I love my Earth Ambition. I switched to Earth Ambition from a very well known and reputable brand because I am on my feet all day long and my back was hurting me. The back ache went away the day I put my Ambition on. I am sold on the Negative Heel Technology. I wear them everywhere, to the gym, to work. I own several pairs.

I have very flat, wide feet that have pained me for 13 years. I was very close to opting for surgery when I found these shoes. They feel amazing, they give me the arch I\\\'ve never had.

I haven't had a shoe feel this good since I wore orthopedic black and white saddle oxfords as a child. At last one with an arch support high enough to hold my very flexible foot upright. I always wore a size 7 AA with a AAAA heel until I got older and gained some weight. I developed a Morton's neuroma because of ill fitting shoes. Little did I know that my feet had actually gotten bigger. I have bought an unknown number of shoes and given them away after a couple of wearings because they caused an increase in pain. My husband thinks of my shoe purchases as buying shoes for the poor. The wide forefoot, narrow heel and anatomical footbed are the perfect combination! My foot doesn't hurt! I wore the original Earth shoes in the 70's when I was in nursing school and loved the Kalso negative heel. This is not exactly a running shoe but, hopefully, it will work and I can resume an activity I really enjoyed. Looks like I have fallen in love with Earth shoes all over again.
Brands I'd also recommend: Will let you know if I find one.

Earth shoes are unlike any other. I love them. These rubbed my heel on one foot the first time I wore them, but I think it was due to the way I had tied them. After the first wear, they're fine! My feet feel great when I wear them.

I tried these shoes because I have very flat, wide feet and bad ankles. These shoes are a dream. My ankles do not hurt at all when I walk in them and the arch support is great too. I will get these again.

Incredibly comfortable. Was able to start using with out a break-in period. Use them for all my walking although my legs do get pretty tired vs. using my other sneakers. Therefore, they must be working. They do make my feet look bigger, but that\'s of no concern.

I bought these the 2 days before I was to go on a 3 mile charity walk and everyone said I was crazy for trying to break in new shoes when I hadn’t been walking in over a year. Let me say, they do what they say they’re supposed to do. Within the first 15 minutes, I could feel the burn. I thought that my feet would be sore, but that’s the opposite. My feet felt great and these shoes helped me work out muscles I should’ve needed weights to feel the burn for. My calves, thighs, bottom, and back were worked out. GREAT shoes! Well worth the money!!! The only thing is I’m a size 11 in women’s, and I bought a size 12 just in case. Well, they weren’t big. The size 12 fit perfect, even though I’m a size 11. And as far as the width goes, I need wide shoes and usually my toes hurt, but they were perfect the whole way through!

These are great shoes and true to size. They are so comfy with a good sole and just the right amount of arch support for my flat feet. I will buy another pair when I wear out these ones.

Very comfortable, and I immediately liked the slight incline; it seemed my posture falls easily into alignment. Works well for me, and I'd like to get more Earth shoes, as they're very comfortable.

These shoes were a perfect fit to my normal size. They are comfortable and help eliminate my lower back pain when doing household chores. I wear them around the house when doing housework and they keep my back feeling great and in alignment. I no longer feel tired and need to rest after doing the weekly cleaning and laundry. I will always keep a pair of these around. I also have a pair of Earth Sandals and wear them in warmer weather.

I love these shoes! I have a lot of foot problems, but walking at work on hard concrete floors is a breeze with these shoes. Also, my legs get a good workout and are getting stronger. This is my 6th pair of Earth shoes and I love them all!

I am a nursing student and I also work part time so I am on my feet a lot. I was coming home after school/work with tired, sore feet and back pain so I decided it was time for new shoes. These are great! No more pain in my back or feet and it is so relieving to go through the day comfortably. I highly recommend these shoes!

These are top of the line athletic shoes for active people of any age. They are true to size, and I love the way my body feels when walking in them. The shoes provide just the right amount of postural adjustment for which Earth Shoes is known. They have a good arch support and sufficient room in the toe box. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

These Earth shoes, along with many other styles have saved my life - and my disposition as a teacher. I had plantar faciitis (sp?) and tried many other shoes, expensive orthodics etc. and had no relief. I had to take a stool outside to sit out at the playground. All of my shoes are now Earth brand and I am pain free. \r\nThanks to Zappos who carry many styles to wear with any outfit and... amazingly often deliver my shoes by the day after I order them!!!
Brands I'd also recommend: I am hooked on Earth shoes and will probably never order any other brand for the rest of my life.

I am a recent convert to Earth shoes and I love them. Because I could feel the effects of the sandals on my legs and abs, I figured it would be even better to have walking shoes with the incline. And I was right. You really feel the effect as you walk and I like the assistance they give in keeping proper pelvic alignment. They are built well, have good support, and the wide toe box is great. In terms of sizing, I usually wear a 7 and ordered a 7.5, as my size 7 Earth sandal was an exact fit and I figured I'd need more space for socks and potential swelling. The slightly larger size works well for me. These are great. Enjoy your workout!

I love these shoes. They take a little getting used to because one is always walking uphill, but that doesn't take long. I use them on the treadmill for a 2.5 mile walk daily and I am actually considering extending the length because I feel so good, and I am almost 70 years old. Highly recommended.

This negative heel that Earth Shoe offers has made a big difference in my overall comfort. I own 3 pair of the Ambition, one for the gym, one for travel, and one for walking and trail hiking. The 3.7 degree of flexion that the foot stays in is just what I needed. It's supportive, is made well, the leather is good, and it serves me very well. In addition, I found shopping at Zappos to be an unexpected and very satisfying experience. Zappos is utterly geared toward customer service as well as satisfaction. When I first ordered the Ambition, a day prior to needing the shoes delivered to a family member's home, as I was traveling with a healing foot problem and needed to be walking 2 days later for a day at Universal Studios with my son and his family, the shoes arrived on time. I was assured the duplicate sizes ordered in order to have a size selection would be no problem to exchange, and it wasn't. In fact, it couldn't have been easier. Zappos no charge for overnight shipping, as well as return is great. I have since shopped with another online store for an Earth shoe style Zappos didn't have. They didn't offer the level of service or organization that I enjoyed at Zappos. This is more information than you wanted or asked for. Just wanted to let someone know how much I appreciate Zappos.
Brands I'd also recommend: Don\'t know how to answer that one. Earth shoes are, to my knowledge, the only negative heel shoe around. If others exist, I\'d like to know about them.

I really, really like these shoes. They are very comfortable...no break-in period for me at all. I can feel them working the backs of my legs as I walk (I walk about 7 miles every day in my job.) I was very happy that they offered them in all black, as I have to wear black shoes. Very, very good investment for me. I think they run a little large. I usually wear a 7 in Earth shoes, but I had to get a 6 1/2 in this model. But the returns with Zappos are very easy and I had no problems at all.

I credit these shoes with improvement of my plantar fasciitis. I wear them at work, where I do a lot of walking; at first the pain seemed to increase because of the unaccustomed foot position, but over the next couple of weeks, my foot gradually felt a lot better. This is my first pair of Earth shoes, and I’m pleased. My only negative comment is that the tongue slides a bit to the side after only a little walking, which isn’t uncomfortable, but doesn’t look very good.
