Care Instructions

To clean your Droptop Mesh, 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.

For removing more stubborn stains, you can also throw your Droptop Mesh in the washing machine. You can wash your shoes by themselves in a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle with cold water. Let them air dry afterwards. Please be aware that machine washing can put a strain on colors and materials. So don’t wash your shoes like you wash your underwear.

Note: The shoes are not suitable for activities that cause a lot of friction on the sole, as this can damage the soft sole.

Too Small & Too Narrow

I bought these as a last minute replacement for my droptop knit shoes because one of them finally started developing a small hole at the bottom. I thought that since they were the same style they would fit the same regardless of material but I guess I was wrong. When I tried on these shoes I immediately noticed how small they fit, not just the toe box but the shoe entirely. So much so that it hurt like a typical non barefoot shoe would because they were too narrow. Feeling discouraged, I took them off and put them back in their box to be returned. Unfortunately now I’m stuck with the older ones with the growing hole until I can find a better replacement. I’m not sure if it’s the material that makes them feel small or because they’re the updated versions? Either way they’re a no go for me.

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your new Droptop Mesh didn’t fit as expected.

Just to clarify, we haven’t made any changes to the insole / outsole dimensions, or upper material.
However, it’s possible that your feet might need a bit more space now, especially if you’ve been wearing barefoot shoes exclusively, as feet can naturally widen over time.

It’s also worth noting that the Knit material from your previous pair tends to feel a bit more flexible and can stretch slightly over time. The Mesh material, while more breathable, is also somewhat firmer, which might explain the difference in fit.

We’d love to help you find a solution that works for you. If you could send us some pictures of the Droptop, especially the area where the hole is forming on the sole, we’d be happy to take a closer look and find a solution.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at feelgrounds.com/contact, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope we can help you find the perfect fit!

Best regards,
Janina

Really had hoped to like them.

I hoped to love these shoes since I have a pair of sandals that I basically live in. I got the same size as my sandals (which are tbh a bit small now that my feet have spread out from wearing barefoot shoes) but these have too much extra space. It’s tolerable with socks but still not comfortable to walk in, and way too hot! I tried them without socks, too, but the material just traps the heat and I feel like my feet are wrapped in plastic. Surprising since I thought the mesh would allow for airflow. I kept trying to love them, so I’ve worn them a couple times and now I can’t return them, so I guess I will find someone who can tolerate them and pass them along? Really disappointed.

Dear Jennifer,

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Droptop Mesh didn’t meet your expectations, especially since you’ve enjoyed our sandals so much.

The Droptop Mesh is designed with a breathable mesh upper, and we've received feedback from many customers who love to wear them on warmer days. However, we understand that individual needs can vary and how frustrating it can be when a shoe doesn’t fit as expected.

To help reduce sweating in the shoes, we can recommend wearing socks made from moisture-wicking materials like merino wool, bamboo, or synthetic blends designed to keep your feet dry. These types of socks help to manage moisture and prevent the buildup of sweat, keeping your feet cool and comfortable throughout the day. Merino wool, in particular, is known for its natural odor-resistant properties and excellent temperature regulation.

To help with the fit, you might consider adding an insole, which can take up some of the extra space and potentially improve comfort.
If you'd like to explore this option or if there's anything else we can do to assist, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.
We’d love to help find a solution that works for you.

Unfortunately, we can only offer a refund if the shoes are returned in new condition, with the soles still unworn. This is because new customers understandably expect their shoes to be in perfect condition when ordering from our online store. We therefore encourage our customers to try on their new shoes indoors on a clean surface while wearing socks to ensure a good fit before deciding to keep them. This way, if the shoes don’t work out, they can still be returned in a condition that allows us to offer them to another customer.

If you’d like to explore our mentioned option of adding an insole to improve the fit, please reach out to our customer service team. We’re here to help to want to make sure you’re satisfied with your experience.

Thank you again for sharing, and we appreciate your understanding.

Best regards,
Janina
