Care Instructions

To clean your Original Luxe remove all loose dirt with a soft shoe brush. If necessary, go in with a clean, soft brush to apply some lukewarm water and a mild cleaning solution. Wipe any excess product with a moist cloth. Air dry at room temperature after cleaning or when the shoes got wet.

The Original Luxe is not machine washable.

Note: The shoes are not suitable for activities that cause a lot of friction on the sole, as this can damage the soft sole.

Very beautiful and comfortable

Bought these because they were the prettiest barefoot shoes I've seen. Delivery was lightning fast. Initially I felt like the shoes were a little large though I checked the size guide and all, but although there's a fair bit of room at the toes my feet don't do the thing where they bang into the front and hurt my toes. The finish of the leather is great and though I've accidentally slammed a heavy door into the toes a couple of times the scuffs are minor and they still look beautiful. Didn't need to break them in, they were perfect comfort from day 1. Bought this for the design aesthetic alone but was pleasantly surprised at the quality and comfort so far. Recommended to my friends who like barefoot shoes but could never find a pretty enough design.

Stylish

This is my second pair. As far as barefoot shoes go, these are the best looking I have found. The only problem I have is the material started to peel off around the front after 10 months. I have not worn them everyday, mostly weekends so I wish they were a little more durable. If they were more durable I would give 5 stars.

Dear Gareth,

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on the Original Luxe.

We're thrilled to hear that you love their stylish look. However, that the faux leather tears is definitely not something that is supposed to happen. Our sincere apologies for this!

We decided to go with faux leather for the Original Luxe because it is an animal-friendly and naturally water-repellent material. Unfortunately, faux leather is not impervious to scuffs and scrapes from everyday wear and tear.

We've already emailed you to ask for pictures, so we can take a closer look at your case. We greatly appreciate your feedback, as we are continuously striving to improve and can only do so when you guys tell us what you need.

Thank you for your support! We're looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Janina

Size and look is great but already showing signs of wear and tear in the soul

Allows toes to spread, is reasonably comfortable, but barely worn and already showing early signs of erosion in the soles :(

Hi Ignatius,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding our Original Luxe - All White. We're glad to hear that you find the size and appearance satisfactory.

We're sorry to hear about the wear and tear you've observed on the outsoles. Our commitment to quality is of utmost importance, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We strive to provide durable and long-lasting products.

Until now, we've been hesitant to make big changes to our soles, since many customers have no issues with durability and love them exactly for what they are. However, we've definitely heard your feedback as well, and have therefore continued to work on this project internally to find a solution that benefits everybody.
We now started to implement a change that allows our soles to keep their Feelgrounds feeling while still enhancing their durability to make them suitable as well for those of us who need more abrasion resistance. Due to production cycles, it will still take a couple of months until the changes are fully implemented, but we've absolutely taken your feedback seriously.

To be able to assist you further and find a suitable solution for you, please reach out to our customer service and kindly send us some pictures of the affected area at feelgrounds.com/contact.

We hope that you will give us another chance in the future, as we are continually striving to provide our customers with the best possible products and service. If you have any further feedback or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Kind regards,
Nina
