How do reviews work on our site?
Reviews can be submitted by registered customers with an account who purchased the product as well as by signed-in users without a purchase.
Origin & labeling
“Verified purchase”: If a customer submits a review and we have a matching order for the reviewed product in that customer account, we automatically label the review as “verified purchase”. Our system matches the review with the order data and ensures that the exact product was purchased. These reviews are published without manual case-by-case moderation after this automated check.
Non-verified reviews: Signed-in users without a matching order for the reviewed product can also leave a review. These reviews are not published immediately and are first internally moderated for compliance with our Community Guidelines.
Transparency notice: Reviews labeled “verified purchase” come from customers who actually ordered the product. Reviews without this label come from signed-in users who may not have purchased the product. All reviews may be checked for compliance with our Community Guidelines before publication.
Our moderation process
Our goal is to surface helpful, fair, experience-based reviews and prevent abuse. Verified-purchase reviews are published after the automated order match. Non-verified reviews are reviewed internally prior to publication and may be declined if they violate the Community Guidelines.

Sehr bequeme und hübsche Ballerinas. Am Anfang hat es hinten an der Ferse ein bisschen gedrückt, aber das hat sich schnell gelegt. Der Schuh passt sich gut an und sitzt angenehm. Besonders praktisch finde ich das Gummiband,bei schmalen Füßen wie meinen gibt das einen guten Halt. Und dafür, dass es Barfußschuhe sind, sehen sie echt schick aus.

Nach der Größentabelle oben hätte ich mir mit meinen 24 cm langen Füßen eine 37 bestellen müssen. Da aus einigen Bewertungen aber hervor ging, dass die Schuhe eher klein ausfallen, habe ich aber meine normale 38 bestellt. Schuhe fand ich dann super schön, aber sie schienen mir ziemliche knapp. Daraufhin habe ich nochmal eine 39 bestellt. Die wirkten einen Tick zu weit und etwas groß, aber für heiße Sommertage, mit einer Sohle drin dann doch besser als die 38. Größenfazit: Fallen tatsächlich klein aus, und die Tabelle ist echt Quatsch. (Allerdings habe ich auch das Gefühl, trotz flacher Sohle darin beim Gehen nach vorne zu rutschen, so dass eher eine Lücken hinten am Hacken entsteht). Definitiv ein Stern Abzug dafür, dass sie schon beim kurzen Probieren hinten gescheuert haben. Hoffe, sie lassen sich mit Hilfe von Pflastern eintragen, mal gucken. Außerdem: die Farbe ist Gold. Die Bilder auf denen sie so hell Perlmutt/Champagner aussehen stimmen einfach nicht.

Die Ballerinas sehen super aus und sitzen jetzt auch gut. Am Anfang war der Gummizug recht eng und der Schuh hat auch an der Ferse gedrückt. Ich habe sie mit Socken ein paar Tage zu Hause getragen, das hat geholfen. Jetzt passen sie bequem und bleiben gut am Fuß. Wer sowas kennt, kann es ja mal genauso versuchen.

These are my 15th pair of Groundies shoes and I have never felt so let down. The Lily 3.0 was a huge disappointment and I need to find the way how to return them (since there is no address for Czechia). The elastic along the inner edge is painfully tight — I cannot wear it. Even 30 seconds can get very painful. I chose the right size, but the design made the shoes feel way smaller. I am very disappointed. I was hoping for the same level of comfort as with the GROUNDIES® Bella shoes, but it is nothing alike.
Answer from GROUNDIES®
Thank you for sharing your feedback — we’re really sorry to hear that the fit of the Lily 3.0 didn’t work for you and that you found the elastic too tight. That’s definitely not the comfort experience we want you to have. We’re happy to let you know that Groundies is also available in Czechia! You can visit our local online shop at groundies.cz — orders placed there can easily be returned through the Czech returns portal, making the process much simpler and faster. If your order was placed through another Groundies shop (for example, here at groundies.com), please contact our customer service via the respective site so they can guide you through the return steps. But we would recommend to buy in the future in our Czech online shop. Thank you again for your loyalty — fifteen pairs is truly impressive! We hope your next pair will bring back that familiar Groundies feeling you love. Warm regards, your Groundies Team

I've been a loyal Groundies customer for years and have always loved the comfort of their shoes. Unfortunately, the Lily 3.0 was a huge letdown. The elastic along the inner edge is painfully tight — after just 15 minutes of wear, it caused blisters. The size was correct, but the design made the shoes unwearable for me. Very disappointed
Answer from GROUNDIES®
Thank you so much for your honest feedback—especially as someone who’s been with us for a while, we truly value your voice. We’re really sorry to hear that the Lily 3.0 didn’t work for you. The elastic edging is meant to ensure a secure fit, especially when worn barefoot, but of course, comfort should never come at the cost of pain or blisters. If the material feels too tight from the start, that’s understandably frustrating. We’ll definitely forward your experience to our product team. Details like yours help us to improve future models—especially when it comes to balancing a snug fit with true comfort. In the meantime, we hope you’ll find another pair that feels more like the Groundies you know and love. Warm regards your Groundies Team

Schöne Schuhe, sehen auch nicht so nach Barfußschuh aus. Leider scheuern sie bereits beim ersten Mal Tragen an der Ferse/Sehne und verursachen Blasen. Ich trage Barfußschuhe, weil ich keine Lust mehr auf unbequeme Schuhe habe. Bei diesem Paar ist das leider nicht der Fall, daher gehen sie zurück. Passen würde mir bei einer Fußlänge von 24,1 / 24,3 übrigens die Größe 39. Die empfohlene Größe 38 bietet deutlich zu wenig Abrollspielraum und meine großen Zehen stehen fast vorne und auch oben an.

Since I discovered groundies, I have not bought a shoe from another brand. I like your products, as they are barfoot, comfortable and at the same time stylish and don't look "as only designed for comfort". Having said that, I bought two ballerina products from you recently, Lilly 3.0 and Ruby 2.0, and both rub at the back of the heel and at the rubber band, to the point, where I struggle to wear them at all. Reading the reviews, which have come in since my purchase, this seems a common issue. My wish: keep "best sellers" available, particularly for ballerinas. Instead of a new model every few months, having a "basic" line that people can rely upon to fit, would add so much more value for me. I don't want to have to walk-in my ballerinas for days with socks or plasters, I just want a shoe that fits - and I am happy to trade this against the, in my view very minor, "design improvements" you may make when launching a new model.
Answer from GROUNDIES®
Hi, and thank you so much for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that both the Lily 3.0 and Ruby 2.0 caused pressure at the heel and the rubber band – we know how frustrating it is when shoes feel uncomfortable, especially when you’ve trusted a model to be an easy fit. You’re absolutely right that ballerinas can be tricky: they sit very close to the foot and leave little room for socks, which makes them feel different than sneakers or boots. Some customers find they soften and adjust after a few wears, but we completely understand your wish for a shoe that feels good straight out of the box. We also hear you on the “basic line” idea. While some models make way for new developments, we know how important it is to have reliable favourites that you can come back to. Feedback like yours really helps us reflect on how we balance updates with keeping proven styles in the collection. Thanks again for your honest input and for being such a loyal Groundies customer. Warm regards Your Groundies Team

Fallen wirklich klein aus. Ich habe viele Groundies in Größe 41, diese hier waren aber zu klein. 42 ist leider etwas zu groß und die falsche Größe kässt den Fuß länger aussehen... habe sie aber lieber etwas zu groß als zu klein gekauft, weil sie wirklich schön und auch bequem sind. Ich werde dünne Sohlen für besseren Halt einlegen. Schade, dass die Größe nicht hinhaut, hier wären Zwischengrößen gut. Ansonsten wunderschöner Schuh!
