5 Shoes You Wouldn’t Think Work with Groovs… But Totally Do
So, you’ve got your Groovs. You feel amazing. And you’re ready to take on the world. BUT now you’re thinking, how crazy can I get with them?
Like most custom insoles, you’d think Groov only works with your standard sneakers or running shoes, right? WRONG!
I am here to clear up the confusion and prove that even the most unexpected footwear choices can get a serious comfort upgrade. Here are five shoes you wouldn’t expect to work with Groov—but actually totally do.
Balenciaga “Zero” Barefoot Shoes
Balenciaga’s latest entry into the “are these even shoes?” category—the Zero Barefoot—is designed to feel like you’re walking around au naturel. But newsflash: barefoot shoes don’t have to mean zero support. Slipping a pair of Groovs inside helps give you just enough structure to keep things comfy while still feeling connected to the ground.
Rick Owens Kiss Boots
If you’ve ever looked at Rick Owens’ platform boots and thought, “I would love to be 8-feet tall but I also feel like walking on those might be my last walk ever,” I hear you. Balancing on these otherworldly, chunky, futuristic soles takes commitment, and if you’re not used to them, your feet will let you know. But your Groovs help distribute your weight evenly, so you can live your avant-garde dreams without the foot fatigue.
Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s
Phil Knight might have a little PTSD from these…Tiger’s retro kicks are sleek and stylish, but unfortunately flat as a board. What is lack in arch support and cushioning, they make up for in straight up vibes. But that’s where we come in—give these classics a modern level of comfort while keeping their iconic silhouette intact by slipping in your Groovs.
Maison Margiela Tabi Boots
The split-toe look isn’t for everyone, but if you’re rocking Tabis, you’re already making bold choices. One problem? They’re not exactly known for their arch support. With a properly trimmed Groov insert, though, you can flex your high-fashion moment without ending the night with sore feet. Performance meets performance art?
Converse Chuck 70s
Converse are timeless, but they’re also notorious for some back-pain after a long day. Have Chuck meet Groov and keep the minimalist look you love while giving your foot the support you didn’t even realize they needed.
TLDR? Groov isn’t just for your gym shoes. Whether you’re stepping out in a runway-level statement piece or keeping it classic with everyday sneakers, you can stay comfortable without sacrificing style. No compromises—just better feeling feet in whatever shoes you want.
Stay groovy,
