Description

The Original Knit combines all the benefits of a barefoot shoe with a sleek and stylish look. Its knit upper comes with a slightly water-repellent treatment, which makes this model a great all-round sneaker. The spacious toe box respects the shape of your feet, and our flexible sneaker sole allows your foot to move as it is supposed to.

This model features our improved sole material for increased durability. Read more about the sole update on our blog.

Materials

All materials and dyes tested to EU REACH standards: recycled PET (upper, laces, lining), recyclable rubber (sole), microfiber (heel lining)

Measurements

Weight per shoe: 260 g / 9.2 oz (Size US W11.5/M10), Sole thickness / stack height: 5 mm / 0.2 in

If you are a barefoot shoe beginner, consider inserting one of our insoles (available separately in our online store).

Care Instructions

To clean your Original Knit, remove all loose dirt with a soft shoe brush. If necessary, go in with a clean, soft brush to apply some lukewarm water and a mild cleaning solution. Wipe any excess product with a moist cloth. Air dry at room temperature after cleaning or when the shoes get wet.

Make sure to regularly renew the water-repellent treatment, using a waterproofing spray. For best performance, we also recommend spraying them before you first wear them.

The Original Knit is not machine washable, as this removes its water-repellent properties and might cause the upper material to lose its shape.

Loved my original pair, new pair longer than original pair

My new Feelgrounds were just delivered, and I excitedly tried them on, only to find that they're longer(by about a half inch) than my original pair(purchased in 2020). My original pair fit perfectly, but these feel sloppy, so I'm very disappointed.
I was very pleased with my original pair, regarding fit, and durability, and was looking forward to the same from my new pair.

Hello Lou,

Thank you for reaching out, and we’re really sorry to hear that your new Feelgrounds don’t fit as expected. We completely understand your disappointment, especially since you were so pleased with your original pair.

Since 2020, there has been a slight adjustment to the sole design. The new version features a slightly wider and more naturally shaped toe box to allow for even more splay, which may explain the difference in fit. You can find more details about these changes on our blog here: feelgrounds.com/new

We’d love to help make things right for you. I would recommend visiting our sizing page at feelgrounds.com/sizing, which includes detailed measurements, instructions on how to measure your feet, and a printable Size Guide PDF. Once you’ve determined your size, you can trust that the outsole is consistent across all our sneaker models. Any minor variations in fit are due to differences in the upper material or design. These details are included in the sizing information provided for each style.

Here’s how you can check if a smaller size might work for you. The Original Knit tends to run slightly larger because the upper material is more stretchy compared to, for example, our Original Mesh or Original Luxe. Maybe a different model would be a better choice for you? If you need any help with the selection, feel free to reach out!

If you decide to return your order, you can easily do so through our return portal: feelgrounds.com/return

The cost of return shipping will need to be covered by you. You can choose to use our return label for a fee of 15 USD, which will be deducted from your refund.

If you return all items from your order, we will refund the original shipping costs along with the value of the returned items.

And if you'd like to order an exchange pair, feel free to email us via feelgrounds.com/contact, and we'll find a solution for you!

Kind regards,
Viviana

Great shoes

I’m very happy with these shoes. It’s hard to keep it white as it for any white shoes. You can feel well the ground, but are protected well from the gravels etc. Recommend!
