These shoes are not stylish at all. I hated them at first and planned to return. The shoes are cut to high for my ankle. hurt my achillis tendon and the arch was not in right spot. Replaced the insoles and now after 2 week break in period I like them. I Do feel the extra work out in buns and thighs, this was the main reason I bought them. Comfort was not there compared to other Earth's I have worn. And they are just ugly, not cute ugly, band shoe ugly. ... But my butt is getting a workout.

One hour in these sneakers and I am hooked. I walked for an hour w/no problem or discomfort. When I switched to a regular pair of walking sneakers, I couldn’t believe the difference... your posture immediately goes forward and you get no advantages of the Exer-Walk. I’ll use my old sneakers for riding my bike, but will ONLY walk in Exer-Walk. I just ordered a second pair. I don’t care about styling in an exercise shoe.

Really nice shoes, super comfy and nice to walk in. No break-in needed, they felt great right out of the box. I have several other pairs of Earth shoes, and love them all. The negative heel is great for Plantar Fasciitis, and has greatly reduced the back and hip pain I have had for years.

Really cute and comfy. Runs a little short, I wear 7 1/2 in Earth shoes, but needed 8 1/2 in these. Bought the white and gray, came back for the black which are really nice looking. Recommended highly!

This was a disappointment. I’ve worn Earth shoes before and expected these to be as advertised. However, they were not a light pair of shoes, just normal weight. BUT these were extremely uncomfortable. I used them on the treadmill walking about 3.6 miles per hour for 1 hour and my feet were killing me afterwards. They seemed to fit, but hit my ankles. Since I’d already walked in these shoes, I’m giving them away as I can’t wait to find the break-in time on these. I would not buy Earth sneakers again.

I love my shoes, I saw them in a magazine and was going to order them from the store website. They were out so I went to Zappos. Same price with no shipping and I got them within 3 days. The first day I wore them my back hurt a little at the end of the day, but you could feel them working in your abs!!! I know sounds crazy, I haven't had them long enough to see a big difference but I still love them and Zappos.

These earth walking shoes are wonderful. They fit perfectly. Great toe base area and do help you stand up straight. I like that they look like regular fitness shoes, but have the Earth shoe configuration inside. I have a high arch and they are very supportive. They are attractive and very comfortable. I use them for walking and working out. Great buy!

These shoes are very lightweight and quite comfortable. I decided to try them not for the claimed exercise benefits (although if true, it is another plus), but because I suffer from Morton's Neuroma. I needed a shoe that would take the pressure off of the front of my feet. This shoe does it with it's negative heel technology and I have so far found great comfort. My feet tend to get quite warm in them, but I found using a thinner sock has helped. These shoes naturally have good arch support because the heel is lower than the toes (It took a few wearings to get used to that). Overall, a good supportive shoe for my needs and for the money.

Great price, adequate shoe. Arch support less than I needed.

These shoes are comfortable out of the box. They take a little getting used to with the negative heel, but not long. There is a great deal of room in the toe box that make the shoes look a little clunkier than my other walking shoes, but also makes them so comfortable and I don't wear them for fashion. Comfortable walking shoe.

I loved the idea and have worn them on my walks since I got them . My first walk I got 3 blisters on the front of my toes and it continued for the next time. My front big toe has a callus now which I don't like but I will continue to wear these with bandaids! See if they work.....

These shoes are a good value, supportive, not too heavy, and comfortable. I don't know if they actually help burn calories, but I do feel that my posture improves when I'm walking in them. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

This shoe is great for walking. The design moves with your foot perfectly. However, if you have to stand still for any length of time, it is murder. The 3.7 degree incline puts all the pressure on your heels.

Great price for very nice pair of Earth shoes. I usually wear size 8, but they were too big, so I got a replacement 7.5, which works great (plus Zappos customer service rocks). They were a bit tight on a heel (no blisters) at the beginning, but now they are OK. I love them and wear them every day. The style itself is also very nice. I got desert color and it matches almost everything (casual wear). They are a bit on a wide side as my feet are narrow, but I am OK with that.

The exercise feature is noticeable even wearing them in the house but is great for walking and helps keep my steps correctly placed when one foot wants to turn out of alignment and my legs to core feel the workout. I love the color and the nice chic for a sneaker over white or black, so I can wear them casually every where and go shopping and get in exercise walking every place I go. Saves some time and speeds up the toning process of walking for fitness when time is limited.

They sort of look like boats on my feet, but I could immediately feel the backs of my legs working hard when I went for a long walk. I wear a 7.5 in regular shoes, but an 8 in workout shoes. These were an 8 and felt perfect.

I originally purchased a pair of the Skechers ShapeUps, but the heel was too thick and made my pants look too short. I also didn't like the rocking motion I had when I walked. I tried the Earth Exer-Walk because the bottom looks like a normal athletic shoe and I didn't have to worry about my short-pants phobia. They take a little getting used to because your heel sits lower than the rest of your foot, but after a trip to the mall I was fine with them. My husband thinks they look funny because the toe of the shoe curves up from the floor, but I guess this is necessary for them to work your muscles properly. Although they're not particularly attractive, I'm not embarrassed to wear them (I've seen worse). They also seem to run true to size and are pretty comfortable. After I've worn them a long time, I have noticed that the back of the heel rubs on my right foot because they come up a little higher in the back than I'm used to. I'm sure I'll get used to this after I've worn them more. I can definitely feel a pull in my hamstrings when I wear them, and they seem to work you harder than a regular pair of athletic shoes. I don't think they're the only reason for my losing five pounds in the last couple of weeks, but I'm sure they've helped.

Nice looking comfortable shoe. It's lightweight and the "exercise" action is not overly noticeable. Think they run a little large, but I'm OK with my usual size. I feel they are well worth the price, too.
