Grounding Shoes Giveaway (No Longer Available)

UPDATE AS OF MARCH 2015: 

Unfortunately, Juil is no longer in business. 

I’m the kind of girl who gets excited about essential oils and herbs, not heels and purses. With that said, there is still a part of me that jumps for joy when I discover the perfect pair of shoes. And since discovering Juil a few months ago, I’m convinced that I’ve found the perfect shoe.

What makes Juil grounding shoes special?

Juil are grounding shoes, which mean they allow the beneficial electromagnetic charge of the earth to pass into your body. Regular shoes have rubber soles, which block the electrical charge of the earth. (If you can get your hands on 100% uncoated leather-soled moccasins, however, that’s another story).

When we walk barefoot on conductive surfaces (untreated concrete, sand, grass or dirt) we are earthing or grounding ourselves. Skin-to-earth contact allows the negative ions from the ground flow into our body, and this is shown to reduce stress hormones and inflammation (source).

Have you ever noticed a tingling, uplifting feeling when you walk barefoot on a sandy beach? Or experienced profound rejuvenation after laying on the grass in the sun? It’s likely due to both increased relaxation paired with the anti-stress effects of earthing.

Besides the earthing factor, here are other reasons why I love Juil grounding shoes:

• Comfort – The ballet flats are perhaps the best I’ve ever worn – the leather offers a hint of stretch to mold to my feet, but it stays on. If possible, the moccasins are even more comfortable with the padded foot bed and soft fabric.
• Wide Range of Styles – From classy flats to boho boots, Juil has you covered! I love the clean, classic ballet flats. My moccasins are more casual, and extremely comfortable. And my sandals will go perfectly with summer dresses or shorts in the spring/summer.
• Durability – I’ve given my ballet flats very heavy use, and they are still going strong. I credit the real leather… nothing beats leather flats for mold-to-your feet comfort and durability.

Components of Juil shoes include:

• The conductive copper “earthing dots” under each toe to allow the benefits of grounding
• Leather for comfort and to conform to your feet
• Vegetable dyes – better for your health and the environment!
