Who We Are
We are a young team of innovators. Our mission is to make barefoot shoes available and appealing to more people. We launched our first sneakers model in April 2019 on Indiegogo and raised over $250,000 due to the massive support of our amazing backers. Feelgrounds was funded within 48 hours. We're planning to expand our range of models and styles in the future, while continually striving to build better footwear.
Let's make barefoot shoes cool!
