Bastien Industries Women's Buffalo Hide Leather Ballet Earthing Moccasins (6, Tobacco)

I got these to wear at the gym. I use kettlebells of barbells primarily and was introduced to them barefooted. I wouldn't dream of lifting of swinging or squatting heavy weight with a typical shoe on. When I can, I still prefer bare feet for lifting or kettlebells. There is no match for the sensory feedback the ground provides, but I joined a gym to use on the side that refuses bare feet (still use my barefoot gym primarily)...I must have covered toes. While I admit there is a risk of crushed toes/feet, I didn't really get their fear of flying toes! Anyway, these fit the bill and fit very well, slide on easily, but fit like a glove when weighted and my wider feet flatten further. The tie is mostly aesthetic, but they are cute. Sole is just double thickness, exceptionally soft leather. The whole shoe is very soft, I can roll these up as small as a pair of socks! I would say they could also make exceptional house shoes. If your into grounding, which I use a grounding sheet to successfully reduce inflammation, they would work too. There is no other sole besides the soft leather. The only thing to remember is they run VERY big. I am a 7-7.5 normally. I took advice on-line and ordered a 7 in my first pair. It was huge! (barefoot, no sock) I returned and ordered a 6, not having worn that size since middle school. The 6's fit perfect.

So soft and very unique!
