Very Pleased -
This shoe is extremely comfortable and is great for anyone with back problems. I ordered a 9, which is my normal size and it was a perfect fit. I have two other pairs of Earth shoes. This was my first time ordering from Zappos and I was very pleased. I received my shoes the next day, as promised. The return policy is wonderful also. I have referred this site to my family and friends.
Thanks Zappos!

Vegan shoes -
I ordered the Earth Solar Vegan shoe at the request of my daughter. The shoe is very well made and extremely comfortable. Since it is difficult to purchase quality styled shoes that are not made of leather or animal skins, this shoe is definitely a find. Thanks for your quick delivery and wonderful product.

Cute Vegan Shoes!
I've been looking for a cute, vegan shoe that was comfortable enough to stand in all day. The negative heel felt a little odd at first, but it feels great after wearing them for a couple of weeks. I like the stability that the shoe offers, and the wiggle room in the toe box. The back of the shoe did rub my Achilles tendon quite a bit, even through socks and tights. This, too, improved after wearing them for two weeks. I do wish that they had a regular buckle, rather than a velcro closure. The velcro has a tendency to snag my tights. Yikes!

A great alternative to heels :)
These shoes are a dream come true. Seriously, I spent the better part of two years hobbling around my office in cheap plastic heels until I found these little vegan miracles. They took about a week to break-in, and I got achy shins from being forced to walk heel-to-toe, but now I can be on my feet for 8 hours a day and still run after the bus--my feet feel freaking fantastic.

My new favorite shoes!
My first pair of Earth shoes, and I'm loving them. The negative heel is wonderful. They took a couple of wearings to break-in the strap around my foot and the back of the shoe by my ankle (just needed a couple band aids for a bit:) but, now they are perfectly comfortable! I would definitely recommend these shoes. Love the look of them as well, very versatile.

I really like them, but...
These shoes really are great, despite the fact that I can only give them 4 stars. The reasons: they're really cute, aside from this silly flap of material on the heel that makes them look like shoes my grandmother might wear. Still cute with a skirt, but not as cute as they could be. Overall the shoes are really comfortable, although I have tall (as opposed to wide) feet, so the strap took a little breaking in. One other issue: they sort of smell like plastic/vinyl when they're really warm (in the sun after wearing them all day). I still love them, but I may have to try a different style of Earth shoes next time.

Wonderful shoes!
For the past 2 years I have had problems wearing enclosed shoes due to a problem with my toes. I have tried all brands and styles of shoes, but every pair caused my toes to hurt. The instant I put the Earth shoes on, it was heaven! I was a little apprehensive about getting them because of reviews about the heel, but they didn't bother me a bit and I wore them for 5 hours straight... standing on my feet the entire time. I have a very narrow foot, but with the strap they fit well. I will be trying other styles as well. I would highly recommend these to everyone.

Great work shoe!
These shoes were one of the only shoes I can wear for work (retail) and not have my feet throb in pain when come home. I bought a brown pair as well and have received many compliments on them. My doctor even commented on how much she liked them. I recommend them highly.

My Favorites!
I have two pairs of these Solar Vegan shoes and love the way they feel, look, and last. I'm kind of hard on shoes, but these are great. I've worn them for a lot of walking and the sole hasn't shown any wear.

Great Shoes!
I love these shoes so much; I got them in black and brown! It's always hard for me to find good vegan shoes that are comfortable and stylish. These are great for work, or just for walking around. These definitely fit true to size - I own a pair of vegan earth boots in the same size, but those felt about half a size bigger than these. I have worn these both with and without socks.

My first pair of Earth shoes...very pleased. No break in time (in my experience, at least), and the only reason I gave it 4 stars for comfort is because they DO get a bit sweaty throughout the day. Otherwise I absolutely love this shoe. I plan on buying more Earth shoes, and of course purchasing them through Zappos.com.

Gave a pair to my girlfriend for x-mas. She loves them says they help to relive lower back pain due to the reverse incline on the sole.

Diminished back and foot pain!
I am a waitress and a nurse aid. I have not experienced any of my usual back and foot pain since wearing these shoes. True to fit and well worth the price! I find myself wearing them a lot even when I'm not at work.

It's LOVE!
I love these shoes. I thought about getting them for about a year before making the plunge. But the investment paid off, these shoes are absolutely perfect. I thought the negative heel thing might bother me but it doesn't feel different than a regular shoe. The "bed" of the shoe is plenty roomy and comfy. I could walk all day in these and be fine.

Brilliant!
Very comfortable shoes, well made, nice style. It seems to run a bit small. If you don't want a snug shoe consider a half size larger especially if you intend to wear socks/stockings. Also, the strap rides high, just at the crease between your foot and your leg. Otherwise, it's all good. Enjoy!

Smaller than Expected -
I own two other pairs of Earth shoes, both are size 8 1/2, so I ordered this in a size 8 1/2 too. However, for some strange reason they were really small, especially the left foot. Luckily exchanging them for a size 9 was really easy and they are wonderful shoes. I highly recommend them!

I love these shoes!
I've been researching negative heels and decided to take the plunge. I just got these and absolutely love them! I'm a size 8, and a lot of times need a wide width. These fit perfectly, are extremely comfortable and look great! No problem at all walking in them. Little by little I'm getting rid of my other shoes and replacing them with Earth shoes. Try it - you won't be sorry!

Breaking in period -
I loved my Earth Vegan Karmas - right up to the point where a flat tire broke a strap (still planning to get them fixed). So I thought the e.v. Solar would be a good addition for the winter, and I think I am right, but it is a good thing I bought them early. These are the kind of shoes that you know will be comfortable once you get past the break in period. Great arch support, love the low heel, but wow what big blisters I have on the heels! The shoes and I are getting along well enough for now with socks on (yeh it looks funny but is practical). They tend to be quite wide, but it gives your yoga toes room to stretch. I found the sizing true. It may take someone who is not used to wearing earth shoes a little time to get used to the different stance they give you, but for lots of walking (New York style) and standing (New York subway style) these can't be beat.

These are great shoes -
I really like the look of these shoes and find them to be very comfortable. I tried walking in the woods with them and felt like I was slipping on inclines but suspected this would happen.
I am concerned that the Velcro strap enclosure may wear easily but this is only based on experience with one other Velcro shoe enclosure.
I looked at other vegan shoes of similar style and thought for extra $ I would have the benefit of Kalso's design for improved alignment.
The width and size are just right.

This shoe is very comfy, and very cute. I did have an issue standing in it for a long period of time, however. Earth makes it seem like standing for a long time in their shoes should be easy... but when all your weight is on your heels, it's hard to be comfy. Running in them is very hard -- in the rain up to a building, etc. They are very cute and fine for walking less than a couple miles around town and my toes have tons of room. Overall I am happy with them, but if you have heel pains at all, get Dansko instead.

Really comfy, casual shoe -
I love these shoes. They are extremely comfortable and I can keep them on all day with no discomfort. I walk 1.5 miles to and from work most days, and these shoes make it unnecessary for me to bring sneakers for my trek. Earth shoes use a novel design where your heel actually sits lower than the rest of your foot - it feels a little funny at first, but once you get used to it, it's wonderful.
They aren't as snazzy as I'd like for them to be - they're rather casual and pretty plain, but wow, do they feel like heaven! I only wish they made a dressier style so I could wear them more often.
