spurs and these shoes made a world of difference to the comfort of my feet. I love my shoes and plan to purchase additional colors of the same style in the near future. I also plan to try other styles as well. Highly recommend!!!!!
I bought a pair of 'Patrol Winter' boots a few months ago. I like these boots, but unfortunately, I rarely wear them. One reason is because they are too difficult to get on and off. Even with the laces pulled open as far as possible it's not easy to slip a foot in. Also... no finger loop on the back of the boot to assist with the process. I think they are cool boots, but they need changes to make them more convenient to get into.
Hi John,
Thank you so much for your feedback – we're really glad to hear that you like the Patrol Winter boots!
We understand the challenges with putting on and taking off the boots. To help with this, we've added an elastic lacing system called 'Click & Go' to our product range. It's available in the Accessories section of our shop and is fully compatible with our Patrol styles. It offers a convenient and stylish solution to make slipping into your boots easier and more enjoyable.
As for your feedback regarding the finger loop at the back of the boot – thank you for pointing that out! We're happy to share that we've since implemented this feature in the updated version of the Patrol Winter boots, and the improved model is already available in our shop.
Thanks again for helping us improve!
Best regards,
Sabine
Ho ordinato un paio di Courtside Canvas verdi e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto dallo stile, dalla comodità e dalla qualità. Li uso da quasi un mese e mi trovo molto bene!...Consigliate!
Feelgrounds are an excellent ethical barefoot company. The footwear is super comfortable and the ground feel is perfect. High quality and stylish. Customer service is awesome and I couldn't recommend them high enough
It's honestly messed up how good these shoes are. I've got the Dropknot Knit plimmies and the Chukka boots and it feels like an insane decision to wear anything else!
Great customer service as well! I was struck with double bad luck with packages going missing and Feelgrounds sent out a new shipment no problem.
I can't speak highly enough about these shoes or this company. I love that a barefoot shoes company has finally made barefoot shoes that look really cool!
Also, when I had an issue with one of my pairs the customer service was exceptional. They helped me out so much and I appreciate all the work they do!
10/10
I've been buying their products for a few years now (boots, sandals, sneakers), and up until recently, I had never had any issues. That changed with my latest order, where, after a few months, I experienced a problem with the product. I reached out to customer service and explained the situation in detail, including photos and how I had been storing the shoes.
To my surprise, they got back to me within just a few hours, asking for a bit more information and immediately offering a solution. They also specifically asked for a photo of the label inside the tongue so they could check the entire production batch—proof that they truly care about their product and their customers.
This will be my fifth pair of Feelgrounds shoes, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. :)
Este será mi 5º par de calzados FeelGrounds, y espero que pronto sean más :).
It’s my second order here and my second barefoots as well. I love that they don’t look weird (they actually look cool) and made my transition to barefoot shoes painless.
Also, customer care is excellent. Even though I had some delivery issue (because I didn’t put my phone number), Sabine was in touch with carrier and reached out to me, so my worries were all gone. I got the second pair today and I’m really happy with them. Big thanks to her and all the team!
I was kind of skeptical because I’ve only owned ‘regular’ shoes before but as soon as I put these on I was shocked, my toes like actually have space now… Even with a roomier toe area, the shoe still feels very secure to my foot and despite the thinness on the bottoms, they are very comfy! Granted it’s only been 1 day of owning them but I’m really enjoying the shoes so far. I do wish they had more colors, but otherwise 10/10!
The shoes are decent but you better hope you get the right size and you better hope you like it. Otherwise you’re out 50% of your purchase. Even less if you repurchase. Their return policy is HORRENDOUS. 0/10 vivobarefoot, hell, even Amazon whitin are way better.
Dear Said,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We truly understand your concerns regarding our return shipping policy, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration this has caused.
Like many companies, we face costs for both shipping and returns. In an effort to maintain transparency, we have decided to separate these costs rather than include them in our product prices. This approach allows us to be upfront and encourages customers to make informed decisions when purchasing.
For full transparency, our shipping and return policies are available on our website and can be reviewed before placing an order. Additionally, when returning an entire order, the original shipping costs are always refunded. In this case, the only cost to cover is the return shipping, for which we offer a discounted return label that can be selected when registering the return.
If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out via feelgrounds.com/contact—we’re happy to assist!
Best regards,
Sabine
I’ve been shopping for the “it” pair of Chelsea boots everywhere* for the last few years. Ended up acquiring a relatively pricey brand about two years ago. While the shoe is stylish, I noticed that at the end of the day my feet would be aching from fatigue given its bulky soles… not to mention the bunions I got when breaking in. Enter my black FG Chelsea boot, which I wore to work for the first time today: speechless! My feet are “happy feet,” I have zero exhaustion and not a single bunion in sight. I look forward to purchasing the same boot in two other colors and hope to keep them long-term, for as long as they allow me to. Thanks FG!
Very comfy winter option. The all black version is simple and easy to style. I'm still adapting myself to the fact that the shoe is very "flat" and wide in its form when I compare it to my standard shoes. But that's the basic idea of barefoot shoes. I'm just still getting used to it.
Great fit, very light, especially for winter shoes, comfortable and stylish
I opted for the Winter Patrol (older/previous model). They are extremely warm and comfortable and the materials feel good quality.
Bought a pair of Chelsea boots, my first pair of Feelgrounds. I was expecting to have to do some walking with them before they were comfortable, but they were super comfortable from first try. Very warm but without making my feet too hot or sweaty. My feet are 24 cm long and I ordered the size 38 and they fit perfectly even with thick socks. They look very stylish as well and don’t make me feel like I’m wearing clown shoes. I wear them all day, everyday, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
This was my 1st purchase of barefoot shoes.
I have been thinking about it for a long time. I’m very happy with my shoes and delighted to have found a company with vegan products
I have several pairs, Seaside Twill being my favorite, as a summer person! I love the comfort, the elegant designs, the environment and animal friendly materials and the amazing overall experience of shopping at Feelgrounds. My orders always arrive fast and so far everything has been perfect!
I now have multiple pairs of Feelgrounds (Chelseas are my favorites!!) and I love all of them, especially the models with vegan leather. I am so happy to have wide toe box minimalist shoes that tick every box for me!
I have recently purchased my second pair of Chelsea boots as the first have proven so comfortable. I wear the boots all day in a job that requires quite a lot of standing and they are so comfortable. Love these.
I recently got a pair of the winter boots in tan color and I’ve been reaching for them the most this winter season. I have 3 or 4 other brands which are also a decent product but FGs are top tier. I got my mom a pair and she says her knee pain goes away when she wears them. I’m encouraging her to look into some FG sneakers.
My recent feedback which I was asked to share: "I'd like to take the opportunity to commend you and the company on your excellent customer service. I have bought three pairs of shoes from you in the last couple of years, and each time the service has been outstanding”.
I'm extremely pleased with the shoes I got. They look lovely and are very comfortable. I'll be buying again!
I originally saw this brand last year in 2024 and I finally got them. I bought a pair of boots and a pair of sneakers and I am in love with them. I love how they don’t make my feet hurt or make my feet feel smooshed. I’ve been looking for shoes like this forever, and I’m gonna buy from this brand constantly now. 😭💜🥹
Very comfortable and wearable shoes. Great customer service. Keep up the good work.
