No leather

The shoes are divine on the feet. You can't feel them at all. I didn't get any blisters or blisters. They're great for the rain, as they don't get wet. The only thing that makes me sad is that they're not leather. My feet start to sweat over time, and I get cold feet. Luckily, I ordered insoles right from the start. And don't worry: if you use insoles, the shoe size doesn't decrease. I would buy them again if they were leather.

Hi Carmen,

Thank you so much for your review and for sharing your experience!

We’re really happy to hear that the shoes felt divine on your feet, caused no blisters, and kept you dry in the rain – that’s exactly what we aim for.

We understand your feedback about the material. At Feelgrounds, we’ve made the conscious decision to keep all our products 100% vegan. We want to manufacture our footwear as responsibly as possible, which is why we avoid the use of animal-derived materials and opt instead for high-quality synthetic and recycled alternatives.

That said, we know that breathability is key to comfort – especially during long wear. If you’re looking for a more breathable option, we’d recommend taking a look at our Original Mesh model. It's made from a lightweight, airy fabric (almost entirely from recycled materials) and offers great ventilation.

Thanks again for your honest input – we truly appreciate it and hope to see you again soon!

Warm regards,
Carolin

Great style and comfort, but a bit sweaty

I got the white pair and they look super stylish. Easy to clean and incredibly comfortable, with plenty of toe space. I own barefoot shoes from three brands, and these are my favorite. My foot is 25.5 cm and size 40 fits perfectly. The only downside is that the material doesn’t breathe, so my feet tend to sweat a bit.

Hi Alise,

Thank you so much for your great feedback—we’re thrilled to hear that your Feelgrounds are your favorite barefoot shoes and that you're happy with the style, fit, and comfort!

We appreciate your note about breathability. While the material offers durability and easy cleaning, we understand that it may not be as breathable as other options. That’s a very helpful point, and we’ll gladly pass it along to our product team as we continue to improve.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!

Best regards,
Carolin

My shoes arrived with black scuffs on them, i am disappointed as i had to pay so much for shipping only to receive shoes that look used..
