Best Grounding Shoes of 2020
Our body draws energy from the earth. With every step we take, our feet extract the energy, and it is transmitted throughout our body. However, as most of the footwear we use are made with synthetic materials, we block the energy our body would normally get from the earth.
WHAT IS GROUNDING?
Also referred to as earthing, grounding is a theory that refers to the use of natural material for footwear which allows us to stay grounded. No, not in the sense that our heads get too big. In the sense that it allows the energy from the earth to flow in from our feet, without the material blocking transmission. It allows you to get energy from a natural source which can ultimately lead to a healthier life.
THE BEST GROUNDING SHOES ARE INSOLES
Orgone Ener-Soles are a great way to get the benefit of grounding shoes in all of your footwear for a fraction of the cost.

THE BENEFITS OF EARTHING
The concept of earthing and using earth's natural energy is becoming more and more popular as many companies have started to use more natural materials to make shoes, sandals, and other footwear.
Environment
Electrons from the earth can effectively neutralize positively charged free radicals that can cause us chronic inflammation. For this to be possible, the earthing shoes must be made from completely natural materials. This helps ensure that the electrons have a more direct path to our bodies. They are also very environmentally friendly because they do not contain any synthetic components.
Protection
One of the best ways to ground yourself is by walking barefoot. However, we can't always do that because we run the risk of hurting our feet. This footwear offers the protection we need while still allowing us to experience all the benefits of going barefoot.
Health Benefits
Earthing can also lead to reduced blood viscosity, which further supports our cardiovascular health. You can also experience better sleep habits and reduced pain among a host of other health benefits.
Now that you are aware of some of the more significant benefits earthing has to offer you, read on. We bet the more conventional shoes you are currently wearing, don't offer you as much as earthing shoes can.
We have handpicked the top 5 grounding shoes or sandals for you to consider wearing for receiving vital energy from the earth.

CHOOSING THE BEST GROUNDING SHOES
One of the biggest considerations to make when choosing your next pair of grounding shoes in 2020 is what you will be doing in them. Most of the listed varieties are good for everyday wear, but you will want to pay attention to the kind of terrain they are more appropriate for.
For example, if you plan on walking on concrete or hard terrain, then you will want to stay clear of the sandals designed for soft earth.
