Feelgrounds Reviews 39

I bought a pair of the Feelgrounds Chelsea boots (Sienna) back in december 2025.. in the span of roughly 4 months - the boots begun falling apart and are showing strong signs of wear. In my opinion, these are signs of poor quality materials. A boot should not break down this quickly, and such a degradation in 4 months is really unacceptable.

I wore the boots throughout the winter months, and in a short time defects began appearing - e.g. separation between the upper & the sole, cracking in the leather upper, cracking around the stitching, and peeling of the leather near to the sole. I have sent several emails to Feelgrounds, along with photos and the order confirmation, but I have not yet heard anything back.

I am quite disappointed in the poor quality of the boots, especially because otherwise, they are confortable and look nice.

Can someone from Feelgrounds please tell me how I can get an exchange/refund for my boots? I would like to get an exchange for the boots quickly, if not I will start looking at other brands.

I always consult with the staff before buying, and they respond quickly and helpfully. One pair later from 2022… I now have four. The shoes are reasonably priced, so I don’t mind the higher shipping fees (not their fault I live in Japan). I just close one eye at checkout. 🫣

If you have wide feet, want healthier and stronger feet, or just love your feet that you think they deserve a more room, get yourself a pair… and good luck stopping at one.

I am updating my previous feedback to highlight the outstanding professional response I received from Feelgrounds. After experiencing significant delivery issues with CTT Express, Feelgrounds stepped in and resolved the situation in less than 12 hours.

From the very first interaction, their team demonstrated impeccable professionalism. They immediately launched an internal investigation to track the package and, showing a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction, offered to ship a replacement pair via a different courier at no additional cost. Although the replacement wasn't ultimately necessary as the original issue was solved, the proactive gesture speaks volumes about their integrity.

I would like to extend a special thanks to Viviana. Her assistance was flawless; she was efficient, empathetic, and highly professional throughout the process.

It is rare to find a company that backs the high quality of its barefoot footwear with such reliable support. This experience has solidified my trust in them. Feelgrounds is, in my opinion, the leader in the barefoot industry—not just for their designs, but for their accountability. I will certainly be purchasing from them again.

The best barefoot in terms of style and the feelings. I tried different brand for many years, but feelgrounds is my top choice.

Also today I made a mistake in choosing the delivery method and asked them to change it and was ready to pay for it. The customer service changed the delivery to required one and didnt ask for extra fee.

Thanks feelgrounds

I don't typically write reviews, but this is such a good product that I made an exception.

I was first drawn to Feelgrounds after seeing them recommended by Squat University for their commitment to foot health. After comparing them to similar products, Feelgrounds stood out for offering a wide toe box without sacrificing aesthetics. At first, I was skeptical about how the wider design looked on my feet, but I was very used to narrow shoes. After wearing the Highrise Knit and Patrol Winter for a few days, the comfort completely won me over. It felt like my feet could finally breathe.

The quality of the shoes has exceeded my expectations. They’re durable, flexible, easy to clean, very functional, and versatile. I’ve enjoyed them so much that I’ve been gradually updating my shoe collection to Feelgrounds to cover every occasion. Thus far I've tried the Highrise Knit, Patrol Winter, Move, Original Knit, and Original Luxe, and I’m eagerly waiting for the Courtside Classic.

The only small drawback is that the workout shoes (Move) aren’t ideal for long-distance running or sprinting. If you’re looking for a wide toe box and zero-drop running shoe, these might not be the best fit. For everything else in the gym, the Move are fantastic, I recommend them 100%.

One additional note is about sizing. While the Feelgrounds chart is generally reliable, I found that over time my feet seemed to adapt to the wider toe box, and going up one size worked better for me. On my third purchase, two pairs felt tight around the pinky toe, even though the chart showed I was in the correct size and my previous orders had fit well. My advice is to use both sizing tools that Feelgrounds provides and, if possible, measure the width of your feet to ensure the best fit. I learned that the shoe should fit and feel comfortable from day one.

When I ran into this sizing issue, I contacted customer service and they really went above and beyond and made me an even bigger fan of the brand.

With that said, customer service deserves special mention, specifically Carolin. Although I couldn’t fully exchange one pair since I had worn them outside, working with Carolin completely eased my frustration and concern about a financial loss. She was patient, considerate, and understanding, doing everything within her control to find a fair solution. Despite the time zone difference (I’m in the U.S.), she communicated clearly and in good time, and made what could have been a stressful experience very reassuring. Going further, she really took the time and energy to work with me in resolving an issue by explaining the potential factor that resulted in needed a different shoe size than previous orders, offering resolutions for the worn shoes, and easing my mind about returning the unworn shoes.

Overall, my advice is to try your Feelgrounds just make sure to measure the length and width of your feet, don’t hesitate to reach out to their customer service team for support, test them inside only, and expect for them to fit like a glove from the get-go. I'll be returning for the Droptop Luxe.

Awful customer service, awful delivery partner.

Such a shame for a company with good products. No delivery notice, no electronic communication, after failed delivery attempt returned to sender. Despite reaching out to CS team and advising of the situation they received package back and then cancelled but charged me for delivery because I didn't respond to an email within 36 hours stating I wanted the package, even though I already told them I wanted it and had paid for it. Loyal customer for over 5 years, bought 6+ pairs of shoes from them. What a disgrace.

I am impressed by Feelgrounds support in terms of product quality, email support, and even the fact they respond to customers here on trustpilot says a lot about how much they care and their level of customer awareness and respect.

I was super excited when I first found about FeelGrounds, they were the shoes I were dreaming of. Vegan barefoot shoes, what could go wrong? I ordered first the sneakers, didn't last more than a six months. I gave them review and recieved another pair. They lasted a bit longer, but not more than a year. I also bought the winter boots, which actually broke today, didn't last a year.
So in a nutshell:
Pros
-Looks great
-Vegan
-Feels nice
Cons:
-Shit quality
-Wont last a year

I own two pairs of Feelgrounds shoes and was initially very happy with the comfort and style. However, after just three months of occasional wear of my 2nd pair of Patrol Winter - Sand, the sole started to separate on my right shoe, which was surprising and disappointing.

That said, Feelgrounds' customer service was outstanding in terms of speed and quality of response. I contacted them and they responded immediately, offering a replacement without any hassle. I especially appreciate how quickly they resolved the issue.

I have 8 pairs of Feelgrounds shoes and my experience has been positive and rewarding. Over the years, I have worn shoes from many barefoot brands, and for me, Feelgrounds shoes are the most comfortable, the best looking and the most durable. The journey to barefoot shoe bliss has been a long one but my feet appreciate it!

The original Feelgrounds sole material did seem to wear out more quickly than expected, but the company revamped the sole manufacturing last year and most of it's products now have the new sole. My experience of wearing Feelground shoes most days is that the shoes are durable, lightweight and comfortable. There is plenty of room for my toes to stretch.

I purchased my first pair pair of Feelgrounds in 2023, and I loved them. In fact I enjoyed wearing them so much I have since bought a variety of shoe styles and colours.

Feelground shoes are very streetwise and cool whilst staying true to all the requirements of Barefoot shoes. It is my experience that the company is very ethical and they also appreciate their customers. They are always researching new materials and coming out with new styles.

Feelgrounds are now my favourite brand of Barefoot shoes by a long way. If you are looking for a reliable supplier of super comfortable, cool looking barefoot shoes I have no hesitation in recommending Feelgrounds.

I've placed two orders so far, both for my mother. One of the orders was a pre-order (Patrol model — waterproof and highly recommended), and the shoes arrived just a couple of weeks later than promised (a delay which was communicated in advance). The customer support team is very friendly, polite and helpful.

The shoes feel great (according to my mom) and they fit true to size. In comparison with Vivobarefoot shoes, they are not as long (which is a GOOD thing), so I’ll buy a pair for myself in the future too. Looking forward to their releasing sandals!

Although my review is for the German .de website, it's the exact same company as the .com website.
