Excellent quality and versatile

Love these boots. They are really good quality. Warm and comfortable. The colour is unique but versatile fits with casual and work wear.

Great quality, but these are not barefoot boots

Just got my pair and I'm very disappointed. While they look great and seem to have good quality, they fall short in one area that excluded them from being true barefoot shoes: THEY HAVE ARCH SUPPORT.

Yes, they have 1. A Wide to box 2. A Zero drop sole 3. Flexibility 4. Thin enough Soles (as far as boots go). But, they do not have a neutral foot bed. This is one key part of barefoot shoes that often gets overlooked in design and marketing. That's because it's probably overlooked by 90% of consumers and not a necessary feature for them, or even not preferred. I get that, I just wish FeelGrounds described this better in their product marketing so I didn't have to waste time and shipping costs buying and returning them.

WHY IT MATTERS TO ME: I started wearing barefoot shoes exclusively 5 years ago because they were the only shoe with neutral foot beds that didn't encourage my right foot to overpronate. I developed this somewhere along the way and realized as long as I wore shoes with zero arch support I was fine. I can tell when shoes have even the slightest bit of arch support because immediately after putting them on and walking a few steps my right art spasms, and I get a shooting pain up into my psoas and right hip flexor only. This still happens when I wear arch supported shoes, even after 5 years of going without them.

I totally get that having arch support is at worst a neutral feature, and usually a good thing for most consumers. Just be upfront in your marketing and don't call these barefoot shoes if they don't allow your foot so sit completely flat as they would naturally. They're flexible. They have a zero drop. They have a wide toe box. But they have arch support = they are not barefoot shoes.

Dear Dane,

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your detailed feedback! We're sorry to hear that the Patrol Winter boots didn’t meet your expectations. However, we’d like to clarify that our shoes, including the boots you received, do not have built-in arch support.

We understand how important a completely neutral footbed is, and we always aim to provide a design that stays true to barefoot principles. That being said, the included removable insole might be what caused the sensation of arch support in your case. Depending on how it sits inside the boot, it could have shifted slightly, creating an unintended lift. If you haven’t already, please try adjusting the insoles and pushing them all the way to the front of the shoe to see if that improves the feel for you.

We also received your separate email and have already responded. We hope our solution was helpful, and we truly appreciate your input. If there’s anything else we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Best regards
Sabine
