Your barefoot feeling. Your choice.

Description

TrueS Connect-01 embodies the new Groundies DNA in its most consistent form, combining human anatomy, innovative technologies and independent design in a way that has never been seen before.

The newly developed anatomical last follows the natural shape of the foot. Its more pronounced big toe line creates room so that the big toe can align naturally and fulfill its important function for balance and movement. At the same time, the rounder heel shape ensures a secure fit. The asymmetrical upper construction translates this anatomical approach into a progressive, distinctive design language in which premium suede meets sophisticated technologies: Solarcore® supports temperature comfort in changing conditions. The removable D3O® Transition & Protection Footbed offers barefoot beginners an optional transitional solution, while experienced barefoot wearers can experience the immediate ground feel of the new flexible TrueSense® TS-CT sole with Zero Drop without the additional footbed.

The result is a new type of sneaker that consistently aligns premium design and technological innovation with the human anatomy.

Frequent questions

What's different about the TrueS Connect-01 compared to other Groundies shoes?

The TrueS Connect-01 stands for a new generation Groundies. A newly developed anatomical last, an asymmetrical upper construction and innovative technologies such as Solarcore® and D3O® complement our trusted TrueSense® sole technology. The result is an independent shoe concept that consistently combines anatomy, technology and progressive design.

What is TrueSense® technology?

TrueSense® is the sole technology for natural movement developed by Groundies . It combines a flat and flexible construction with direct ground feedback and thus supports the most genuine walking experience possible. TrueSense® also forms the basis for natural movement in the TrueS Connect-01. You can find even more information about it here.

What is D3O®?

D3O® is an innovative material technology that absorbs shocks and reduces force transmission upon impact. In the TrueS Connect-01, it is integrated into the removable footbed and allows for a customizable barefoot experience. For added comfort, the footbed remains in the shoe – also ideal for barefoot shoe beginners. Those who prefer immediate ground feedback and an even more direct barefoot feel can simply remove it.

What is Solarcore®?

Solarcore® is an innovative insulation technology based on aerogel originally developed for NASA. It reduces heat transfer and thus supports a balanced foot climate – even at changing temperatures. Thanks to its high insulation performance with minimal use of material, it is integrated into the sophisticated design of the TrueS Connect-01.

Is the TrueS Connect-01 also suitable for barefoot shoe beginners?

Yes. The TrueS Connect-01 combines the principles of natural movement with an individually adjustable barefoot experience. The removable D3O® footbed allows you to decide for yourself how much cushioning and ground feedback you prefer. Especially for beginners, the footbed offers additional comfort. If you have worn conventional shoes before, we recommend a gradual acclimatization. You can find more information and tips on switching to barefoot shoes here.

Can I customize the experience of the TrueS Connect-01?

Yes. With the removable D3O® footbed, you decide for yourself how directly you want to feel the ground. With the footbed, you enjoy additional shock absorption and comfort. Without the footbed, you experience immediate ground feedback and an even more direct barefoot feel.

How do I find the right size?

Use our size chart and refer to your measurements. Since the TrueS Connect-01 is based on a newly developed anatomical last, we recommend checking the size information even if you have already worn other Groundies. Find your suitable size & fit.

Can I test the TrueS Connect-01?

With our 14-day test guarantee you can experience the TrueS Connect-01 in everyday life and find out how Natural Movement feels for you. You can find the exact conditions in our guarantee conditions.

Your Questions About Our Barefoot Shoes

What size do I need?

The safest way is to measure your feet before placing an order. Here's how:

1. Stand barefoot on a sheet of paper.

2. Draw a line where your longest toe ends.

3. Measure the length from your heel to your longest toe.

4. Compare your foot length to the size chart—you’ll find it right on the product page next to the size selector.

Important: Each Groundies model has its own size chart. Please always refer to the specifications for the specific shoe.

Our tip: If you’re between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one. Barefoot shoes can comfortably fit a little looser. A gap of about 1 cm in front of your toes is ideal—this gives you enough room when rolling your foot and prevents pressure on your toes.

You can also find detailed step-by-step instructions here:

How do I determine my shoe size?

What are the unique features and benefits of Groundies?

All of our soles are flat, flexible, and Zero Drop—meaning they have no heel-to-toe drop. They provide an authentic barefoot feel and differ primarily in design, tread pattern, and material thickness. This lets you choose between particularly minimalist soles for maximum ground feel or options with more grip and stability.

Whether you’re strolling through the city, walking on a forest trail, working in the office, or doing yoga—every activity places different demands on your shoes. That’s why we offer a variety of TrueSense® soles that optimally support the barefoot sensation depending on your specific needs. This way, you’ll always find the right foundation for a natural barefoot experience while walking.

How do Groundies feel when worn in everyday life?

Groundies barefoot shoes mimic the natural feeling of walking barefoot and protect your feet from sharp objects and the cold. Thanks to a combination of high-quality materials and our sensitive TrueSense® sole, Groundies barefoot shoes offer you a walking experience that feels especially natural and is built to last.

What are the differences between the soles?

Our Groundies soles differ in terms of flexibility, tread depth, and fit: from particularly thin and flexible soles for maximum ground feel to slightly thicker soles for more protection in everyday life or during outdoor activities.

Depending on the model, the width of the toe box also varies between Barefoot Fit, Barefoot+, and Barefoot Light Fit.

No matter which one you choose—with our TrueSense® technology, you’ll always move naturally and comfortably.
