Comfy All- Terrain Flip Flop - If you spend allot of time in your sandals during the summer season I recommend Oakley's Lowball II. It's a little dressier, a little more functional than your average beach sandal. A little pricey for a flip flop but well worth it if you spend on planning the day in them. Antimicrobial footbed keeps your feet healthy and "sandal stank" free. The off road lug traction makes for sure footing down by the shore as well as down town.

Great flip flop - It seems everybody has Reef Fannings nowadays, so I thought I'd try something different. I've been very happy with them so far, and with Oakley's quality I expect that to be true for a while. Zappos customer service gets high marks as always!

Nice for the Athlete! Great shoe for après sports for my big-foot son. He wears a 16 in most athletic shoes but the 15's fit perfectly. We ordered several brands and this was the only one that worked. Zero complaints about breaking in with the toe-strap. We'll be back!

My husband loves these. Very comfortable. They seem 1/2 size smaller than stated. Had to return a pair and order next size up. Fits great now.

No more pain! I suffered with plantar fascitus for months. Earth shoes made the pain go away IMMEDIATELY. I've refitted my whole shoe wardrobe with various Earth models. I wear my black Orion's most often. This is absolutely the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn, and I have worn everything from top end runner/cross trainers to handmade cordovan wingtips. The only downside on the Orion is (1) toes seem to scuff a bit and (2) the style is OK for business casual but it is pretty casual. A distinctive looking shoe that not everyone will love. But I LOVE MINE!

New to Earth - It takes some getting use to and some breaking into; the heel scrapes a bit. But the posture adjustment is felt right away...back is straighter, right away; Otherwise, you will fall backwards :) . Very stylish, well-made shoes. Looks very good with jeans. Ditch those bowling style ones and get a pair of these! Cobbler stitch is rare these days. Highly recommended.

Chiropractic Praise - As a Chiropractor standing all day I found my feet would get sore with other shoes. I tried the earth Orion's out, and find I have more bounce in my step ALL DAY LONG, and my feet feel great. The leather insole is great, the arch support for both the medial and metatarsal arches is a pleasant change from the lack of support in all shoes. Combined with my foot levelers orthotics, I find that I'll choose these shoes over all my others every day! The posture support is fantastic as well. We can all use a change from high heeled shoes and their ill effects on the bodies' posture. I will be purchasing more without a doubt!!

Excellent Fit! I have never had a pair of shoes fit so comfortably. Ever. I normally have to wear orthodics, and with Earth shoes I don't have to. The anatomical foot bed is so correct that my feet naturally retain an arch while in this shoe. I am hooked on the Earth shoe brand, and will probably never stray from it from now on.

Really great shoes - They look funny when you first put them on, but after a couple of days, they look much better and feel great. If you want comfortable shoes, I definitely recommend Earth Orion’s.

Takes the pressure off my big toe joint - The joint of my big toe is worn out and is very painful when it moves. I can pretty much walk pain free in these shoes. The stiff rocker sole does it I think. Very good support inside. The sole is hard and slick. It might be a problem on a wet floor in the grocery store or any floor of that type.

Great shoe - This shoe fits according to the size, unlike most of the Earth sandals. I am happy with the negative heel and the quality of the leather and laces. I plan to buy this shoe in another color because I like it so much.

Reluctant Teenager likes his new shoes! My 16-year-old son needed new shoes and wanted the same old thing he always gets, his Vans. I bought him these shoes instead due to no time to go shopping and surprised him with these and a pair of Earth sneakers, which we returned. He preferred the look of the brown Orions but initially wasn't too pleased with me for forcing them on him. However, he wore them once and didn't complain! He has remarkably better posture now, a noticeable difference, and says the shoes are "very comfortable." He even admitted that he might like another pair of Earth Shoes too, if they were in cool enough colors and styles, LOL! When the time comes, we'll be buying our next pair through Zappos again. Great service and style!
