Grounding tech that reconnects you to the Earth’s natural energy. By transferring electrons from the ground, it helps reduce stress and inflammation, improve sleep, and boost recovery.

  • Enhances Connection to the Ground: Grounding (or earthing) allows the body to absorb electrons from the earth, which may help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support recovery.
  • May Reduce Stress & Fatigue: Some research suggests grounding can help regulate circadian rhythms, leading to better sleep and reduced fatigue.
  • Improves Stability & Balance: A direct sensory connection to the ground enhances proprioception, helping you react faster and stay balanced in motion.

Unrestricted Steps

Move naturally, all day. A zero-drop sole and ultra-wide toe box support posture, balance, and foot strength—without restriction.

Comfort in Motion

Subtle support you’ll feel with every step. The AdaptSol™ insole features 100+ micro-massage nodes that deliver continuous comfort and sensory feedback.

Refined Grounding

Earth-Link™ reconnects you to the Earth’s energy—helping reduce stress, support recovery, and bring balance to your everyday rhythm.

Modern shoes limit your mobility. Natural movement shoes let them move as they should—building strength, improving balance, and supporting posture. With a wide toe box and zero-drop design, they help you move freely, comfortably, and naturally.

The amount of time it takes to transition to barefoot shoes varies for each individual, as everyone's feet are different and may adapt to the new shoes at different rates. However, the following general guidelines can help:

  • Gradual transition: Gradually increasing the amount of time you spend in barefoot shoes can help reduce discomfort and allow your feet to adjust to the new sensation of walking without shoes.
  • Start small: Begin by wearing barefoot shoes for a few hours at a time and gradually increase the duration as your feet get used to them.
  • Listen to your body: Pay attention to any discomfort or pain you experience while wearing barefoot shoes. If you experience discomfort, take a break and switch back to your regular shoes for a few days.
  • Give it time: It can take several weeks or even months for your feet to fully adjust to barefoot shoes, so be patient and persistent.

Keep in mind that everyone's feet are different and the transition time may vary. It's important to listen to your body and adjust accordingly to ensure a comfortable transition to barefoot shoes.

No, the leather is not vegan.

The Adapt Leather Trainer is FREE from PFCs + PFAs.

A wide toe box refers to the space at the front of a shoe, allowing the toes to align and spread naturally. This design helps reduce pressure on the toes, improving foot function and comfort. Flux shoes have a generous toe-box, thanks to the toe-off shape which creates ample room for the toes throughout the gait cycle.

Zero-drop means the heel and toe of the shoe are level, promoting a more natural foot position and stride.

Adapt Leather Trainers fit small for most. We recommend sizing up a 1/2 size for the best fit. For more details, refer to our size chart for guidance on finding your perfect fit.

Spot Cleaning: Using water, mild soap, and a soft bristled brush or microfiber cloth, focus on the particularly dirty areas (outsole or on the shoe). Do not use bleach. Do not machine wash.

    Fit great, look great!

    I’m a nursing student, and my uniform requires solid white shoes that are liquid impermeable and non slip. These shoes check all those boxes, look great, and are so comfortable. The only downside is the price, but when considering that one pair of clunky shoes we all wear to clinical (iykyk), it’s actually a bit more affordable. I wish these had come out sooner so I could have invested in them initially. I added some elastic laces so I can slip these on/off easily, so the ones pictured are NOT what come with the shoes.

    I am also a repeat flux customer. My *normal* shoe size is about an 8, for flux I wear a 8.5 in the adapt runner, and I sized up to a 9 in these leather shoes. Just to clarify, size up one full size (at least) from your normal shoe size for these specific shoes!

    If you want more guidance, I wear (women’s) size 38 in Birkenstocks, 8.5 in brooks, 8 in hokas, and 8.5 in earth runners.

    Cute and comfy

    So far they’re really cute and comfortable. I will say that hopefully over time they feel a little more roomy even though I ordered a half size up like recommend. I’m unsure if the stitching is meant to be kinda wobby sobby(imperfect) , but it gives the shoe some character.

    Cute and comfy!

    I wear my leather trainers nearly everyday, whether for work (they’re cute with everything and can be dressed up or down) or for walking 20,000+ steps at Universal. My toes feel free and I no longer claw them inside my shoes to get a better grip on the ground. I will be purchasing a pair of Adapt running shoes next! My only caveat is that my heels get a little sore after wearing these for long days since I’m a heel striker and the cushioning is minimal. I’m hoping having a pair of Adapts to rotate in will help.

    So cute!!!!

    Thank god for shoes like this that are cute but also good for your feet!!!! They don’t look like clown shoes and are still chunky looking. They do run a little small so I’d recommend sizing up a half a size.
