Love these Kicks!

I have been getting Feelgrounds for 2-3 years! Every year I get a couple more as they add to the inventory. They were my first wide toe box barefoot shoes and they are still my favorite. These courtside classics are my new favorite! They are so stylish, I’ve received so many compliments!!! I actually want like two more variations of this style 🤣 Aside from style, I started wearing wide toe box shoes after suffering with plantar fasciitis for 8 years and then rupturing my plantar fascia on my right foot, originally I was told by traditional ortho to wear Hoka’s to give my foot support, but they pinched my toes up so badly, and my foot wouldn’t heal! It wasn’t until I wore wide toe box, worked on rehabbing my foot with neurofeedback and strengthening with PT that I have healed my foot WITHOUT surgery! I am a lifetime customer! Additionally, the shipping- top notch, the first time I ordered a few years ago, I had to wait 2 weeks, which I am not complaining because I am in the USA, but this last time, I got them in like 4 days! I am so impressed!! Thanks everyone at Feelgrounds, I hope y’all can become more and more mainstream, because there are so many people that do not understand the importance of minimalist/wide toe box shoes and it is easier to convince them with these stylish kicks!! Last thing I want to mention-I am a Nurse Practitioner and mention them to all my plantar fasciitis patients!

Love them.

My first pair of barefoot shoes were Vibrams 5 Fingers and after feeling the toe freedom and my bunion started to be corrected my normal sneakers were becoming more painful to wear. I really wanted a fashionable pair of shoes that didn’t squeeze my toes. I bought a pair of “fashionable” boots from another barefoot shoe company and was extremely disappointed with the manufacturing quality they were cheaply made and badly shaped. Then my Feel Grounds Courtside Classic arrived and they were so luxurious in comparison. The manufacturing quality is top notch, the shape, the stitching, the feel of them they feel like they were made with love. They're sooooo comfortable and super flexible which is actually next level performance for myself as a dancer. I only have them a month now so I can’t speak on longevity and durability but I absolutely love them. The sole grip is no more or less than any other tennis/skater shoe so don’t expect high grip from shoes that aren’t designed for that. My feet feel hugged when I put them on. I bought the cork insoles too which feel lovely under the feet, and the wide toe socks that are made with 80% organic cotton I swear you can feel the difference. As someone with high sensitivity/neurodivergence I’m really attuned to the quality of fabrics against my skin and the socks feel amazing. Highly, highly recommend!

Poor grip sole

The overall quality of the shoe its very good with a perfect fit for me, not being excessively wide. And it has the flexibility you expect in a good barefoot shoe.
The only problem I am having with these is the sole's grip. As soon as it's wet weather the sole lost all grip. It became very dangerous to wear in wet concrete. And i am talking about strong humidity not even rain.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your detailed feedback—we’re thrilled to hear that the overall quality and fit are working well for you!

We’re sorry to hear about the issue with grip on wet surfaces. While our barefoot shoes prioritize flexibility and comfort, we understand that grip can be a concern in certain conditions.

Your feedback is invaluable for helping us improve, and we’ll make sure to share it with our product team. Thank you again!

Best regards,
Christin
