What’s Special About BAHÉ GroundING Shoes?
All Bahé earthing shoes are:
GROUNDED - Bahé’s sneakers and boots contain a conductive, multi-layer ground flow system (more on this below). Sandals are grounded via conductive soles and laces. Each pair is certified conductive (in accordance with EN ISO 20347:2022).
SUSTAINABLY MADE with recycled plastics or polyesters, and plant-based (corn, sugarcane, organic cotton) materials; packaging is FCS-recycled and also recyclable.
INSPIRED BY NATURE. Not only did Bahé create grounding shoes to help people spend more time exercising in nature, they designed them with a reverence for nature’s simple, natural colors and organic flowing lines.
BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE, LONGEVITY & COMFORT with breathable mesh, some cushioning, flexible soles and ultra-durable, grippy tread. Bahé runners and boots contain heel and toe reinforcements for durability, and the sandals have padded, adjustable straps.
WATERPROOF OR WATER RESISTANT. Bahé grounding sandals and boots are fully waterproof, and their running shoes have treated uppers and splash proof panels for water resistance.
MINIMALIST / BAREFOOT DESIGN. With the exception of Recharge runners, all styles offer natural, foot-shaped toe boxes and flexible, zero-drop soles (no difference in heel and toe elevation, no arch support).
Offering greater freedom of movement and sole flexibility, barefoot-style shoes are thought to naturally strengthen the feet and legs over time. Barefoot shoes also tend to have thinner soles than regular footwear, thus also offer better “ground feel.” All aspects of barefoot shoes are designed to mimic the experience of going barefoot.
However, not all barefoot design shoes are also grounding shoes - learn more here>
All Bahé shoes are very lightweight compared to conventional sneakers and hiking boots. They are all vegan-friendly too!

ARE GROUNDing shoes GOOD FOR ME?
When you wear Earthing, or grounding, shoes on a conductive natural earth surface to run, walk or hike, you’re simultaneously engaging in three activities known to promote good health and wellbeing: (1) exercising, (2) grounding, and (3) being in nature.
Imagine, for example, you’re running through the woods, hiking a mountain trail, or briskly walking the beach or a dirt road in the countryside. You’re feeling a host of exercise benefits including more oxygen flooding your system and maybe even a “runner’s high.” You’re also experiencing health benefits from simply being out in nature…like reduced stress and greater well being. Such is why “green exercise,” or exercising in nature, is taking hold as a powerful, natural way to get and stay healthy. Some call it “exercise squared.”
What if you then added the benefits of grounding to that mix?
Grounded.com Founder Step Sinatra visits Bahé Founders Alex and Kishan at the June 2024 Health Optimization Summit in London.
This is what an innovative duo had in mind when creating their Bahé line of sustainably produced, grounded running shoes…an exponential increase in all those positive effects of green exercise which they refer to as, “exercise cubed” (exercise to the 3rd power).
Since Bahé’s grounded, green exercise mission aligns perfectly with our views on grounded exercise in nature, Step and I had to get our feet into their shoes! We each tried out (and now regularly wear) the Revives and Rediscovers; Respires and Recharges too, for March. Happy with their feel, look and performance, we are excited to share the Bahé brand with you.
Ultimately, Bahé’s mission is to support a healthier connection to the earth through exercise - something we can really get behind. We also love the name…Bahé is the Hindi word for “flow,” and captures the essence of the flow of earth energy that helps us better “go with the flow” of life.

HOW DO BAHÉ SHOES GROUND YOU?
Unlike regular shoes, Bahé grounded runners and hiking boots allow the Earth’s natural stream of electrons, which flow from natural earth surfaces (like dirt, grass, gravel, stone, brick and unpainted concrete) to pass into the feet via conductive soles.
Revive, Rewild, Recharge and Rediscover have different treads and sole thicknesses, but are equally conductive and utilize the same grounding technology. Respire grounding sandals have a conductive additive in the outer sole as well as conductive metal (stainless steel) threading in the laces.
All Bahé grounding shoe styles will conduct the earth’s electrons into your feet when you’re standing on a natural earth surface like sand, dirt or grass. Bahé sneakers and boots accomplish this through a multi-layer ground flow system in each sole. This system includes four sole layers, each with a conductive element.
REVIVE ground flow system
REDISCOVER ground flow system
From the outsole, in which there is conductive carbon, the energy passes into the insole through a conductive loop in the midsole. The performance insole contains conductive stitching, through which the energy is delivered into the footbed. Additional conductive stitching in the footbed transfers the electrons into your feet. You can remove the inner sole in some styles (for more ground feel) without negatively impacting conductivity.
Bahé’s ground flow system is lab-tested and certified to have the same conductivity as human skin.
If you wear socks, will they block the flow of Earth energy?
Most socks made of natural materials like cotton won’t, though some made of synthetic materials can insulate your feet from ground energy. Even in cotton socks, though, your feet need to sweat to effectuate conductivity. Thinner cotton socks are recommended, though grounding socks will be the most conductive right off the bat.
Bahé ALSO offers a line of grounding socks!
Made from organic cotton with conductive stainless steel threads, Bahé’s grounding socks enhance ground energy flow when worn with Bahé grounding shoes. $25 per pair. Available in two styles:
OUR TEAM’S THOUGHTS - BAHÉ GROUNDING SHOE REVIEWS
March here…over the past few years, Step and I have each accumulated several pairs of Bahé grounding shoes and socks. Full disclosure - some were free. However, we’ve since purchased several additional pairs because we really like the quality, look and feel of Bahé shoes!
Step’s Rediscover Grounding Boots
“I love these Revive running shoes - they are so comfortable...almost like slippers! They seem to run a bit big, but fit well. I dig the flat sole, but also that they have some padding. Wide toe box for sure! I feel like running Forrest Gump style in them. I come home and forget to take them off, they are so roomy. Am now on my third pair!
I also have a pair of the hiking boots and have been wearing them non-stop, they are crazy comfortable! The socks are great too.””
““(Original) Revives are super comfy and wipe down easily...Nature is a dirty girl! I’ve worn them with and without the removable inner sole and prefer them without. While I started with Adapt, I’ve recently become smitten with Endurance - super cushiony yet zero-drop - best of both worlds!”
March’s Original Revives - Eclipse
March’s Revive Endurances - Stone
Step’s old vs. new Original Revives - Forest
For snow and colder weather hiking, I love the Rediscover boots. They’ve consistently kept my feet warm and dry in both the snow and pouring rain!
The Respire sandals have also proven ideal sole companions for summer exploration and travel, and the best part has been - NO BLISTERS! They are padded in all the right places.
Among my most recent purchases is a pair of traditional fit Recharges (the sale price was too good to pass up), which I’m enjoying as everyday sneakers - they are super comfy. However, I prefer the barefoot style Endurance for long walks, runs and gym exercise, as I’m trying to achieve barefoot benefits such as better stability, balance and foot strength.
In my experience, all Bahé grounding shoes except Recharge fit on the larger side, so if you’re a half size, I advise rounding down. For Recharge, I would go a half size up.
As for the grounding socks, I recently purchased two pairs - regular and five-toe, and really enjoy wearing them, especially indoors atop an Earthing mat. While not a cinch to slip on, the five-toe pair is quickly becoming a favorite (so much so, I made a video about them)!
