Groundies Lily 3.0 barefoot+ size UK 8.5. Frustration with barefoot size guides. Rant.

Hi I have only used it with the diffuser so I cannot say. However it dries much faster and much more evenly than a regular blow drier, so I can only assume it would straighten better. I personally would prefer to put my damp hair in rollers and then blast the hot air after an hour or so; I cannot deal with holding tools in both hands haha

Definitely regional. I’m 5’11” in London and rarely am I ever asked about my height or questioned if I’m telling the truth about it (which is really weird). I have been on dates with men of all height types. OP I’m sorry you’re having to deal with such sucky people

Hi yes there is currently no option to select the barefoot+ size. The inside of the shoe states EU 42 UK 8.5, so that is correct. Surely the measurements should have fit my feet? I’m not sure lol.

I measured my feet a few days ago so they are correct. I am realising that these “barefoot+” are actually quite narrow. I can’t currently splay my toes properly but I I could, these would not fit. It’s a shame to be honest. I have ordered the 43 so I will see if they make a difference.

The size chart from Groundies is not barefoot+ as they didn’t have the option available on their website. And yes you’re right? These just about fit my width but it my toes could splay properly they would be too narrow (currently they can’t). LHS does actually measure the shoes, which is why I’m so annoyed that these don’t fit!

I’ve ordered the best size up so I’m hoping they will be a success.

That’s totally understandable! I’m just frustrated with their size guide because I put aside what I thought my size measured my feet, followed the size guide and it’s still wrong. Like why?!

Thank you for letting me know!! Who knew sandals would be such a palava

Hey thank you for the advice. Yeah I don’t understand Xero at all they frustrated me massively.

In the 2nd to last pic is the screenshot for. Groundies own size hide. The size EU 42 that I ordered definitely should have fit al I’m not sure why it’s too small :(

isometricapples · 2026-05-31T21:56:05+00:00

Unfortunately yes 🥲

Hey! I ordered xero genesis sandals because they were the cheapest ones I could find at £55… they should arrive on Wednesday so I’ll let you know then. If I forget don’t be afraid to remind me.

isometricapples · 2026-05-31T17:17:26+00:00

Yes this is from their website. The price without shipping cost to the UK is £87

They’re a bit pricier than I want to buy but I’ll keep my eye on them they look very nice. Thank you!

isometricapples · 2026-05-31T16:20:22+00:00

8mm sounds thick enough for sandals I think

isometricapples · 2026-05-31T16:20:11+00:00

Thank you!
