I’ve been testing out the Pilgrim Grounded Boot by Vivobarefoot and this is video should address many of the questions commonly asked by those intrigued by the topic of grounding or earthing.

So what is grounding?
Grounding (or 'earthing') is about reconnecting with the planet's electrical charge to balance the excess of positive ions in our bodies. By offering grounding technology in our footwear, we’re even closer to our mission of connecting you to nature and to your inner nature.

The science behind grounding is still in its early stages, and more rigorous, standardised testing on a larger scale is required for it to gain mainstream acceptance. However, initial research* suggests promising benefits – like decreased inflammation and pain, reduced stress, and improved sleep and circulation.

* Oschman, J.L., Chevalier, G., & Brown, R. (2015). Grounding (earthing) effects on inflammation, immunity, wound healing, and chronic inflammatory/autoimmune diseases. Journal of Inflammation Research, 8, 83-96. [PMID: 25848315; PMCID: PMC4378297]

DEEPEN YOUR CONNECTION
Vivos give your feet a chance to feel and the freedom to move, so you can connect to nature and to yourself. Conductive barefootwear enables you to connect on a deeper level – by keeping you in harmony with the natural world, and even closer to your human potential.

CONDUCTIVE OUTSOLE
Three conductive layers underfoot – a rubber outsole for stability and initial contact, a thin silver webbing for optimal conductive contact, and a leather strobel layer stitched with silver thread – create a pathway for electrons to flow between your body and the Earth's surface. Due to the conductive compound, the sole color may lighten when damp and darken again once dry; rest assured, this won’t impact performance.

Emerging research is revealing that direct physical contact of the human body with the surface of the earth (grounding or earthing) has intriguing effects on human physiology and health, including beneficial effects on various cardiovascular risk factors. This study examined effects of 2 hours of grounding on the electrical charge (zeta potential) on red blood cells (RBCs) and the effects on the extent of RBC clumping.
