Introducing the chunky, feel-good sandals you’ll wear all summer!
I tried on my first pair of leather Biotime sandals several years ago. As soon as I put my feet into them, I was hooked. It was love at first step. After years of wearing thin, flat slip-ons and awkward wedges, Biotime’s gentle, contoured footbed was like heaven.
“I have to get a pair of these,” I said to my husband. And I did!
Since then, not only has the leather of my sandals mellowed and grown pleasantly malleable over time, but the surface of the therapeutic insole has softened and shaped itself even further to my feet.
New Biotime sandal designs with a special twist are now available on The Brown Bear website. The Cohen (men’s) and Carina (women’s) styles are crafted in Spain with oiled leather uppers, adjustable buckles, and durable EVA outsole. Even better than the trendy, casual look and dependable comfort — they are earthing-optional.
Earthing shoes allow the wearer to “ground” themselves, a practice that provides countless health benefits. By creating an earthing connection, our bodies are stabilized, healed, and rejuvenated by the earth’s natural electromagnetic field. This phenomenon has been scientifically researched with study after study corroborating evidence of improved mental and physical wellness.
To accommodate grounding, the Cohen and Carina sandals can be fitted with a special copper rivet through the bottom of the shoe. Copper, being conductive, helps to channel the earth’s energy from organic surfaces, which is then absorbed into the body, just as if you were walking barefoot.
My own Biotime sandals have a copper post in them. Most of the time I don’t even notice the rivet is there; sometimes I feel a small bump, but it’s not uncomfortable. I like knowing that I can stay grounded without having to go completely barefoot. I wear my pair outside in the backyard, when I run errands, at barbecues with friends. They’re still my go-to summer sandals.
Earthing surfaces include: gravel paths and driveways, concrete, grass, sand, soil, rocks and shells, moss, and natural bodies of water. Grounding is not possible on man-made surfaces, indoor floors, or in shoes with synthetic soles (unless modified specifically for earthing purposes.)
