Incredible collaboration with BEAMS. Flawless construction, no popped threads or mis-stitch, no glue spots... really thick and smooth canvas - perfection. The boots are HEAVY. Between the mudguard, thick tread, and waxed laces, they feel apocalypse ready. They are incredibly well cushioned and broke in within a few hours. At the advice of the internet, I went 1/2 size larger than my chuck 70s and they fit beautifully - both length and width. I do have slightly wide feet. Only warning... these things turn into ice skates on wet hard surfaces. Would not recommend in a professional kitchen or on a boat.
All our sneakers are listed in standard US sizing. To convert from men’s to women’s sizes, add 1.5 sizes to the men’s size (for example, a men’s 7 is equivalent to a women’s 8.5).
Customers often prefer sizing up for a more comfortable fit in our Center and All-American franchises. Try a ½ size above your normal sneaker size.

Made for exploration, The Grounder BEAMs+ High-Top is the perfect blend of heritage, utility, and craftsmanship. Originally designed for tactical military missions, this reimagined spin on our archival shoe elevates the silhouette with dependable detail.
Classic navy canvas infuses elegance, keeping wear breathable while referencing the polish of timeless Ivy League style. Reinterpreting the texture of locally sourced vintage pieces, the proprietary BEAMS+ fabric translates traditional American workwear for modern wear. Monochrome dark blue accents add to the tactility while introducing functional reinforcement.
Made for versatile styling, this limited-edition high-top embodies innovation. Thoughtful detail, like a gusseted tongue and rubber mudguard, offers everyday resilience. Deeper lugs in the newly engineered outsole increase grip strength for enhanced traction and stability. Combined with the superior cushioning of our signature Posture Foundation insole, this upgraded version of The Grounder streamlines adaptable wear.
