Fit and sizing
Unisex EU sizes 36 to 46, whole sizes only. It's a barefoot shape: wide at the toes and flat from heel to toe.
Between sizes, wide feet, high insteps or wearing socks? Take the next size up. See the size guide for foot lengths in centimetres and inches.
Materials, part by part
- Upper: leather
- Footbed: leather
- Sole: leather, thin and flexible, zero drop
- Rivet: copper, through the sole under the ball of the foot
Ordinary rubber insulates. That's why there is copper right through the sole.
Delivery and returns

Wear them outside for 30 days. If they're not right, send them back. Here is exactly how.
Care
Wipe with a damp cloth and let them dry at room temperature, away from direct heat. The leather sole isn't waterproof. After salt water, rinse the rivet in fresh water and let it dry.

How it works
How the rivet works, and when it doesn't.
- Your footBare skin, or a thin natural-fibre sock.
- FootbedThe rivet head sits in the footbed, under the ball of your foot.
- SoleThin and flexible. On its own, a dry sole insulates.
- Copper rivetRuns right through the sole: a conductive path from footbed to ground.
- The groundGrass, soil, sand and damp natural ground.
A copper rivet runs through the sole, so there is a conductive path from your foot to the ground.
Ordinary rubber insulates, and so does a dry sole. That is why there is copper right through ours.
It connects where the ground does. Your skin needs to touch the footbed: bare feet work best.
Where it connects
Landfall is everyday footwear, not electrical protective equipment. No footwear should be treated as protection in a storm.

What it's made of, part by part.
What you may notice about the rivet
Four things people who buy rivet shoes say nobody told them. We'd rather tell you first.
- You may feel it at firstMost of all on concrete and other hard ground.
- It can leave a small markCopper can leave a harmless grey-green mark on your skin. It washes off.
- It can click on tileAnd it can mark soft wood floors. Indoors it doesn't connect anyway, so house shoes may suit you better there.
- If it ever works looseEmail us a photo. A real person will reply and put it right.
Proof
Sceptical? Good.
We can't tell you how you'll feel. We can show you the copper, and how to check your own pair.
Our reading
Published here, with the method.
We measure finished pairs with a person wearing them, barefoot, and post the number here with exactly how we took it. Not a badge: a number you can repeat.
Check your own pair
You'll need a multimeter.
- Check the rivet itselfSet the meter to resistance (Ω). Touch one probe to the rivet on the footbed and the other to the rivet on the sole. A near-zero reading means the copper runs straight through.
- Then check it with you in itWear them barefoot for five minutes. Stand on damp grass with a metal stake pushed into the soil beside you. Hold one probe and touch the other to the stake. That reading includes your skin, which is the part that matters.
- Give it something to compare withRepeat it barefoot, and in an ordinary rubber-soled shoe.
Research on grounding is small and early, and none of it tested shoes. We make no health claims.

Feet are slightly larger at the end of the day.
Stand on paper with your heel against a wall and mark your longest toe.
Take the larger one. Your toes should have room to spread.

Questions
Before you buy
Why not just go barefoot?
Often, you should. Barefoot on grass is the simplest way to feel the ground. Landfall is for when you can't: the shop, the school gate, a cold morning, a path full of stickers.
Does it actually connect to the ground?
On grass, soil, sand and damp natural ground, the copper rivet makes a conductive path from the footbed to the ground. On bare concrete it may. On asphalt, sealed floors and indoors it doesn't. Bare feet connect best.
What will grounding do for me?
We make no health or medical claims. Research on grounding is small and early, and none of it tested shoes. People choose Landfall for a flat, roomy shoe that slips on, and for the feel of the ground underfoot.
Which size should I order?
Unisex EU 36–46, whole sizes. Measure your foot from heel to longest toe and match the length in the table above. Between sizes, wide feet or wearing socks? Take the next size up.
What if they don't fit, and I've worn them outside?
Wear them outside for 30 days. If they're not right, send them back. Here is exactly how.
Can I wear socks?
Yes. For the rivet to connect, your skin needs to touch the footbed, so bare feet connect best. A thin cotton or wool sock may still connect; a thick or synthetic one won't.
Can I wear them in the rain?
The leather sole isn't waterproof and, like any leather sole, it can be slippery on wet, icy or very smooth surfaces. If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from direct heat.
How long does delivery take?
Free shipping on every order. Delivery takes 6–10 working days, and you get a tracking number by email when your order ships.
Do they work in a storm, or as electrical protection?
No. Landfall is everyday footwear, not electrical protective equipment. No footwear should be treated as protection in a storm.
