What are barefoot shoes?
Barefoot shoes, also called minimalist shoes, are shoes that allow the foot to move naturally. They give you the feeling of walking barefoot while still protecting your foot from injury and dirt.
At Feelgrounds, we have made it our mission to develop shoes that allow for a natural gait while still looking stylish.

Herkömmliche Schuhe laufen in der Regel nach vorne hin unnatürlich spitz zu und haben eine dicke, steife Sohle mit Absatz. Dies kann auf Dauer zu gesundheitlichen Problemen führen.Für viele Menschen bieten Barfußschuhe Linderung und langfristige Verbesserung bei bestehenden Problemen wie Knieschmerzen, Rückenschmerzen oder Hallux valgus.Wer seine Füße durch Training und das Tragen von Barfußschuhen (oder barfuß gehen) stärkt, kann seine Körperhaltung verbessern und Schmerzen und Verletzungen vorbeugen.Toe freedom
Sufficient space thanks to a natural shoe shape
Ordinary footwear can squeeze and deform the toes, which can lead to pain and discomfort such as hallux valgus or claw toes.
A shoe with an anatomically shaped toe box provides your toes with enough space to spread. This allows the toes to fulfill their function and stabilize the entire body.
“Zero-drop”
Flat sole with zero drop for a natural and upright posture
High heels alter your posture by shifting your body weight forward. In the long term, this can lead to back or postural problems, chronic shortening of the calf muscles, and restricted ankle mobility.
Wearing a permanently molded, artificial footbed deprives the feet of their ability to support themselves, which can weaken the foot muscles. This is similar to how wearing a splint or cast for an extended period weakens other parts of the body.
A shoe where the heel and forefoot are on the same plane leads to a more natural posture and better body alignment.
This, combined with strengthened foot muscles, can be the crucial solution for foot pain, knee pain, hip pain, or back pain.
FEELGROUNDS
And you forget that you're wearing shoes.
Thin, light, flexible
It feels like walking barefoot.
Shoes with thick, stiff soles restrict the natural rolling motion of the foot and the sensory feedback from the ground. This can lead to poorer balance and a higher risk of injury.
Furthermore, walking or standing in heavy, inflexible shoes can cause fatigue, muscle tension, and pain.
Barefoot shoes with a thin and flexible sole allow you to feel the ground beneath your feet and adjust your movements accordingly. This ground feedback reduces, among other things, the risk of ankle sprains.
The flexibility of a shoe is crucial for a natural gait, allowing your foot to flex, roll, and balance. The shoes' feather-light weight gives the feeling of walking barefoot.
