Since the 1970\'s I\'ve always wanted a pair of Earth shoes. Finally got them and I really like them. Very comfortable and good for air travel, too.

These are good shoes for flexible feet and work well with inserts. I really like the soles, which are designed in segments that have excellent flexibility. Lots of positive comments by co-workers.

I've really been wanting to try Earth shoes, but was so turned off by the looks. I've been coming home so many days with tired feet I decided to give in. These are actually pretty cute and I've gotten several compliments on them. The best part is, my feet don't hurt anymore! I'm still trying to get used to the shoes in that they do give me blisters on the backs of my heels from rubbing. This is getting better with continued wear. I love coming home and not having sore feet, so I'm going to buy more Earth shoes to replace some of my other shoe brands.

I love these shoes. In fact this is the 4th pair I\'ve purchased of the same shoe, mostly in different oolors. This last purchase was a second pair in a color I already have for when the first ones wear out. They fit me great and are extremely comfortable and lightweight.

These shoes work for me! The negative heel in Earth shoes reduces stress on my lower back. I can walk in these or hours without back pain. What I love about this pair is they don’t look like granny shoes – yes, I’m of that age, but my shoes don’t HAVE to look orthopedic! These look good to me! In the last few months I’ve purchased and returned a half dozen pairs of shoes that others reviewed as comfortable. For me it’s not just a matter of comfort to my feet - I need enough support for my back.

These shoes look cute in person, but they are really tight. I normally wear a size 9, but I couldn’t even walk across the room in these. I don’t have wide feet. I don’t think going up a size would help the tightness of the strap and the top of the shoe.

I love the shoes, except that the strap is way too tight for me. I ended up taking out the Earth shoe inner sole, and now it’s better, and I have been wearing them. They are so cute and the color is beautiful. I am hoping that the elastic loosens up. Now I can only wear them for a limited time because the strap digs into the top of my foot. I wish they made them with an adjustable strap.

I've been trying to break these in for 2 months. I wear them for a day, and then give my feet 4 days to recover from the bruises the straps make on the tops of my feet, and then I try again. I've also tried stretching the straps out by leaving large cans in my shoes overnight or hanging the shoes by the straps. Nothing helps, so I've started wearing the shoes with the strap UNDER my foot. I'm so disappointed. I really wanted to like these shoes, but they are so painful. If I wanted my feet to be in pain, I'd have bought pretty shoes!

These shoes did not feel good on my feet. The strap is tight & doesn't have much give. The material is scratchy & rubbed against my pinky toes. Not the same shape as most Earth shoes.

These look much better than I thought they would. They seem to be great to walk in, good cushion, and support, but I still need to break them in more, I think. Only on one shoe, it rubs the little toe, so I think they just need to stretch out a bit.

Not quite what I hoped for.
This is my first pair of Earth shoes. I love the idea of how Earth is supposed to help your body, and I could tell a difference in the way I stood and walked. HOWEVER, the strap across the top is WAY too tight and cuts off the circulation in my feet. I wore them around the house for a couple of days to make sure the design of Earth was going to work for me, but I guess I never wore them long enough to realize that they were cutting off the circulation until I really wore them out of the house. Really big bummer!!! I am going to try to stretch the strap, because otherwise, they are a waste of $. :( Makes me sad because I really wanted to love them!

These shoes are incredibly comfortable for me! I bought them and wore them all day without socks, no problem. The inside sole is a little rougher than usual but not uncomfortable. I wear a sz 7B and bought a sz 7B though one foot is more like a "c". They do fit snug. I probably won't wear them with socks. The strap is also snug but did not bother me. I don't have a very high arch so maybe if your arch is high the strap might bother you but it is stretchy.

Not what I expected!
I found that this shoe was much smaller than the actual size. I normally wear an 8-8.5 and I had to return them to get a 9. Also the width is very narrow and the strap on the shoe digs into your foot. I don’t have petite feet but I also don’t have big, thick feet either. I was not impressed with the shoe.

Addendum to earlier review -
I recently reviewed this shoe and stated in the review that it really tore up my heels when I took a walk in them, even with socks on. I wore the shoes again, walked a lot, again with socks, and my heels were fine this time! Go figure! The second time I wore a thinner sock made of synthetic fabric that perhaps did not catch the seaming of the heel of the shoe? Maybe they just finally "broke in"? Who knows? Anyhow, I love the shoe even more now that I can wear it painlessly, and recommend it to anyone who wants something cute, casual and vegan...

Cute, but painful -
I own a few pairs of Earth shoes and wanted to try one of their vegan ones… and so bought Inhale in black. It's really cute! The sole is also very comfortable - very soft to walk on and of course, the negative heel technology is awesome. I wore them a few times around the house before deciding to keep them and found them quite comfortable. HOWEVER (and hence the title of the review), I then wore them for a short walk outdoors with my dog - man, if you do anything more than mincing around the house in these shoes, they tear up your heels! And I had socks on, too! I am really hoping that as they break in, the way that the heel rubs will lessen because otherwise I really like this shoe.

Very disappointing -
I have bought 4 pairs of Earth shoes in total, 2 were perfect but 2 were awful, this is one for the awful category. They look cheap, they were at least 1 size too large & the elastic band is pure murder, really hurts my foot. I have a "long and narrow" foot so took a chance on them after reading the previous reviews, but am sorry I wasted my money... can't return as I bought in the states. Kind of puts me off Earth shoes and buying online altogether.

Wanted to love this shoe . . .
Everything others have said is true, but I tried them anyway -- the negative heel arch support is fantastic, so I wanted to like the shoes overall. In fact, I tried so hard to like them that I kept "trying them out" around the house until I accidentally got them dirty and had to keep them. But they do give terrible blisters on the heel; they definitely need to make a size 10 1/2; and the fabric is just not breathable and gives my feet a terrible odor. And the rose colored shoes have a white footbed, which quickly got dirty and gross.

Not for Summer -
I bought these for my slightly wide size 10 feet. Good news is that they're extremely comfortable - good cushioning, arch support and they look good, too. Not so good is that they're a snug (but not uncomfortable) fit which is not so great for summer when my feet swell more. Also found the "vegan" fabric doesn't breathe so well. Saving these for cooler months...

Cute but hurts!
Returned my regular size for a full size smaller. Elastic is too tight and my heel rubs to the point of getting blisters. Good looking but hard to find the right size.

Beware the Strap!!
I was so excited when these shoes arrived, they are adorable and the Kalso Negative Heel is *amazingly* comfortable!
The Bad News: If, like me, you have a high instep, the strap is definitely too tight. I thought I would be okay because my foot is narrow, but no luck. The strap really pinches and these will unfortunately be going back :(
Also, if you are between sizes, I recommend going a size down. These also felt a little big overall.

Cute but not comfortable for all day -
I agree with the others. I love Earth shoes but this one is a killer. I call it my 1 hour shoe. The strap cuts and my foot swells and then pushes against the back. I almost want to cut a 'v' in the strap for relief. I too wish had walk around the house for a few hours so I can return but I thought 'Earth shoes' they gotta be great right!? No. I typically wear them after a bit with the heels pushed in. Not what you would expect for the price.

Should have read the reviews -
Was too excited by how cute these were that I ordered them before reading the reviews. Currently 34 weeks pregnant and need comfortable summer work shoes, but also ones that will expand with the swelling of my feet. All the other shoes that I’ve tried have been very wide and so I expected the same. These were very narrow and the lack of give in the strap was very uncomfortable. I put one shoe on for just a minute and put it right back in the box to return them. Am receiving the arabesques today so hopefully they will be better!

Tight strap -
These shoes are hard on the heels and the strap is really tight across the top. Still not sure if I like them. Wearing them all day leaves a big indentation across the top of my foot.

Lightweight Shoes, VERY Tight Fitting Strap -
This is a really fun-looking, lightweight summer shoe. Unfortunately, the mary jane strap is far too tight-fitting as is the heel. I couldn't return them as I'd already worn them outside. Make sure you wear them indoors for a few hours before committing!

Comfort and cute!
I'm between two Earth sizes so went with the larger and it fits perfectly: I have lots of room in the toe box, but the heel doesn't slip. These are very light weight with excellent arch support, and the strap is very comfortable. The insole can be removed, but the support provides the right fit for my feet, so I don't need to use my orthotics.

 |  | Team Zappos, I ordered my shoes yesterday and was delighted to see that the shipping was upgraded free of charge. A very nice touch. However, I was astounded when I found the shoes at my front door this afternoon. How did you pull that off? No one is this fast… no one. Is there a flying caped Zappos team member drinking espresso shots all night moving shoes about the country?! WOW WOW WOW!!! TEAM ZAPPOS – YOU’VE JUST EARNED A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE. The only name in my book and blasted all over my face book and twitter is ZAPPOS because I ordered my shoes and ZAP, they were at my door. ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING OVER THE TOP, I’M DANCING AROUND IN MY NEW SHOES! Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing what you do. Bernie “Zappos for life."
