I wanted a pair of Earth walking shoes for the negative heel technology hoping that it would decrease my back pain. I tried every Earth walking shoe in my size that was available through Zappos and rejected all of them except two. The most comfortable pair for me was the Pacific style, but it looked bulky and I didn\'t feel the negative heel, so I bought the Kinetic - Vegan. I have been wearing them for about three weeks on my daily three mile walk and I like them. I definitely stand up straighter when I\'m wearing them and my back pain is significantly reduced. My only dissatisfaction with them is that the shoes feels bulky when I\'m wearing them because soles are very inflexible and hard (in contrast to the sole of Pacific which felt soft and padded). Strangely enough, that hardness does not make the shoes uncomfortable, but the inflexibility does mean that I don\'t wear the shoes except on my morning walks. I have fallen a couple of times in the past few years and want to wear shoes during the day that are softer and more flexible.

I love these sneakers! They are light and very comfortable from the first time I put them on. I have a bad back and Earth shoes really help with the pain. The sizing was true and I always receive my shipments quickly.

These shoes were comfy right out of the box! Yes, they do look a little bit like "martian shoes" (as a friend tells me), but I wear them at work and walking to and from work, so I don't mind. On flat surfaces, they're easy to wear, but going up hills you can definitely feel them working your legs. A note on Zappos and their customer service: The first pair I bought developed an annoying squeak in one of the shoes after a few days. I contacted Zappos and another brand new pair was shipped out a few hours later. Best customer service ever!

I do not like these shoes at all. The Achilles Notch is very low, so constantly pulls down the back of my socks. Additionally, the shape is odd so it appears you are wearing barges on your feet; needless to say, very unattractive. These are being returned, and quickly. As usual, awesome customer service from Zappos, thank you!

Love these shoes! I ordered a 1/2 size larger and they are too roomy, but so comfortable I kept them. I would have reordered 1/2 size smaller, but the size was not in stock. Even being a little too roomy they are super comfortable and have excellent support!

Great shoes!
I must admit, these shoes felt strange the first couple times I wore them. I wore them around the house and couldn't stand them for more than an hour at a time. By the 3rd time I tried them, however, I didn't want to take them off. I'm glad I waited to get used to the shoes before I decided to return them because they are comfortable and they do help my posture. Great shoes and, as always, outstanding service from Zappos!

I used to wear earth shoes back in the seventies, and never tknew they were available again until I found them on your site. These shoes actually help to correct posture and give your legs a workout like the new trendy flip flpos, but the bonus with these earth shoes is that they do not creat extra pain if you have flat feet, unlike the new trendy ones. These are about the most comfortable shoe I have found to wear, and would love to see them come back in the same style in suede as they were in the past. You will not be disappointed in these shoes! Do note, they are not like typical sneakers, but once you are used to them, you will not want to take them off.

I accidently found Earth shoes when I found some cute sandals at the shoe store. The salesman explained the benefits of earth shoes and since I\'m a RN that works 12 or more hours a day,good shoes are my best friend. I didn\'t even need to break them in, they felt great the whole 12 hours and I\'ll probably wear these shoes from now on. I\'m a convert!

Comfortable. Go up 1/2 size. Takes a little time to get used to the lower heel, but it is comfortable. Zappos is amazing. Delivery is very fast, usually within 24 hours. You definitely get 5+ stars. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

This is my first pair of Earth shoes and I bought them because I have heel spurs. I was amazed how comfortable they are and when I wear them I have no heel pain at all. I love the style of this shoe and they are true to size. This is the shoe I grab when I know I will be on my feet all day. Love everything about this shoe, would get another pair in a different color. Love the fact when you order from Zappos you get your order very fast.

Fabulous shoes. Ordered one size up, at my mother's suggestion. She loves these shoes, too. As the toe box was a little small on top. Now I've got a perfect fit and I'm wearing them every day in total comfort. My hip had been hurting me a bit and has been much relieved since buying these shoes, as they change one's gait somewhat, for the better. Spring in my step and good looking sneakers. Love them!

I was going to order these shoes from another website, but after reading one of their reviews, I went to Zappos as suggested. Customer service is phenomenal. Besides that, I love these shoes. They feel like gloves on my feet. I have narrow feet with high arches. I called customer service to see which earth vegan shoe would be best for me and she suggested the Kinetics. She was absolutely right! I love these shoes and I will use Zappos in the future.

The first time I ran in them I felt my legs working harder. I'm a runner and I was sore the next day. The incline in the shoe really makes a difference. It's a great choice for anyone seeking the next level in running.

Shoe felt true to size and width. The toebox was a little narrow compared with other Earth styles, but is still comfortable. An excellent walking shoe that gives your legs a workout without killing your feet!

Great Vegan Sneakers -
These sneakers are great! They are very comfortable and they also look good. They felt like they were already broken in the first time I wore them. You can feel your legs working in a different way because of the negative heel. I think these shoes work better for walking than running. When running, you tend to be tipped up onto your toes more than in a regular running shoe.

Feels different, but good -
These feel a bit strange when you first put them on and I thought I would have to get used to them before working out in them. But they felt pretty good so I ran 2.5 miles on my treadmill the first time I wore them with no issues at all. I like them and especially appreciate that they are vegan in construction.

 |  | Dear Zappos.com Staff,
I just wanted to send a quick thank you to all of you for being such a wonderful company. I have ordered from you several times in the past and have always enjoyed your wide selection, fast shipping, and easy return policy. However, while these are great attributes of a company, they don't usually inspire me to write feedback emails raving about the company. About a week ago, I wanted to order a pair of shoes I'd had my eye on for quite some time. I shopped around but, as usual, Zappos.com had the best price (and free shipping!). However, when I tried to order, neither you nor any other website I visited had the shoes in my size. I called your customer service number to find out if they had been discontinued. In my experience, these sort of help lines rarely produce any sort of useful information, so I don't usually expect a whole lot from them. I called at around 5:30am Eastern Time, and was thrilled someone actually answered the phone that early in the morning! That would have been enough to make me a happy customer, however in true Zappos.com form, my experience exceeded expectations. Not only was the representative friendly and helpful, he took time to check your inventory and find out if the shoes had been discontinued. Then, he checked out other websites to find out if they had the shoes in my size! After several minutes of searching, he was able to find one website with one remaining pair in my size. However, at that point I was so impressed with Zappos.com that there was no chance of me ordering those shoes from any other website! So thank you to Zappos.com and that customer service representative, whoever he is, for such stellar customer service! Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Amanda L. |  | ~ Amanda L., November 17 2009
