No. Standard plastic/rubber or composite soles do not conduct the Earth’s electric energy. Most
shoes today are made from those materials. You need leather or hide soles, which used to be the
primary footwear materials in the past. Leather itself isn’t conductive, but the foot isn’t conductive, but the foot perspires and the perspires and the
moisture permits conduction of the energy from the Earth through the leather and up into the body.
In addition, moisture from walking on damp ground or sidewalks could permeate up into the leather sidewalks could permeate up into the leather
soled shoe. Thickness of the sole can soled shoe. Thickness of the sole can also be a fac also be a factor, and specifically that a very thick tor, and specifically that a very thick leather sole leather sole

Leather isn’t quite as good as bare feet on the ground but certainly much, much better than
standard soles that are standard soles that are insulating. Hopefully soon insulating. Hopefully soon shoe companies will begi shoe companies will begin making n making grounded grounded
shoes.
