Reviewer: Anonymous from Kentucky
Overall:5 stars   Comfort:5 stars   Look:5 stars
Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked
Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support

Excellent all-purpose summer sandal! It looks good! It feels good! It dresses up and down! I *love* this sandal - purchased it in both blue and brown. But when it arrives, check the size very, very carefully - for me, anyway, it runs extremely large. Even a full size smaller than my normal shoe, it's still a bit wide/loose, though this is a plus on a hot day when my feet swell. By the way, for appearances' sake I used a seam ripper to remove the conspicuous "Earth" label from the top strap. Worked fine; no harm to appearance, but it has to be done very carefully.

A soft Earth shoe! I like wearing Earth shoes but find many of them to have stiff uppers, not enough padding and the liners tough on the bottoms of my feet. These sandals rectify all that with an especially the nice soft foot bed and straps with some give (though they should probably hug your feet a little better...they're quite roomy on my slightly wide foot). The padding could be a little better - especially the heel area, but I put a heel "petal" in them which made a big difference. I wear them most every day for general around the house/errands. Don't know that you could spend a few hours walking non-stop in these, but I feel they're a big help with my posture using them as I do. I found these 10M true to length and generously wide (my normal size is 10W). People with narrow feet might swim in these.

Blue Dye - The blue dye on the strap comes off/transfers to my feet, so by the end of the day I look like "tattoo woman." Be forewarned...

Fabulous Shoes - What a great shoe. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than other shoes so mine fit perfectly. You can wear these all day with no break in period. The support is very good, they are light weight and stylish. I got the shoe in blue but I'm getting ready to order it in the brown as well. It will be my 5th pair of Earth shoes. I'm really hooked. If you have never worn an Earth shoe they are a must have shoe.

Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support

Narrower than other Earth sandals - I had high hopes for these, but they are narrower in the heel bed and back of shoe than other Earth shoes I have tried. I have wider feet and my foot hit the side lip of the shoe and hung over it, which was very uncomfortable. They are very cute and more feminine than many Earth shoes, however, and very comfortable in the toe bed and top of shoe. I am disappointed to have to send them back.

Awesome! Awesome shoe - fits and is comfortable right out of the box - it's like being barefoot! And awesome service - I ordered both the almond and the blue yesterday evening and they arrived this morning. Due to age, knees, weight and flat feet, regular shoes (even with hard orthotics) and sandals just don't work anymore and increase the pain. I can wear just about every Earth shoe with ease and walk and stand as if I was 20 years younger. Size 10 in the sandal, 11 in boots and athletic shoes. Earth and Zappos rock!
