Our Journey

A Journey Back to Energy, Nature, and Ourselves

I didn't set out to make a slipper. I set out to understand energy.

For years, I've been exploring what it means to feel truly alive — not just mentally sharp or physically awake, but deeply connected to the world around me. I've practiced meditation, studied breathwork, and paid close attention to how I feel in different environments. Then something simple, almost silly, sparked a shift in me: a video my friend sent of people walking barefoot on grass, claiming it healed them. At first, I laughed. But something about it stayed with me.

I started experimenting with grounding — sleeping directly on the floor, sometimes after a night of drinking, sometimes sober. Admittedly, the early trials weren't exactly scientific (and yes, alcohol was often involved). But what surprised me was how I felt the morning after. Less fog. Less fatigue. Less of that heavy, disconnected feeling.

Over time, I noticed something consistent: the closer I was to the ground — to nature — the faster I seemed to recover. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. I felt restored.

I thought about Steve Jobs, who often walked barefoot to feel more grounded. I thought about how, in our modern lives, we're constantly insulated — from the earth, from each other, from ourselves. Our shoes, our homes, our routines... they protect us, but they also separate us.
So I had an idea:
What if there was a way to reconnect — without having to give everything up?

That's how Lotus Kaika was born. A slipper that feels good, looks great, and subtly helps reconnect you to the natural energy of the earth — using metal grounding points placed at the pressure centers of your feet. You can wear it around your home, or even take it into the world. It's soft, stylish, and just a little different — like walking barefoot, but without the stares.

I'm not a scientist, and I'm not here to make medical claims. What I am is someone who felt something. And I wanted to share that feeling with others — that quiet spark of energy, that calm clarity that comes from reconnecting with the ground beneath you.

Lotus Kaika isn't just a slipper. It's a step toward remembering what it feels like to be human.

I hope you feel it too.
