I wore these shoes twice before the lining of the footbed started peeling away. Very strange. I love how these shoes look and they are pretty comfortable, but I have to put a little piece of moleskin near my arch on both sides because my flat feet rub where the sides and footbed meet. I have these in the brown and they do the same thing. I would still recommend these shoes even with the two problems. I have sciatica and painful feet and overall these shoes do help somewhat.

Excellent Toe Box -
The toe box on this shoe is nice and roomy. I have trouble finding shoes that are not uncomfortable for my big toe, but this one is great. A little boxy in the looks department but worth the trade off. Shipping was prompt and website is easy to use.

Really comfortable -
I really like the strap on this shoe and I like how good of a quality it is, but I didn't keep it because of how the toe looks. I have friends that have this style and I love it on them. However, when I had it on me, it seemed to almost point up toward the ceiling. Unfortunately, it wasn't the appearance I was looking for, but the fit was just right.

It’s not easy for me to find shoes in my size (11-12), ones that give good arch support and that actually look good but these meet all three. I have arthritis in my left foot but the support and styling of these shoes helps alleviate it. They do tend to run a bit large so consider this when ordering. Never would have found them without Zappos---Thanks!

These shoes have ruined me for other shoes. I love them, but now it's hard to go back to other shoes that don't have the negative heel. I feel like I only want to wear these shoes.

I have several hard to fit foot trouble and these are very comfortable. Still not quite used to negative heel. Right now wear these at home and Naot Matai for work. Love Zappos!!!

Earth Shoes Revisited -
Shades of the '70's! I couldn't believe that Earth shoes were still around. I had to get a pair and found the best deal on your web site. Your delivery was quick and free shipping greatly appreciated. Many companies ignore Hawaii customers when it comes to shipping--they overcharge for the service or come up with lame excuses why they can't send it here. Thank you!

Comfortable shoes - They are very pretty and comfortable. My problem with my feet is that they are wide and after recently having a baby, my feet are now even wider. So the fit was a little tight and there was not enough strap for me to keep. But I do love Earth shoes for not stressing any further back pain.

Ummm...
After years of cute flats, my feet are starting to wear out and hurt if I walk more than a couple of miles. So I kind of gave in and tried these, after hearing good things from friends. I have to say, comfort-wise, they are lovely. Good arch support. Nice foot bed. But style-wise, they're a bit too granola-crunchy for me. I tried some other styles of Earth shoes that were cuter, but they didn't have the same amount of arch support. It’s a toss up. If you like this kind of style, then go for it. They are really comfy. I’ve spent some time traveling in them and it helped me walk day after day in the city with less foot pain.

Solar sweet -
I was very pleased with the immediate feel of these shoes. I am wearing them as a nursing shoe and have a lot of difficulty finding anything really comfortable. The only problem for me is the deepness of the heel or the height of the back of the shoe. This has caused some rubbing on my heel causing redness. I am hoping this will soften in time.

Earth Solar -
The service was great with Zappos! There is no other shoe that has the comfort of the Earth Spirit, although this shoe did feel larger than a size 5, I have others and they didn't have that feel. Thanks.

The strap doesn't stay on -
I bought a pair 3 years. Love it. Super comfy. BUT! the velcro straps don't stay on. I have to refasten every 5 minutes. So annoying.

Different but I like it!
Comfy right out of the box. I do experience the "knee lock" sensation after a few hours of standing so I don't wear these on my 12 hour days. This is a big negative. But the big positive is wonderful (!) arch support and lots of cushy padding. I have a slightly wide foot but the medium width fit just fine.

Larger and wider than expected -
The shoes arrived in about 24 hours and were great quality. They were larger and wider than my regular shoes and I needed to return them. I found the edges also rubbed uncomfortably on the bottom of my ankle bone. I will definitely try another style and choose a smaller than normal style.

Good arch support -
I never get enough arch support for my feet and this shoe delivered. It could use some additional cushioning for longer days/walks, but otherwise this is a solid comfy shoe.

Not bad, but not great -
Looks cute but definitely runs narrow. The high back also drags down my socks. Otherwise, a typical Earth shoe: comfortable; durable; likable. Not my favorite Earth shoe.

Earth solar -
I typically take a 5 and 1/2 or a 6 wide, but a 5 gave me more than ample room length and width wise. I wear both stockings and cute socks in them depending on my pants. I even wore them with a long dress due to a back problem. I would prefer a buckle strap. They are extremely COMFORTABLE!

Great shoe -
These shoes are very cute and very comfortable. True to both size and width. The negative heel takes a little getting used to, but not problematic at all. I can see wearing these if I had to be on my feet all day.

Super comfy, but too high of a heel in back!
These were very, very comfy and had good arch support. They look good with jeans. However, I agree with other reviewers in that the back of the shoe comes up too high on the heel. It was very uncomfortable. That little flap at the back even had padding, but I don't see why it needs to be there in the first place.

Disappointing...but stars for good arch -
These shoes have such potential, but in the end they really do hurt too much to walk in. The high back of the shoe is very painful (I have a narrow almost non-existent heel, and I think that is the problem). And I tried placing the heel guards in, but that shifted my foot forward in the shoe which threw off the arch alignment. Now I am a stubborn person and I am determined to make them work. I have had the backs stretched professionally, so I am hoping they will be less painful. Also they have no cushioning, so I have to place insoles in them just to make them more comfy.

Takes a while to wear them in -
I am enjoying the Earth shoes, but can still wear them comfortably for only a few hours. It is taking a long while to sear them in.

Comfy, but almost clown-like for size 10 -
I love these shoes!!!! They are so comfortable, and the negative heel really does improve your posture and relieve back strain. The only negative thing about these shoes (as with all Earth shoes) is the look. I have super skinny calves and ankles and wear a size 10...and they look like clown shoes. I don't care if people laugh or not though, these shoes are so comfy. I agree with another reviewer about my pants being just a bit too long now. They're also pretty roomy in the toes, but I have skinny feet. But, as far as Earth shoes get, these are probably the most stylish.
P.S. Thanks so much Zappos for shipping to APO addresses, you have no idea how much that means to us!!!!

Velcro -
I feel the shoes are very comfortable and feel great. My only concern is the velcro on the strap. It has ruined x3 pairs of my Leggs!!! Have placed a small strip of tape on the reverse side which has helped tremendously. These are great earth shoes with the dressier Mary Jane look.

Not the usual Earth!
I own several pairs of Earth shoes (how can you go wrong?), but this one was a little tight and not as comfy as my others; the toe curls up just a little too much and the toe box seemed just a bit less deep than other pairs, for my problem foot. This would probably stretch out in time, but I needed something quick for a trip to in climate areas, so didn't keep them. Thanks, Zappos for helping me out!

Earth Solar -
I really like the Earth Solar shoe. It is very comfortable and looks very nice. The fit seems true, as I ordered my regular size. After wearing it all day, I took my dog out for a walk and by the time we returned, my calves were aching. Build up to long walks gradually, or stretch out before walking any distances in them. My only concern is with the narrow strap. I hope that it holds up over time. Overall, a very nice shoe and very comfortable. I would definitely order more of this brand, and definitely from Zappos. Your service and free shipping is awesome!
