All Bahé Earthing shoes are:

• SUSTAINABLY MADE with recycled plastics or polyesters, and plant-based (corn, sugarcane, organic cotton) materials; packaging is FCS-recycled and also recyclable.

• VEGAN-FRIENDLY

• GROUNDED - sneakers and boots via a multi-layer ground flow system which permits the passing of earth’s natural electrons through the sole (more on this below), and sandals with conductive soles and laces. All are certified conductive according to EN ISO 20344:2011 (electrical conductivity is the same as human skin)

• BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE, LONGEVITY & COMFORT, featuring breathable mesh and treated upper and splash proof panels, Bahé runners are water-resistant, contain heel and toe reinforcements for durability, and have grippy tread.

  Bahé Rediscover grounding boots are waterproof with ultra-durable, rugged tread. Both styles are very lightweight compared to conventional sneakers and hiking boots.

• 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.

• EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT FOR GROUNDED.COM VISITORS!

Recognizing that people who are into grounding are often also into minimalist design shoes, Bahé offers two styles of grounded running shoes - barefoot design (REVIVE) as well as traditional fit (RECHARGE). The differences lie in the sole and toe box area designs, as well as the treads.

Both styles are grounded the same way via a multi-layer ground flow system in the soles. More on this below.

• Barefoot design – natural foot shaped with roomy toe box, and with zero-drop, thin and flexible sole; no arch support to promote natural foot strength. A wider toe box not only lets the toes spread; it also leaves room for wearing thick socks. The footbed is removable for those who want more room and ground feel.

• Rugged, high-traction - made for hiking terrain with thick (6.5mm), rugged outer soles featuring 4.5mm triangle lugs for optimum grip and flex grooves for multi-directional bending and twisting. Total stack height including 3mm insole: 18mm

• Waterproof and durable – with bellows tongue, upper is fully waterproof, as is lower part of boot which is reinforced with rubber; both toe and heel feature additional reinforced rubber for added protection.

• Lightweight – a size UK8 is 483 grams, which is only about 1 lb - for better endurance (with less energy expended lifting your shoes).

• Designed for comfort and ease of entry – the waterproof upper is made of soft, yet robust fabric and a padded tongue; with ski hooks and pullers for ease when getting them on and off.

• Comes with spare set of orange laces.

Barefoot design - wide and flexible, zero-drop soles with a textured footbed for stimulation; total stack height is 13mm

Highly grippy outer sole - 2.5mm lugs on sole for multi-terrain stability

Waterproof - fully submergible and they dry relatively quickly

Easy to don and adjust - velcro straps in front of foot and at heel

Grounded via a conductive additive in the outsole. Additionally, the laces contain conductive stainless steel threading. Certified conductive (in accordance with EN ISO 20344:2011) so you can soak up Earth energy when on a conductive surface like grass, sand or unpainted concrete.

Lightweight - each sandal (based on size 8) is about 1/2 pound at 245 grams. This and their size make them ideal warm-weather footwear when traveling light!

Comfortable - cushiony, bio-based EVA top sole and smooth straps with padded area for comfort inside the heel strap. In our experience, no blisters and no break in period needed!

Sustainably produced - with recycled and plant-based materials, like sugarcane and natural rubber.

Vegan-friendly

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.”

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 at least one pair, and -happy with their feel, look and performance- 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.

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, rock or grass.

All styles but the sandals accomplish this through a multi-layer ground flow system in each sole. This system includes four sole layers, each with a conductive element.

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.

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 won’t, and become conductive when the feet sweat. Thinner cotton socks are recommended, though grounding socks will be the most conductive right off the bat.
