I love them - I bought these in brown and absolutely love them. They are fashionable and extremely comfortable. The first time I wore them was on a trip, walking through airports, carrying luggage, etc. They were great! Also, they are not wide and clunky. They are slim and feminine looking. My foot isn't really narrow, but it certainly isn't wide, so sometimes sandals are too wide and flop around, especially cheaper sandals. These, however, are a perfect fit for me.

Earth - "couture" At first I thought I might need to try a 1/2 size smaller, but after wearing them for a little bit, they actually seemed to be perfect. The look adorable and have gotten several compliments...they work nicely with cropped pants, wide leg yoga pants and even my longer skirts. Really love them!

Earth is now my ONLY shoe. After suffering with back and foot problems, Earth is the only one that has made them go away. I gave these a 4 for comfort because the straps pinch my wide feet a little. I LOVE my Earth Chika! Buttery soft. And the Earth ExerFit are wonderful!

When Worlds Collide - Is it possible to have extremely fashionable and delicate, feminine sandals that are truly comfortable right out of the box? Yes! I got mine in the washed silver. These are outrageously good looking on- nothing "earthy"...and they are sublime on the feet. I'm wearing them everywhere including my niece's wedding. The ankle straps are the easiest ever to put on thanks to wee velcro strips. What more can I say? Don't waste your money on several pairs of cute but uncomfortable sandals...get these and you will be converted forever...

Cute & Comfy! I bought this sandal in silver, wore them around the house to test them out, and then decided I might not keep them because the color isn't one I would normally wear. They are SO comfortable and cute that I HAD to keep them and about a week later I ordered them in the bat brown color too! I love these sandals and I bet you will too!

I REALLY wish I didn't have to return these sandals. They're very cute and feminine, and I'm sure they'd be very comfortable...if I could actually get my foot completely into them. I'm 7 months pregnant now and had been wearing flip flops for the past month, so I hadn't realized just how much my feet had swollen. Unfortunately, these sandals are not available in wide. I can see that they would've gone with everything - jeans, crops, shorts, skirts, dresses. Specifically, it's the second set of straps from the front of the sandals that can't fit over my foot.

I love the stylishness of these sandals. People always comment on how cute they are. They are very comfortable and I walked many miles in them on vacation - no blisters, backache, or foot fatigue! I struggled to find the right size. I had tried on the size 6 in the Talia model and it fit perfectly. I normally wear a 7.5 shoe, but sandals I can usually order 1-2 sizes smaller because I have a very narrow foot. The 6 in the Fauci model was way too short for my feet, and my toes almost hung over the front and it was a bit too snug. I reordered in the size 7 and they were the perfect length, although a wee bit wide for my foot. I kept them because nobody wants snug sandals anyway.

I love this shoe--I also purchased it in gold--it is very comfortable (I HAVE A BAD BUNION ON ONE FOOT) but these don't rub or put pressure on the bunion at all. I am a 61 year old grandmother of 7 but I also had to purchase these for my 20 year old and my 39 year old daughter. Great shoe!!

Such beautiful sandals! They fit perfectly, and they're very comfortable, especially because of the velcro fasteners on the ankle straps. And they're just gorgeous! So modern - mine are the gold ones, and I've worn them with jeans, dresses, really they go with just about everything! Earth shoes are just about the only shoes I wear anymore. I wore a pair of their Sizzle sandals all through Spain last year and had zero foot discomfort, even though we walked constantly. In fact, I literally had to stop wearing them because after a year the strap broke! Now I'm anticipating wearing these all summer and beyond - I live in SoCal so I can wear them almost year-round. Zappos shipped them very fast, too. I'm very happy with this purchase!

The Fauci is very cute and comfortable and runs fairly true to size (I typically wear an 8; most Earth shoes are just a tiny bit roomy, but a half size smaller is too small; one exception was the Pozzallo which ran a whole size too large). I have plantar fasciitis, so I love the negative heel of Earth shoes. They have been a life saver - finally a sensible shoe that’s stylish, too. The gladiator sandal is so trendy now, I’m wondering when it will run its course... but very nice for this season. If you want a comfy, trendy Earth shoe, this is it.

Good looks and comfort, too! We bought this shoe for our dad who is 92 years old. He says they are comfortable and easy to put on even with his arthritis. They look good enough to use as dress shoes as well as every day shoes.

A wonderful lightweight and good looking shoe - I bought these shoes for my father who can no longer tie his own shoes. I was really just aiming for convenience with the velcro closure but found that the shoe was also a light as a feather with a very up-to-date styling. My dad just kept thanking me and saying how wonderful the shoes felt. Thanks to Zappos for carrying this model of Hush Puppies shoes. They were worth every penny. Also your shipping during the holiday rush was absolutely exceptional. I had the shoes in two days. I am totally impressed!

Impressive - My husband is limited in being able to bend down to tie shoes and these have been a true godsend to him. He is also very particular in how his shoes look and these shoes are just great looking and easy to get on.

My hubands best shoes - THESE SHOES ARE TERRIFIC! My husband's brother gave him his first pair. Doug fell in love with them. They are very comfortable. They look good also.

handsome and comfortable - This shoe is just right...it looks and feels good on the foot..it seems to be engineered for the big man with big feet because it supports the foot well...the only thing that would make it absolutely perfect is having half sizes available beyond 13. Thank you Hushpuppies.
