Looking for shoes to help you get grounded? Check out Get Grounded Footwear, which has just released its first “mobile grounding product” (a.k.a., shoes) with women’s Groundals.

Grounding ~ or earthing, as it’s also known ~ is an ancient science founded on the belief that people who place non-conductive barriers between themselves and the ground lack the healing power of the Earth’s energy.  While our natural state is grounded, modern-day habits insulate us from the Earth’s energy.

“The practice of grounding is not widely understood, but if you’ve walked barefoot, you’ve grounded yourself without realizing it,” said Dean Richards, co-founder of Get Grounded Footwear

Recent studies have produced exciting, compelling evidence that being grounded has a significantly positive effect on the human body. However, until now, grounding has been limited to expensive industrial niche products with no stylish, affordable, fully-conductive option.  Over the past four years, Richards and co-founder/designer Sandra Sidwell researched grounding with the mission of making it an affordable, practical lifestyle for the mainstream market.

“When haven’t you said ‘I’m stressed’ or ‘I can’t sleep’?” asked Justin Donoghue, chief operating officer.  “Modern living has distanced us from nature.  At Get Grounded Footwear, we look forward to helping bridge that gap, demonstrating the health, wellness and lifestyle benefits of grounding to consumers around the world.”

Launch of the first men’s product, the Ion Man slip-on sandal, is expected soon, along with a wider variety of women’s colors and styles.
