Why Everyone Needs A Pair
Unlock The Way Your Body Was Built To Move
Wide, flexible and grippy. Freedom lets your feet do what nature intended, every single day.
Free Your Toes
Feel the strength and agility return to your feet as your toes spread freely in a wide, foot-shaped toe box.
With extra room up front, your toes settle naturally, helping relieve pressure around bunions and crowded toes while boosting your balance.
Unlock Your Body
A flexible, zero-drop design lets your foot muscles work the way they should, helping strengthen your feet and legs and promoting a natural stride.
Ideal for anyone with tired feet, knees, hips or back, and a favourite for people managing plantar fasciitis.
Slip And Fall Prevention
Step confidently with a slip-resistant traction grip that keeps you steady on trails, pavement and wet floors.
A thin, flexible sole gives you better sensory feedback from the ground, so every step feels secure.
Ease Foot & Joint Strain
Raised, padded heels change how impact travels through your body and squeeze your toes together.
Freedom keeps you level, wide and close to the ground, helping protect your feet, knees, hips and back from everyday strain.

Foot Health, In Focus
Better Comfort Starts
With A Better Fit.
Feet are different. Shoes should make room for that. A narrow toe area or the wrong shoe size can leave your feet feeling squeezed, and research links poorly fitting footwear with foot pain and problems such as corns.1
Start with enough room for your toes, a secure fit, and a shoe suited to your day.
Why Fit Matters.
women reported foot pain in the Framingham study of 1,544 older adults. So did 19% of men.2

Shared By 314 Clinicians.

How FrontrowMD worksResearch & Sources
- Buldt & Menz (2018). Incorrectly fitted footwear, foot pain and foot disorders. Studies varied in populations and fit measurements; this range is not an estimate for everyone.

These are studies of footwear fit and foot health, not clinical trials of Grounded Footwear® shoes. If you have persistent foot pain or a diagnosed condition, ask your clinician which footwear is suitable for you.
