All About Grounding Socks
Grounding, or earthing, is the practice of physically connecting to the Earth’s natural electrical field — something our modern lifestyles often pull us away from. Concrete, synthetic flooring, and insulated shoes can all act as barriers to that connection, leaving our bodies slightly out of sync with the planet’s subtle charge. Tru47 Grounding Socks are designed to restore that harmony.
Each pair is crafted with 99.99% pure silver-plated thread, a natural conductor known for its ability to transfer the Earth’s electrons through direct contact. When worn barefoot outdoors on natural surfaces like grass, soil, or unsealed stone — or indoors with a grounding mat — these socks help facilitate a gentle flow of energy that may help you feel calmer, more centered, and physically balanced. The benefits go far beyond conductivity, though. Silver is also antimicrobial and thermoregulating, helping keep your feet fresh, cool, and comfortable all day long. Whether you’re walking barefoot in your backyard, stretching after a workout, or winding down for rest, Tru47 Grounding Socks invite you to reconnect — to yourself, your surroundings, and the energy beneath you.
Every pair blends function, science, and sensory comfort:
- Grounding Silver Threads – Promote conductivity and natural energy balance.
- Breathable Natural Fibers – Merino wool or combed cotton for softness and stretch.
- Sustainable Design – Durable, easy to wear, and made for everyday wellness.
Grounding may sound simple — because it is, especially with the right aids. Yet, the feeling it delivers is profound: a quiet sense of calm, balance, and presence that modern life often overlooks.
Why Tru47?
At Tru47, every product begins with a promise — to be true to purity, purpose, and the power of nature. Our Grounding Socks Collection embodies that promise by combining ancient wisdom with modern design.
1. The Science of Silver.
Tru47 is known for its pioneering use of pure silver across wellness and lifestyle essentials. Silver’s conductive properties make it the perfect partner for grounding, while its natural antimicrobial qualities support hygiene and comfort. It’s clean, sustainable, and powerfully simple.
2. Purposeful Materials.
Only premium, breathable fabrics are chosen to pair with silver threads. Merino wool offers warmth and moisture-wicking comfort, while combed cotton provides lightweight versatility. Both blends allow the silver to maintain full contact with the skin for consistent conductivity.
3. Designed for Real Life.
Grounding shouldn’t require a lifestyle overhaul. Tru47 designs products that fit seamlessly into your day — socks that look and feel like luxury basics yet quietly support balance and wellness behind the scenes.
4. Made to Last, Made with Intention.
Each pair is crafted to endure, maintaining conductivity through careful weaving and mindful construction. Because grounding isn’t a trend — it’s a reconnection to something timeless.
What are grounding socks?
Grounding socks are socks made with highly-conductive yarns that enable one to get ground when the foot in the socks comes in contact directly with a conductive surface or a shoe that is conductive and “grounding”. In some cases, socks have a band of silver thread across the ball of the foot. This may help someone get grounded when on the earth or a conductive product, however, unless the silver or conductive threads run continuously throughout the sock, it will not be thermal conductive and have the maximum benefits of inhibiting the growth of odor-causing germs.
Are “grounding” socks and “earthing” socks the same thing?
Yes, the terms grounding and earthing mean exactly the same thing. The phrase earthing was created as a marketing label to also differentiate the actual process. Being grounded, however, is the real thing. Getting the electrons from the earth into your body.
Do grounding socks really work?
Grounding socks absolutely work and ground a wearer when they are walking, touching, or standing on a grounded conductive surface. Nothing beats bare sin to the ground, however, many people don’t like going barefoot, so grounding socks are an excellent alternative.
What are the benefits of grounding socks?
Grounding socks enable wearers to get grounded when they choose to wear something on their feet versus going barefoot. They also are a great product to use in conjunction with other grounding products to further enhance the grounding impact.
Who can benefit from grounding socks?
Any person who chooses to get grounded can wear grounding socks. At TRU47 they are offered in both Merino wool and combed cotton in various styles to meet different lifestyles. We offer grounding socks in both adult and children’s sizes.
What materials are grounding socks made from?
TRU47’s grounding socks are made of the highest quality Merino wool and also combed cotton blended with nylon and elasticized fibers to ensure comfort and stretch. The materials as well as the manufacturing are done in the USA by an American knitting mill. All socks contain pure 99% silver electroless, three-dimensionally plated yarn throughout the toes, heels, and entire soles which ensures the highest level of conductivity, performance, comfort, and wearability.
Do grounding socks need to be connected to a grounding cord to work?
Grounding socks need to be connected to a grounding chord when used indoors unless they are already in touch on a grounded conductive surface like a grounding bed band. When outside, they do not need any cord, just direct contact with the earth. TRU47 does not recommend having wires attached to socks indoors; it can cause accidents and tripping. Our socks are made with such a high degree of conductive silver that merely touching another conductive bed band or mat will make them ground.
Where can I use grounding or earthing socks?
TRU47 created the first-ever grounding sock made with pure electroless plated silver for outdoor use and indoor connectivity to a grounded bed garment or band. Others have yet to achieve the same excellence in design and fabrication.
How do I choose the best grounding socks for me?
To choose the best grounding socks we always recommend you research what is available. As with all other grounding products, we caution you against purchasing knockoff brands and socks with low levels of conductive threads. We are also not proponents of any socks that require a wire. Again, we are biased – with good reason – as we created grounding socks to be useful, extremely comfortable, effective, and grounding.
Can I wear grounding socks while I sleep or on long flights, and will I stay grounded the whole time?
Yes. Grounding socks are ideal for extended wear, including during sleep or long periods of travel. To stay grounded, you’ll need direct skin contact with a conductive surface — such as a grounding mat, grounded sheet, or natural earth outdoors. On flights or indoors, where grounding surfaces may not be available, our grounding socks still offer comfort, breathability, and the natural benefits of silver. When combined with proper grounding setups, they can support relaxation and balance even when your body is at rest.
How long should I wear grounding socks each day before I might notice changes in things like sleep, stress, or recovery?
Every body responds differently, but many Tru47 customers report feeling a sense of calm or improved restfulness after incorporating grounding into their daily routine for 15 to 30 minutes a day. Over time, consistent grounding practices — whether through socks, mats, or other contact points — may support better energy balance, focus, and sleep quality. The key is consistency. Think of grounding as a daily ritual rather than a quick fix — small moments that collectively create meaningful change.
What types of indoor and outdoor surfaces do grounding socks work best on, and which surfaces don’t allow effective grounding?
Grounding works best on natural, conductive surfaces like grass, soil, sand, unsealed stone, or untreated concrete. When your Tru47 Grounding Socks make contact with these surfaces, the silver threads act as a conduit, helping transfer the Earth’s electrons to your body.
Non-conductive surfaces such as asphalt, vinyl, wood floors, or sealed concrete do not allow grounding to occur. For indoor grounding, you can connect your socks to a certified grounding mat or grounding system that replicates Earth’s energy indoors.
How should I wash and dry grounding socks so they keep their conductivity and stay effective over time?
To preserve conductivity and softness:
- Hand wash or machine wash on gentle in cool water using mild, natural detergent.
- Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or dryer sheets, as they can coat or degrade silver fibers.
- Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Proper care keeps the silver threads intact, ensuring your socks remain beautifully conductive and durable for years to come.
Are grounding socks safe to use if I have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, or certain medical conditions?
If you have a pacemaker, electrical implant, or chronic medical condition, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider before beginning any grounding practice. Tru47’s grounding socks are designed for general wellness and comfort, but as with all conductive products, tailored medical guidance is important to ensure safe and appropriate use.
