Great - I owned a pair of Earth shoes in the 70s, so when I found out that they are still being made; I just had to get them. Thanks to Zappos and the great service, I ordered a pair of these and a pair of earth energetic. As soon as I put this pair on I knew they would stay with me. They seem to fit my foot just a little better. They're very cushy and wonderfully padded. I have had them on all day and my feet feel great! I usually wear a size 9 shoe. This pair is a 9 and like I said, fit beautifully. I also have a pair of Earth Tranquil shoes and that pair is a size 8.5. Go figure?! I love these and highly recommend them.

Better than MBT shoes - I ordered the new Earth (negative heel) sneakers a few weeks ago and love them! I already notice that my legs, especially around my knees, are getting much more toned. Yesterday I wore them for a 4-mile walk and they really made me work harder on what would have been an easy trail. Since they have a negative heel, they correct your posture and make you stand up straight. Just to stand in them you need to engage many more leg muscles than with traditional shoes. I debated getting either these or the MBT shoes and ultimately went with the Earth Rocket shoes because they are shock absorbent, $99 instead of many hundreds, and because I can wear them even if it's raining (the MBT shoes can't get wet).

Great upgrade to original athletic shoe - I owned the previous generation of Earth athletic shoe, and it was great, but this new version is even better! It has a wider toe box, and seems to offer even more support (I am flat-footed). I wear a size 7, and ordered a 7 1/2 to accommodate socks, and the shoes fit perfectly. Enjoy!

Finally a little more stylish Earth tennis shoe! I know the main reason to buy these wonderful Earth shoes is because they're so comfortable and awesome for your body... but it's nice to feel cute while working out :) and I really like the Rockets because their more "modern" styling fits my style! I'm not a big fan of all white shoes (I've had the Energetics for a year - they're great and are worn out from wearing them all of the time!) and mostly like these shoes because they're dark gray. The comfort seems on par to the Energetics, and overall I'm very happy with my newest Earth purchase (they seem just as comfortable as every other pair I own - just a different style!)! Don't forget - they are "vegan" - so they're not leather - more like pleather :) ... but they're nice and so far have worn well. Thank you Zappos for carrying such great shoes and making it so easy to buy them from you!

Earth Rocket - I found the heel depth to be greater on this shoe than other Earth shoes I've purchased. Because of this added depth, I found the adjustment time to be longer and have put a strain on my knees. I expect this to pass as the "old" muscles adjust. Overall I am very pleased with the shoe; the non-naturalist side of me would have preferred leather over man-made material. It's a great looking shoe and has been a pleasure to wear.

Mezlan Opera Shoe - I ordered size 12 extra wide and that's exactly the size I got. I am completely satisfied with the shoes. I put a letter size piece of rough sandpaper on the floor and "roughed up" the leather soles to make them less slick. It worked!

Nice shoe, great service - Very nice shoe, will wear for my wedding. Wide size available, not many available for patent leather shoes. As always, great service from Zappos.

The Grammys - There were three days left before I was to venture west to Los Angeles to attend the Grammy Awards as a guest and I had no shoes. I'm a last-minute-kind-of-guy. Zappos in concert with..., "ask what brown can do for you?" were all over it and had my Mezlan Operas at my door the very next day and at a great price. Into the luggage they went and we did not see each other again until I suited up for the events. On they went and off we went to the first event to commence at twelve noon. Hours went by. Red carpets, pre-televised awards, televised awards, Grammy celebration, more red carpets, lots and lots of walking, Beverly Hills after party w/ dancing, after after party with more carrying on and finally back to the hotel at six o'clock the next morning without any aches, blisters, hot spots or otherwise, only good feeling feet with over inflated egos from receiving so many compliments. Now one might think it poor planning to break in a fresh pair of shoes with an itinerary like that but I am here bare testimony to the fact that it can be done, but for me, it's got to be Mezlan..., or you may suffer grave E. Marcos like consequences. If I had one wish, it would have been that my head could feel as good as my feet did later that morning when I was reminded by my rather efficient brother that check out time was near. Never forget that Zappos is there when you need them the most. There is no better feeling, except of course if Zappos had kind enough to send along some advil to counter the effects associated with a few too many martinis. I am sure they would have if it were not for all of the rules and regulations in our litigious society. By the way, enjoy your day.

Mezlan - Mezlan shoes are consistently top notch and these are no exception. Fit and comfort are A-1. Look is classic patent leather. Ordered it last night. Breaking them in this afternoon. Can't beat that. Another Zappos success story.

Very nice+comfortable formal shoes - These Mezlans are very nice formal oxfords. Despite being patent leather, they are comfortable right out of the box. I have given them 4 stars on comfort because they are not sneakers, but doubt a formal shoe could be more comfortable.
