My go-to shoes all summer are flip-flops. They are easy, comfortable and go with just about everything. So, when Pluggz asked me to review their new flip flops I was excited to try them out.

What are Pluggz?
Pluggz are flip flops that have a plug that is made of a custom carbon and rubber compound that sit below the weight bearing part of your feet. These plugs are designed to conduct a flow of free electrons from the earth to your body.

Why is this good?
You know how it feels so good to walk barefoot? Well, Pluggs give your body the benefits of walking barefoot by transferring the earths energy to our bodies. This is called grounding or earthing. When you’re grounded there’s a transfer of free electrons from the Earth into your body. And, according to Dr. James Oschman an expert in the field of energy medicine, these free electrons are probably the most potent antioxidants known to man.

These antioxidants are responsible for the clinical observations from grounding experiments, such as:

• Beneficial changes in heart rate
• Decreased skin resistance
• Decreased levels of inflammation

Grounding is also found to be beneficial to your blood thus having an issue on cardiovascular disease as well as some anti-aging effects.

My Thoughts
All that in a flip flop?! Well, I’ve been wearing mine for almost a month now and I have to say they are the most comfortable flip flops I’ve ever owned. While I can’t say for sure if I’ve had any of the the positive medical effects of earthing from wearing them I can say that they just feel better to wear than my old pair of regular flip flops. I feel very energized when I wear them and have even worn them on long walks and outings. You can feel the plug just below the ball of your foot and it actually feels sort of like a foot massage as you walk, even on the hard cement ground. The arches also add nice support and comfort. They are a very simple classic style with a little button feature on the tong that I really like. I wear mine all the time now!
