There are many barefoot shoes that have either conductive materials for grounding, or full leather soles. Here are a few options:

Oh this was my next question!! (Barefoot + Earthing). Thank you.
What do you think about Moccasins Canada? Maybe not big enough of a toe box?
I’ve never tried them myself but the photos look pretty narrow in the toe box to me.
This link isn’t working for me. Not sure what the issue is.
Right now the Shoe Finder doesn’t like Chrome. We are working with a developer to get it figured out, but I would try opening it in another browser.
Hi Anya,
What would you suggest the main reasons are for most barefoot manufacturers not incorporating earthing/grounding plugs, (or similar solutions), into the design of their shoes?
I’m struggling to understand why Vivobarefoot, Lems, Xero, and some of the other big players don’t seem to offer any such models to the community, while the handful of brands you mention above… do!
I welcome your thoughts on this. Thanks.
I think this concept is still fairly niche, even more niche than barefoot shoes. From the research I’ve seen I’m not seeing a clear connection between natural movement and grounding shoes, so I think that’s a big reason why. It may have other health benefits, but barefoot shoe brands currently focus a lot more on the movement part of it.
Hi Anya,
What about Earth Harmony? I’m really looking forward to your thoughts on this brand.
Earthing Harmony shoes are the same as what you get from Aintap FeelBarefoot. So you can refer to my Aintap review for my review on those shoes.
I would like to caution against Earthing Harmony. I ordered a pair of shoes from them in November 2025, they didn’t fit, so I returned them. They had me fill out a form online (after offering me a discount on an exchange instead, which I declined) and ship the shoes back at my own expense. Today is February 24 and they have still not refunded me. They keep sending emails offering discounts on exchanges despite my requests for a refund. The other day, I got an email from them saying they had received the shoes and all I had to do was fill out the form and they would process the refund. The same form I filled out the first time. Super annoying but I thought, fine, I’ll just fill it out again. This time though, the form says I’m too late, I’ve missed the refund window. So I emailed them saying I did fill this out a month ago, and got a new email where they are saying I need to send the shoes back and another offer of a discount on an exchange. This company definitely seems like a scam.
I am just seeing this now, but thank you for sharing this. I’ll be keeping an ear out to see if others have had similar experiences.
