    Very cute style plus warm and comfortable! They seem to run large so plan on thick socks or try a half size smaller. The leg opening is larger than I preferred it to be, but you can pull the ties tighter, so it\'s adjustable. I chose the peanut color with black around the bottom edge and over the toe and it makes your feet look smaller! I sprayed them with leather waterproofing right after opening and they look fine. I have bunions and only buy Earth shoes now because I get total relief -- since the weight of the body is more on the heel than on the front part of the foot.

    Earth is my favorite brand, but these boots are very large and boxy, as well as very stiff, which means that I couldn\'t pull the laces tight enough and the boot slipped on my heel. I think even a half size smaller would not have worked for me, but if you have wide feet they may work for you. They did appear to have good arch support.

    Comfortable, warm, but kind of ugly - This is my first pair of Earth shoes, and I will give them credit for being very comfortable. The footbed was very supportive, and combined with the thinsulate lining and the fur trim, I think these boots would be very cozy. I was concerned with the laces, but I found the lace and the loops to be pretty robust. I ordered the peanut leather color and found the leather to be a bit stiff at the top, but I think over time it would become more supple and you would be able to to tighten the laces tighter. I agree with the other reviewers that this shoe runs large. I am normally an 8, but ordered the 7.5 and it fit perfectly. I am returning these boots because, even though they are warm and comfortable, they are not very cute. My size 7.5s looked like size 10s. The specially-shaped Earth sole is much more apparent in person than in the photographs. As I am looking for boots for streetwear in an urban environment rather than utilitarian winter snow boots, these just don't work for me.

    I am absolutely in love with these boots! They are so comfortable; I look forward to wearing them every day. I would compare the feeling to walking on clouds. I bought the khaki suede and find them to complement my winter wardrobe of jeans, cords, and sweaters well. They do a run a tad big; however, that adds to the overall cozy fit, since the design places your toes higher than your heel, you need ample foot room. My expectations of this boot were beyond surpassed. I would definitely purchase these in another color, I adore them so much!

    About Kalso Earth

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Kalso Earth are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    Starting in Denmark in the late ‘60s, a global frenzy was set off by the introduction of a line of comfortable shoes based on the simple principles of everyday, whole-body wellness. Developed by a then-little-known Danish yoga instructor, Anne Kalso, the shoes triggered an emergence of a Euro-comfort movement in the United States.

    Kalso Earth® shoes have a negative heel based on the popular yoga "Mountain" pose, designed to mimic walking barefoot in the sand. By naturally positioning the body over the frame, posture is improved and joint stress is reduced.

    Kalso Earth shoes define wellness footwear as we know it today.

    Excellent footwear. Absolutely comfortable. I haven't worn anything else since I bought them. Fits a size smaller than marked. I'm normally an 8.5, but I fit an 8 in this brand. Excellent arch support, unlike the Uggs everyone is buying. These literally feel molded to your foot somehow. It's incredibly comfortable. And this style is my absolute favorite.

    I love my Earth boots. They are so warm and comfortable. Finally a winter boot that I can wear all the time and walk around in comfortably! They do run a half size big. I had excellent service with Zappos. My first pair were too big so I ordered a second pair in a smaller size and received them the next day and returning the first pair was simple! They do have to be treated for snow and rain. I would highly recommend these boots!

    These are great boots! They are roomy enough to wear heavy socks for those cold winter days and nights. They are very comfortable. They are somewhat loose fitting and the low shank is so not appropriate for more than six inches of snow. They worked wonderfully in our 4 inch snowfall. I'm very satisfied with them and recommend them.

    Best boot I've ever owned. They are so comfortable and I feel like I'm getting some exercise wearing them. My husband loves them and comments on them all of the time! I sprayed mine with waterproofing before I wore them for the first time. They are staying amazingly clean and we've had some pretty awful weather so far. I don't mind shopping in these boots either. They are like running around in a pair of slippers! Give them a try. I would highly recommend them!

    These boots are so comfy. I have a wide foot and ordered my usual size 8. They fit well with plenty of room for thick socks. The khaki color is really more of an attractive taupe and looks so good with jeans, Zappos sent them out so fast, and I received them the next day.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Born, Columbia, and Easy Spirit

    I am a believer in earth shoes and have 3 pair now. I have to stop myself from ordering more and more! I had a bad right knee but if I only wear my earth shoes it does not hurt! I particularly love these boots but they are slippery in the snow so be careful. It was nothing to send them back for. They are very well made and very comfortable. They do tend to run slightly large and they make my feet look a little bigger.

    I have a wide foot and it was very comfortable for me. I’m used to using orthotics, but the insole was so well done I didn’t need them. I shoveled snow for 2 1/2 hours wearing these with a pair of Smartwool socks and my feet never got the slightest bit cold. If the snow is deep you do need to have the boot inside your pant leg or else snow will definitely get in around your ankle. The smooth leather version has a finish as if a bunch of mink oil was worked into it, which, I think, is why they stayed dry in the snow.

    Loved the look of these, but when I got them on, they were clunky and made my feet look huge. Size 8 was too big and size 7.5 was better but it didn’t help the clunkiness factor. You can’t walk around in these and feel graceful or feminine. I got the Sorel Maribels instead.

    The best fitting and most comfortable footbed I've experienced in a long time! I had to downsize, so they do run large...but, with the Zappos exchange program it wasn't a problem. If you have to walk outside in the cold/snow I highly recommend these boots. They are mountain lifestyle cool!
