Just what I was looking for -
This shoe is cute and great for everyday wear. The arch support doesn't quite hit in the right place, so it's not great for lots of walking.

These shoes are very comfy, and so cute. However, I can't even wear mine because the backs of the shoes dig so hard into my heels that I develop huge blisters. The size of the shoe fits well, but the heel forms a cup that is very uncomfortable.

My new hippie skippers! This is by far one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever had. My work requires the use of good body mechanics and my Earth sandals have helped out very well. I’m not a big fan of socks, so to start out with, I did have some slight discomfort around the cross strap but that has passed. Love the flower on the side – super cute. I love my hippie skippers.

Relief!
I started a new job where I had to stand all day...any shoes I wore didn't work...my feet would hurt a few hours in and would ache by the end of the day. So I bought these and they have been a lifesaver! I have worn them for almost a year now at the same job and my feet feel great and don't hurt or ache at all during work and after! They really work great!

Took some breaking in, but worth it -
I don't usually buy shoes this expensive, but I work a standing job where I can't wear sneakers, and my cheap shoes weren't cutting it, even with inserts in, so I bit the bullet and bought these - I won't buy suede or leather, and needed something that would hold up.
I was worried at first because these were so stiff and I spent the first week or 2 with blisters and foot pain. I covered the blistering areas with mole foam and hoped they'd loosen up.
I've now been wearing these as my main work shoe for some time, and I have no more blistering and no more pain. I stand in them for hours at a time and am comfortable, and I like the look of them. I recommend that you break these in slowly if purchased and don't wear them for long stretches at first, but after a bit of wear I'm pleased with them.

They have NO padding at the back of the heel, which may be bother some people but constantly bruises my foot. I would not recommend these shoes.

LOVE THEM!!
Love these shoes!!! I am usually between an 8 and an 8 1/2. I ordered the 8 and they fit perfectly - like a glove! They feel like they were molded to my feet. I ordered them assuming I would wear them with socks, so have not tried them without. They are totally comfortable and SO cute!! I love them so much I am planning to order them in another color. And the fact that they are vegan is even better!!!

Must wear with socks.
I bought these shoes to wear to work with skirts, and I hated them! They constantly gave me blisters no matter how hard I tried to 'break them in'.
When I went back to school, I gave these a second chance as casual shoes with socks and jeans. Now they are some of my most comfortable shoes, and I do notice my back hurting less when I wear them (and my feet hurting not at all.)
The moral of the story: buy these only if you always intend to wear them with socks, and you can get yourself a comfortable pair of shoes that is easy to slip on and off, but stay on better than clogs, etc.

I really like these shoes.
I needed some nice shoes for work. I work in an office in a large manufacturing plant, so there's a long walk to anywhere. These have met all my needs, being dressy looking, and not hurting my feet, or my back.

If it only had a better heel cup -
I read about these shoes digging into the back of the heel before I bought them, but I figured they would eventually stretch out. No such luck! I have had them for nearly a year and they still dig horribly into my heel after any moderate walking. Which is a shame, because they are so comfortable everywhere else! As long as you don't need a good walking shoe, they're fine. But if you plan on walking be prepared for thick socks and band-aids.

Comfy versatile shoe -
This shoe is great for people with bunions. It completely removes the pressure from the front part of the foot and shifts it to the back.
Although it can be worn with both jeans and slacks, I could not pull it off with a pleated skirt or fancy attire. It's hard to find a comfortable fancy shoe!

OK, but can't wear everyday...
Love the look, but back rubs heel, so you need to wear socks. Nice fit otherwise. I'm not a sock person, so almost sent these back. Decided to keep them for the fall months.

Loved them!
This shoe fits perfectly and feels so good on my feet. Great arch support and cushioned insole which is great since I have a neuroma and have had plantar fasciitis. This is a great shoe for the middle-aged baby boomer. I highly recommend it.

Vegan tastes better than it wears...
I have a closet full of Earth shoes but I won't be buying a pair of vegan ones again. This shoe did not breathe on my foot; even though I have this shoe in two other colors in leather and don't have this problem. Bottom line the shoe started to stink. I've been tempted to toss the shoes but I just let them air out for several days in between wearings...and the plastic on the toe...cheap material that has worn a hole in one side and almost a hole on the other...One of the other pairs of this shoe I have...I've had 3 years...these barely lasted 3 months. That's not very environmentally friendly. I will stick with the leather.

Comfortable and cute -
Next to my Birkenstocks these are the most comfortable shoes I own. There's enough room for my toes (bunion included) and the lower heel makes my knees feel good. The elastic strap is strong yet flexible and keeps the shoe on.

Vegan Earth Shoes -
These are quite comfortable and you could be fooled into thinking they are made of suede. They are totally vegan though and very easy to wear all day. I have lower back pain, but not on the days that I wear Earth shoes.

Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Cute shoes, didn't fit right -
These shoes are adorable and after reading all of the reviews, I decided to give them a try. After first putting them on, they felt very uncomfortable, but within minutes my feet/ankles adjusted. The left shoe fit perfectly, but the right shoe gave me a blister because it was too big. It could be because my feet are different sizes, although I have never had this issue before with shoes. I had to return them. Bummer!

Wonderful shoe!
I ordered this shoe because I have posture problems and I wanted a cute shoe to help with that. I love the inverted heel in the Earth brand shoes, it's a little funny at first, but you quickly get used to it and it feels great! These shoes look really cute too. I ordered them in the wine color and they go with almost anything. Great shoe overall!
