Grant Leeth is a former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, Division I coach, and the founder of Heilung Technology Footwear—a brand born at the intersection of elite athleticism, resilience, and science-driven innovation.
A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Grant’s wrestling journey began at just 6 years old. His path to the highest level of collegiate athletics was anything but easy. During his time at the University of Missouri, Grant underwent seven surgeries, including procedures on his cervical spine, shoulder, and knees. Doctors questioned whether he’d ever return to the mat—but his relentless drive proved otherwise. Not only did Grant come back, he finished his college career as an NCAA All-American, competing on wrestling’s biggest stage with a body held together by grit and titanium.
After his competitive career, Grant transitioned to coaching, serving as an assistant at Stanford University before being named Head Coach at Tarleton State University, where he launched the first Division I wrestling program in Texas history. His unique perspective—as both an injured athlete and a builder of new programs—shaped his understanding of what athletes and professionals need to perform at their best.
That understanding led to Heilung.
Grant founded Heilung with one goal: to create the most comfortable, health-conscious dress shoe ever made. Inspired by the orthotic solutions he relied on during recovery, Heilung shoes are engineered with copper-threaded insoles, rocker outsoles, and full-grain leather uppers—merging style, science, and support.
Grant’s mission is simple: empower professionals to move better, feel better, and live better—without sacrificing style.
Luciano Arroyo is a former NCAA Division I wrestler at Stanford University, co-founder of Heilung Technology Footwear, and an entrepreneur with a deep interest in recovery-focused design and early-stage startups.
His passion for footwear began early—his father worked in the industry for decades, producing sneakers for a major footwear company. Growing up around factories, samples, and design conversations, shoes were always part of his world.
During his time at Stanford, Luciano underwent multiple knee surgeries, which made long hours in traditional dress shoes a constant challenge. Despite an active lifestyle, he struggled to find footwear that offered both comfort and style—especially something supportive enough to wear all day without flaring up pain.
That challenge led to the creation of Heilung. Alongside co-founder Grant Leeth, Luciano helped design a recovery-driven dress shoe that blends the function of athletic footwear with the look of formal wear. Built with orthopedic features like rocker soles and advanced insoles, Heilung is made for people who move hard and recover smarter.
Luciano currently works in the AI industry and brings his passion for problem-solving into every project. Heilung reflects his belief in designing practical solutions for real-life needs—especially when it comes to movement, comfort, and long-term health.
At Heilung, we believe that comfort, health, and style should go hand in hand. Our mission is simple: to revolutionize the dress shoe industry by creating shoes that prioritize your well-being, without sacrificing sophistication.
Born from a passion for blending timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge health technology, Heilung shoes are designed for the active professional who refuses to compromise. Whether you’re powering through meetings, dashing between appointments, or simply on your feet all day, our shoes work as hard as you do.
Every pair of Heilung shoes is made from the finest 100% full-grain leather, ensuring not only durability but a luxury feel from the moment you slip them on. Inside, we've integrated copper threading to promote blood flow, regulate temperature, and fight bacteria—keeping your feet fresh and healthy all day long.
Our signature TTE outsole is the heart of Heilung. Designed with a unique rocker structure, it promotes better posture and a smoother stride, reducing fatigue and keeping you comfortable, no matter how long your day stretches.
The idea for Heilung was born out of frustration and a gap in the professional footwear market. Too many professionals face the daily struggle of balancing style and comfort when it comes to dress shoes. We asked ourselves: why should you have to choose? Our founders set out on a mission to create the most comfortable dress shoes in the market—shoes that are as good for your health as they are for your wardrobe.
We partnered with experts in footwear design, health professionals, and artisans to create a product that would redefine what a dress shoe could be. The result is Heilung—a brand dedicated to supporting active professionals like you.
