I absolutely adore these shoes! They came the day after I ordered them and fit great right out of the box. I can't stop showing them off to everyone! I usually having trouble finding shoes that don't rub my heels, but I have no complaints with these. Fantastic.

I love these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis, so it is very difficult for me to find shoes that fit and don\'t hurt my feet. Earth shoes are the best I\'ve tried. \r\nThe only negative with these is the strap isn\'t long enough for me. I have thick ankles, and the straps fasten, but for me they should have been about an inch longer. You can\'t see it unless you look at them really closely, so no one knows but me.\r\n

I bartended and waited tables in the red (earlier) version of this shoe for over a year. Cute shoes, good for the feet, too. The black ones were a little stiffer and I had to go through the normal few blisters. But now they feel great. I'm waiting tables again. Cool to find a pair of shoes that are cute and comfortable, if even good for my feet! They run a little big which is great for me as I would wear the non-existent size 10.5. I took the ten and they fit great.

I just got these shoes and they are so cute. Very disappointed because the reviews said to order a size smaller and for me that was just not true. I am reordering in my real size and I guess we sill see.

I don\'t like ordering shoes without trying them on first but because of Zappos free shipping offer I thought I\'d give it a try. I was very happy with the shoes that I ordered, they fit perfectly and they are very comfortable.

I have warn these for about a year and a half now and I want to love them, but unfortunately the leather was very quick to stain (from water), scuff, and chip off! I probably have lower standards than most people, so I have put up with it for awhile, but finally my husband said the other day, "those look really terrible." For such an expensive, "high quality" shoe, I don\\\'t understand why they are so quick to wear down.

Earth Solar is really a great shoe. Fits true to size and very comfortable. I have Morton's neuroma and thought an Earth shoe would help this problem. It did. I can not wear shoes with out being in extreme pain until I got this pair of shoes. I am now searching for a good pair of workout shoes and have tried some of the Earth walking shoes, but they just don't seem to fit the same as the Solar.

These shoes are comfortable but after wearing them a couple of days. The negative heel takes some getting used to. I like the strap as it is back towards the ankle. I have a tattoo on the top of my foot and did not want any straps or part of the shoe shoe to rub on it as it heals. With Zappos free shipping and returns I thought, what did I have to lose. I bought these in Black and brown and I will purchase Earth brand shoes again.

These guys rock! I placed my order on Sunday evening. I immediately received an email confirmation stating they received the order and were updating the shipping to 2 day. I received my shoes in 2 days. The shoes fit great and were a lot cheaper in price than other places. Excellent service. I will only buy my shoes from this company from now on.

I felt comfortable ordering on line because of your return policy: it meant you were confident about the poduct\'s quality. I was not dissapointed-the earth shoes are very comfortable. I am on my feet all day at work and was intrigued by the concept of "burning more calories with every step" that the negative heel technology promises. I wore them to work with no problems, though I could tell I\'m using my leg muscles differently. I have a low back problem and I feel this shoe is definitely helping it!

The shoes are great. I had foot surgery in March and was looking for a comfortable shoe that could be worn with a suit or skirt. The shoe has style and the negative heel made walking no problem for my healing foot. An added plus is better posture.

I work in an office with concrete floors, and these shoes are a pleasure to wear. They are by far the most comfortable work-appropriate shoes I\'ve owned in a long time. The arch support is great, but they are wide on my slightly narrow feet. They look a bit clunky and masculine, but you get lots of comfort to make up for that.

I have these shoes in two colors, black and white. They go with anything casual and are exceptional for work. There is a learning curve with Earth shoes, because of the Kalso negative heel plane, but it is well worth it.

These shoes are very comfortable. I work on my feet all day and they have seriously helped my legs not ache everyday after work. The strap did take about a week to get use to but now I don\'t even notice it.

This is the second pair of this shoe I have bought. I wanted another pair in Black, but this was the only color left in my size, 12. I bought them anyway. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The backward tilt makes my back feel at ease and my calf muscles can act as they are supposed to. The velcro adjustable strap is comfortable and necessary to keep the shoe on. I have ordered and returned three other Earth styles. They were slip ons and I walked out of the back of them. I sincerely hope that this style, or one very similar, continues to be available from Earth.

Zappos was sold out of this shoe in my size, so I ended up trying them on at Alamo Shoes in Chicago. I loved them, but hated the strap, so I thought that I would buy them anyway and cut the strap off. I first wore them to my waitressing job, and they were very slippery on the kitchen floor. Then, I wore them to my other job as a flight attendant, and they were AWESOME! My feet did not hurt, even after 13 hours of duty. Passengers commented on my 'cute but unusual' shoes. I am on my feet constantly, so I am all about comfort when it comes to my feet, but these shoes actually are kind of cute. I normally wear a 9.5, but was a 9 in these, and think they are made for people with wide feet. Mine are narrow, but I like the roominess, and great arch support.

Overall, I like these. Great for high arches. However, I ordered the wide, which are usually roomy enough for my wide feet, but these seem to run narrow in the forefoot. So if you have narrow heels and wide forefoot, these shoes do not work as well.

Earth Solar are so great! I have two pair, in black and in red. I have learned that Earth shoes run a bit smaller to order one half size bigger. The footbed is amazing and comfortable. I certainly do recommend this shoe. I can walk all day in them!!! Enjoy

Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked

Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support

I have worn Earth shoes exclusively for about 9 years. When I find a good fit, they are very comfortable but mostly they are very inconsistent with sizing. I was very disappointed with the Solar Earth shoe because the leather chipped off during normal use! I also have a friend that bought them (cheaper looking sole though) at a retail chain store for much much less and I paid about $100. This style has a narrow heel and wide toe area so they are comfortable on my foot. What's going on here? I think these are my last pair of Earth shoes! I expect shoes at this price to hold up better than these have.

Terrific shoes for comfort and posture - These were my first Earth shoes and I've since bought 3 more pairs in different styles. These shoes were comfortable from day 1 and have been great for walking long distances. Not the best looking shoe, but somewhat cute. Only drawback with the negative heel is that these shoes are very flat and I've found that most of my pants drag on the ground in back if not cuffed.

Earth Solar comfort - Overall, comfortable; adjust to negative heel easily. Would like to have been able to try a 1/2 size smaller, but love the shoes. Wear them often. Can’t comment on the increase in energy usage or fitness of back and lower and upper legs, and gluteal muscles, but early results feel positive. Best arch support I have had in a shoe. Looking forward to trying sport shoes, and professional style.

Happy With Earth Shoes - I am on my feet all day working in a doctor's office. This shoe was tight and uncomfortable at first as I generally wear a wide shoe but this one does not come in wide. I ordered it anyway as I felt it would work do to the shape of the shoe. I just finished my second week of wearing the shoes and they are now fitting great and wear them all day in comfort.
