## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a reason these cost so much? Bill of Materials does not seem extensive. Wondering if something is special about them.**
A: Great question! All of our shoes and sandals would use our patented FeelTrue Rubber for durability, grip, and flexibility, which is backed by our 5,000 Mile Sole Guarantee! Likewise, the Genesis would use our Amuri Hardware Kit for additional strapping adjustments, and a paracord lacing for holding onto the feet! 

If you were looking for a more cost-friendly option, the Genesis is in essence a premade and upgraded version of our Do-It-Yourself FeelTrue Rubber sandal kit available through our website.

**Q: Is the material for earthing? as in does the material allows for electrons from the earth to your feet?**
A: Not really , how ever it does allow your feet to move naturally and and allow your feet to work the way they are supposed to and since they are a zero drop in other words no padding so you do get some feed back from the ground but if you want the full effect of the negative ions and electrons , my recommendation would be to go barefoot if you're a avid barefooter as I am then you'll want the full effect of the negative ions and electrons. I hope I've answered your question.

**Q: When do you expect to restock size 13 Mens? Thanks!**
A: We currently do not have an exact date but they will most likely be restocked during the Spring of 2023. We'll send a notification when they are available again.

**Q: How easy is it to get on and off? Can you do it one handed? Do the laces have some stretch?**
A: Easier with two hands but it can be done with one.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beneficial to probably everyone
*by M***. on October 25, 2024*

I got these bc I love wearing flip-flops to my gym, I can just hop on the mats and get going but my sport wears at my entire body arguably the most out of every sport because joint breaking is legal in our competitionsover the past 2 years I've been toe bar'd, ankle locked, foot swept, ankle picked, you wouldn't think there are so many ways to attack someones foot but there are and I noticed that normal shoes and flip flops wouldn't allow for a proper recovery and PT/rehab phase for my feetLike I said I love flip flops, I gotta have them for summer and at the gym but after doing some research it turns out that flip flops cause a slight pitch down/lateral pronation of your toes to prevent your flip flops from flying off your feet during every stride, over the course of thousands of steps this can mess with your feet most noticeably for me the plantar fascia, which I would always have cramp up super tight while brawling a training partner further injuring my foot.. essentially the heel strap on these "flip flops" prevents the feet from performing unnatural movements while taking a step like what happens with normal flip flops, and over thousands of steps you really start to notice that your feet are being "corrected" in these barefoot "flip flops" due to the heel strap and the thin minimalist soleWhen I first got these "flip flops" I second guessed my purchase.. the lacing was too long and I had issues getting my toes to not poke over the tip of the sole but it was just user error, took me a day to figure out that I just needed to trim the lace back evenly on both sides and that I had the heel strap way to tight for a proper fit, and after a couple weeks the lace will stretch out a little so I did have to do a second trim but it's not that big of a deal for a dialed in fit(I put on both flip flops and got them on exactly how I wanted them to fit, I took them off and ball parked each segment of lace with a ruler and then made little adjustments to make them really even, I cut the 4 plastic ends off and then I popped each one open with a flat head, then I trimmed back each lace end leaving 1/2"-1" left attached before the heel adjuster, I cut the lace at an angle and melted the two ends together before putting back on the plastic end pieces)If these work to get my feet in better shape they should work for you too

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for barefoot lovers
*by J***B on May 4, 2025*

I just got these yesterday and I am OBSESSED! First off, no one is telling me to write this review. It’s all on my own.I love being barefoot but with the places I go outdoors there is always glass or hot pavement, so I decided to try these out. Today I took my son to a rugby game where I was on every type of ground possible mud, gravel, grass, blacktop, concrete and a local creek. I never felt like the sandals were slippery or that I was sliding in them. They are very stable. The tread on the bottom is just enough to get you some grip while on a muddy shore.Also, I forgot I was actually wearing them while walking around until I was trying to be careful getting into the creek behind the stadium for some quick fishing.I can’t wait to see if they have boots for the winter because I will definitely be buying a pair if so.If you are a barefoot lover, these are affordable and totally worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great barefoot sandal
*by B***3 on April 23, 2025*

First- they are laced correctly even though it looks odd.Second- use the QR code on the tag to watch videos for adjusting your straps.I have been wearing barefoot style shoes for a year. Going into summer, I wanted a sandal that would feel the same (lightweight, comfortable). After some research, I bought the Genesis.They look adorable and are super comfortable. I can't wait to wear them all summer.
