Keen Zoe - This is my first pair of Keens. They are definitely very cute. I think this particular style might be a bit less supportive than the other Keen styles. I found that there wasn't too much arch support. Nonetheless, they are very lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear all day. And the sizing was perfect.

Keen becomes fashionable - I bought a pair of Keen Providence when they first came out and LOVED them. Thought I found the perfect shoes. Now, many new styles, too many really, and the main reason I loved Keens is gone. These shoes have no support, are "flimsy" missing the nice treads and bumper toes. Also, the sizes of Keens are all over the place with no consistency between styles.

What fun and comfort!! Never, in my life, have I been able to tolerate "tennis shoe" types of shoes; not until I discovered the Keen Taos. The comfort and traction, every step of the way, on a recent month long trek on the cobbles and hills of my favorite Mexican city truly convinced me that I should try other Keen styles. So, my narrow feet and I chose the ZOE. It doesn't lace quite as tightly near the toe as the Taos so I added another insole. Wah-lah! Perfect!! And, in the foot-cradle of the Keens, I don't feel as if I am wearing the cardboard box in which the shoes arrived, The ZOE is so neat with the tan printed suede and the red smooth leather. Probably Keen is the most WITH-IT brand on the sport shoe market. AND, the comfort is unbelievable. I am addicted to them! P. S. I always buy a half size larger (for the length) than what I usually wear.

Keen's Zoe - I love all Keens and don't wear anything else; they have the best support of any shoe I have ever owned. I have read others say to buy a half size larger, I have done that but think the insole fits better at the regular size.

These are adorable, but unfortunately, at the back of the heel they rubbed and were very uncomfortable, even with thick socks. It may have been a problem with the material in that area, and other people won't have the same problem. I do own another pair of Keen's (different style) and do NOT have any problem with that pair. So I had to return these- too bad, because they are so cute!

Better than I expected! What a SUPER cute shoe! I own several styles of Keen's, they're comfy and versatile, but they stepped it up with the Zoe. The leather is so buttery soft, and it's like wearing a dressed up version of a converse. I get compliments all the time on them. I would definitely buy different versions of these to wear with everything. Great shoe, and comfortable right out of the box...you can even fit an arch support if needed (there is a little lacking there, but that can be resolved) Great!

Unique!!! These shoes are very interesting and unique looking. Plus they are so very comfortable. They are a clean look with the comfort of a sneaker, but not the athletic look. If you are even thinking about these shoes buy them, I bet you will love them. Of course if not with Zappos you can return free of charge so why not try them.

Too wide! These are extremely comfortable, but the shoes only come in "medium" width which is VERY wide -not my idea of medium at all.

Got ta love these shoes. I got these shoes about a year ago to wear to work. I am a nurse and am on my feet all day/night long. After a period of adjustment to the shoes (follow Earth's recommendation that you begin by wearing them for brief periods, not 12 hours like I did), I found them to be my most favorite pair of shoes EVER. Not only do they look really really cool (I get compliments on them all the time), they are incredibly comfortable and keep my back in alignment. Now that I work in a medical ICU (I was on a psych unit before), I have one pair for work and one for outside work.

Earth Solar Shoe--black and red - I choose this shoe because I had been having alot of trouble with my feet. I have fallen arches. I am soon traveling to New York City and knew I would be walking alot! I got the black pair quickly and followed the suggested break-in (a bit at a time) and I was SO happy with how my feet felt and with how they looked! They are NOT bulky looking like my Birkenstocks. They are much more stylish. The reviews I read said they were great for a wider foot, which I have, so for my wider foot they ARE PERFECT! They are SO perfect that I soon ordered the red pair and will most certainly order the tan pair soon. I LOVE these shoes, but more importantly, my feet LOVE these shoes! This company gives outstanding service, which is also very important to me!

Great! Yes, these shoes are wider.Ii have a narrow foot, but this just leaves room for socks as far as I'm concerned. They are so comfortable and look really cute on. The red is not a clownish red, it is funky and fun.

Good shoes and good service - Back when I was in college in the 70's I had a pair of earth shoes and just loved them. It is nice to have a new pair, they are very comfortable and help my posture along with my foot. I was also most impressed by Zappos quick delivery. I ordered the shoes the night before and it came promptly the next day. Thank you.

Earth Solar Shoes Review - I ordered the Earth Solar shoes for my daughter. She is a server in two restaurants and a college student interning at a nearby elementary school. She's constantly on her feet. She absolutely loves the shoe. She says they're so comfortable and look great. The way the soles are made, makes her stand up straight and improves her posture. She just absolutely loves them. We both give them 5 stars. I'd recommend them for anyone who is on their feet a lot. Also, when they were delivered we received free shipping/handling and they were delivered earlier than expected. I would definitely order from Zappos again. Thanks, G&A

Cute and comfortable, what more can you ask for? I love these shoes, I have worn them almost everyday since I got them. They do take some getting used to however since the lower heal streches out your calves. Once you have broken them in, you won't be able to live without them.

A Great Little Earth Shoe - I have ordered many pairs of shoes from Zappos, but this little red shoe is one of the best. It has an excellent "solar", high tech look, the leather is of the highest quality, and the comfort would be hard to beat. I have diabetes and am on my feet a great deal, working in an art gallery and traveling. Comfort and flexibility are very important and these shoes are working perfectly for me.

Very satisfied! When I was in high school I wore a pair of Oxfords that were, as my dad said, "Uglier than sin". Despite their homely appearance they were the most comfortable footware I owned. About 3 years ago, I stumbled upon a store which sold Earth Shoes. Since I was in the market for some sandals I tried them on. The memory of correct posture and comfort was wonderful. My sandals and I have been walked many miles in all weather. However, I knew there would come a season I would have to retire them. So, I was on a quest for another pair. The store was out of my size in the style I wanted. This is a common problem since I wear an 11 wide. A bit dissappointed, I decided to shop the internet. Delighted to find this website with a style and size I could use, I ordered my new shoes. I am a myotherapist with a busy practice, a busy mom. The negative heel technology is perfect for me since I am bending over people all day. My hips, knees and lower back rarely are sore after a long day. Thank you for your speedy service and for carrying my old friend- Earth Shoes! (I have recommended this site to some of my patients.)
