Welcome to a shoe shop rooted in purpose.
We hope to spread awareness about the benefits of earthing and barefoot shoes.

In a world filled with toxic materials and disconnect from the earth we hope to bring a positive change in as many lives as possible. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, stress, depression, fatigue, insomnia and lack of energy, earthing can reduce your symptoms and make you feel more grounded. Have you ever noticed that after a day at the beach you feel lighter and happier? This is the result of being connected to the earth.

Shoes with plastic or rubber soles disconnect you from the earth, while our shoes have a leather sole with a copper rivet, which is one of the materials most often used for grounding.

Our Mission

Our Story

Becoming a mother was the trigger for me to start learning about living a more natural life. I was shocked to realise just how many things were considered normal by society while they were in fact harmful and unnatural to our human nature and psyche. One of these things were the shoes that I wore. Having ancestors who lived in the mountains I was blessed with big feet DNA that are perfect for climbing mountains but horrible to fit into modern shoes. It was a huge relief for my body and an easy transition to start wearing barefoot shoes.

One of my passions is finding clothing and shoes that are made with only natural materials. Synthetics fibres are harmful to our planet and irritating to those with a sensitive skin. You can imagine just how thrilled I was to find out that such shoes existed in my original country, Türkiye. My dream is to contribute to making the world a more clean and natural place again!
