Ouch - Usually do not have trouble fitting shoes. But these hurt my foot around the arch; only feels good on a carpet. Maybe the will be good to you but these shoes are walking torture on the flats...but at least I look good.

Perfect shoe - I’m loving my two pairs of this shoe, black and brown, looks great with skirts and pants - not to mention how terrific they feel! I spent about $1,000 on chiropractor adjustments and I wanted to augment the good changes to my health. Earth shoes are just what I needed. They are the only shoes I will ever buy from now on. Zappos customer service reps are the best too!

Comfort!!! Stylish!!! Sweet!!! This is my second pair of these shoes, I love them! I have been stopped on the street in NYC...what kind of shoes are they...oh they still make earth shoes??? I absolutely love them. I am partial to wearing white ankle socks, and these shoes look adorable with them. I am also prone to what I call 5 o'clock feet, like my dogs are barking when it's time to go home. The comfort level of these shoes last all day!

Earth Shoes Revisited - Shades of the '70's! I couldn't believe that Earth shoes were still around. I had to get a pair and found the best deal on your web site. Your delivery was quick and free shipping greatly appreciated. Many companies ignore Hawaii customers when it comes to shipping--they overcharge for the service or come up with lame excuses why they can't send it here. Thank you!

Comfy, comfy, comfy! I bought these shoes for a trip to France this summer. I wanted something that was casual but nice, and could handle me walking around for hours on end. I have a pair of boots from Earth, so I was already familiar with the footbed and incredible support. The recessed heel gives a lot of arch support for me (I have foot issues due to a previously broken ankle). These shoes were perfect for the job. There were a lot of freak rain storms this trip, and my feet did not get wet from the bottom (but my jeans wicked up moisture to the top of my feet). My only recommendation: spray with water repellent/ Scotch Guard. My shoes now have this funky tie-died effect from the water stains. They felt true to size for me (39 EU), maybe a little large – I could get my fingers into the back of the shoe, but I prefer my shoes not to be too tight, considering they tend to swell a bit after walking all day. If you are looking for a cute, very comfortable pair of shoes to walk around Europe, I would buy these. They look great with jeans, shorts, and dresses and are very comfortable!

Great shoes for work - I ordered these in the white for work in a dental office. I prefer shoes with a more substance than the plastic wear that seems to be the newest favorite in the uniform shops. These shoes are comfy and cute. The leather is nice quality.

Comfortable shoes - They are very pretty and comfortable. My problem with my feet is that they are wide and after recently having a baby, my feet are now even wider. So the fit was a little tight and there was not enough strap for me to keep. But I do love Earth shoes for not stressing any further back pain.

My Favorite Shoes!! At the recommendation of one of my colleagues, (I'm a teacher) I decided to try a pair of earth shoes. I've had issues with my feet (I have high arches that like to collapse) and legs since junior high. I have to wear custom orthotics in my sneakers, so I was thrilled that these shoes comfortably support my finicky feet throughout a full day of teaching! They do take a couple days to get used to, but TRUST ME, it's worth it! I used to wear sneakers all the time, but these are so more comfortable than my sneakers!

My favorite shoe! This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The only reason I gave a 4 for comfort is because if I am standing in one spot for a long time, my feet get a little achy. I have a job where I'm on my feet all day (heck, I've walked 6 miles in these shoes) with no aches or fatigue. Will be getting another pair very soon!

Good shoe; good travels - I bought this shoe to wear on my trip to France this summer. I waned something I could walk all day in, and that looked good with a skirt or jeans. These shoes are so comfortable. No break in time, no blisters. I can't wait to tramp around Paris in them!

I had forgotten that Earth shoes are shaped so that your heels are lower than your toes. I just can't get used to walking this way. I would have to wear them exclusively to get used to it. The strap was way too long; looked gangly hanging off the side. I ordered white, which isn't a true white; it did not go with my white pants. So I had to return them.

Cute shoe, great for your back and feet - Love this adorable shoe! It does take some getting used to, I would recommend a long break in period before being on your feet all day at work. My only complaint, I wish they had designed the mary jane strap a little wider. If fastened too tight, it can be a bit cutting. Otherwise very nice shoe in lovely soft leather.

Earth = Good! I bought two pairs of Earth shoes. The Solar and the Pirouette. Both felt the same. They really do change the way you stand. I felt soreness in my calves the first day I wore them around the house. In the end I chose to keep the Pirouettes because they are a little fancier.

Earth Solar - I've never owned any Earth shoes before, but these are interesting shoes. They are very comfortable and go great with casual wear. However, it takes time getting used to walking in them, they seem a bit heavy and chunky, but I've never had any problems with them rubbing on my feet. I haven't had them a long time, but there are already visual scuff marks. Don't know if this is to be expected of all shoes, but considering the price, I expected more resistance to scuffing. Overall, though, good shoe!

Worth It! Have been searching for a comfortable shoe that looked more professional than a tennis shoe for a while now. I am a nurse. The Solar is adorable and very comfortable. Have had many compliments. I ordered the shoe on a Tues morning and they were at my front door on Weds afternoon. Incredible. Will order again and have already recommended Zappos to others.

Ummm... After years of cute flats, my feet are starting to wear out and hurt if I walk more than a couple of miles. So I kind of gave in and tried these, after hearing good things from friends. I have to say, comfort-wise, they are lovely. Good arch support. Nice foot bed. But style-wise, they're a bit too granola-crunchy for me. I tried some other styles of Earth shoes that were cuter, but they didn't have the same amount of arch support. It’s a toss up. If you like this kind of style, then go for it. They are really comfy. I’ve spent some time traveling in them and it helped me walk day after day in the city with less foot pain.

Solar sweet - I was very pleased with the immediate feel of these shoes. I am wearing them as a nursing shoe and have a lot of difficulty finding anything really comfortable. The only problem for me is the deepness of the heel or the height of the back of the shoe. This has caused some rubbing on my heel causing redness. I am hoping this will soften in time.

Awesome shoe - great quality - I've decided to convert all my shoes to the negative heel Earth shoe. One pair at a time! They are comfortable, help me walk comfortably again (bad hip), and can be worn with just about anything. I just went shopping with my daughter, a new elementary school teacher, and after much trying on of various brands; she decided the Earth shoe was the best. Instead of buying at the store (which didn't have the bigger size), I ordered them for her on Zappos. Three days later she was wearing them at school. Buy a pair - they will change the way you feel about walking a mile.
