What Surfaces Are Best for Grounding?

The simple science behind which surfaces ground you and which don’t.

By the Earthing Revolution 

One of the questions we hear most often is:
“What surfaces are best for grounding?”

The short answer — natural, damp surfaces are best.

Grass, soil, and sand allow the Earth’s electrons to flow freely into your body, helping to balance your nervous system, reduce inflammation, and bring a sense of calm and clarity.

When you’re barefoot on these surfaces — especially after a little rain or morning dew — your body is literally recharging from the ground up.

Surfaces to Avoid

Surfaces like asphalt, rubber, wood, and plastic block this natural energy exchange.
They act as insulators, preventing you from connecting to the Earth’s electrical field. That’s why walking barefoot on pavement or wearing synthetic-soled shoes won’t deliver the same benefits.

If you’re outdoors often but prefer a bit of protection for your feet, look for earthing-friendly footwear that allows conductivity — like our Coachella Grounding Slipslops — designed with a conductive plug so you can stay grounded wherever you go.
You can browse them in our Earthing Products Collection.

How to Ground Indoors

There are times when going barefoot outside isn’t possible — maybe it’s winter, raining, or you’re spending long hours at your desk.
That’s where indoor grounding tools come in.

Our Grounding Mats are scientifically designed to mimic the same electron flow you’d receive from direct contact with the Earth.
They’re a simple, research-backed way to stay connected while you sleep, work, or relax at home.

Reconnect Naturally

Grounding isn’t just a wellness practice — it’s a return to nature’s rhythm.
Whether you’re barefoot on the grass, walking along the beach, or using a grounding mat indoors, every moment of connection helps restore balance in your body.

Explore the full range of official Clint Ober–certified grounding products — from mats to footwear — in our Earthing Products Collection, and experience what it means to be truly connected, wherever you are.
