Grounding Shoes

Grounding shoes are barefoot-style footwear built with a conductive material — typically copper or a conductive leather sole — embedded into the bottom of the shoe, designed to maintain an electrical connection to the earth's surface charge while you walk on it, just as bare feet would on grass, sand, or soil. They solve a problem that no indoor grounding product can: the vast majority of waking hours most people spend outside the home, in standard rubber-soled shoes that fully insulate the body from the ground, regardless of how good a bedroom or desk grounding setup might be. A grounding sheet covers your sleep. A grounding mat covers your desk. Grounding shoes cover everything in between — the walk to your car, the school run, the grocery run, a full day on your feet at work. GroundingMatrix lists grounding shoes from brands that disclose what conductive material is used in the sole and how it maintains contact with natural, conductive ground surfaces, since a grounding shoe only functions on grass, dirt, sand, or concrete with ground contact — not on insulated indoor flooring, carpet, or asphalt that's been sealed or coated.
