Customer Reviews Kalso Earth Intrigue

I like everything about these shoes! I walk a lot and have some problems with both back aches and planters fasiitis. I'm totally sold on earth shoes at this point. I just returned from a trip abroad where I wore earth shoes and could walk comfortably all day. The negative heel has proved very good for my back, and the contoured soles are like a quality gel insert. I find the look of the Intrique very fun and interesting. I've had many compliments on them particularly from people whose opinion counts to me. ...In other words, I love these shoes - Vickie

Outrageous arty shoes - I love these! Earth shoes as art! My feet stay quietly smug and happy. Earth shoes are the answer to feet after bunion surgery, and these are comfy and stylish and feel soooooo good.

Earth Intrigue - I love these shoes! Very cute and unique looking, even on my big size 11's. I get tons of compliments! It didn't take too long to get used to the negative heel, and I can tell that they're improving my posture.

Intrigue: Shoes as Art with fantastic, healthy comfort. This is my first pair of earch shoes. I was concerned about the feel of the negative hel, but it feels great. I have "problem feet" and wear orthotics, but I won't need them with this shoe. And the shoes are strikingly attractive and flattering to my large, wide feet.On a scale of 1 -5, a 10! I'm going to get more styles of this brand. True to width, not boxy in fit.

I really love mine. I walk a lot and they are very comfortable. Also they look cute on my feet and I get plenty of compliments on them.

More like these, please! I agree that the toe box is slightly narrower than other Earth shoes, but it is still very comfortable for my slightly wide feet and the look is sleeker and less clunky. I would love to see more Earth shoes with these proportions. Beautiful materials!

Very fun - I just got a pair of these and love them so far. This is my 3rd pair of earth shoes (Solar, Harvest) and hope to love these as much as my now battered Solars. They do feel narrower than my other pairs, which is good for me, but if you have very wide feet it could be a problem. These do a better job of conforming to the foot than the Solar, which is wider. These slip a little on the heel, but not too badly. I'm a fan of the negative heel thing, it is pretty fantastic once you get used to it. I chose the mostly black ones, and it looks like zappos has already sold out of many sizes...

Comfortable and good for walking - The size fits well and my toes have plenty of room. The elastic strap may be a bit snug if your feet are a little swollen and the back of the shoes (where the Achilles heel is) may be a little high for some, like me, but overall I am very pleased.

Built for Comfort, Not for Style - I realize comfort comes at a price, ie, generally giving up looks, but these shoes are so uniquely colorful that it almost makes up for it. I'm new to the Earth shoe concept so they felt a bit weird at first. And the heel is MOST uncomfortable...rubs a blister EVEN with socks on. Not shoes I'd buy to wear on a trip...they'll need some breaking in first.

I've recently become interested in Earth Shoes after suffering back and hip pain. Thought I would give them a try. However, after looking the stores, I couldn't find anything that was remotely attractive. The Intrigue design is definitely more hip than the other Earth designs in my opinion, although, I do get some interesting looks from people when they see them. I think they have made a difference in my posture and the more I wear them the more comfortable they are.

Earth Intrigue - This is an incredibly cute & stylish shoe. This style is narrower in the toe box than other Earth shoes and a little shorter feeling. I ordered a half size larger and they fit fine. The only discomfort I have experienced is from the elastic band on the top -- I have high arches and by the end of the day the elastic has dug into the top of my foot. Be aware that the colors are bright, so be ready for people to notice your shoes(so far, all of the attention has been positive).

First pair of earth shoes a + I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and funky, I wear them with everything. They only took a couple of days to break in and were good for walking the whole time. Even in a 9 and a half my feet don't look big. I would definitely buy more Earth shoes.

Really like the unique look of the shoe. I'm use to wearing Birkenstocks and the width of this shoe was comparable to their narrow..nice. I did have to to exchange this shoe because it ran a half size smaller. Zappos handled my exchange very well and didn't charge my card twice for the replacement order. Shipping it back was effortless too. I'm very happy with shoe and the service overall.

Adorable! These shoes are so cute and extremely comfortable! I didn't have a problem with the width or size like some people did. This is my 3rd pair of Earth shoes, and they do take some getting used to, but once you do it's hard to put on anything else! One note about this shoe: I didn't quite realize how blue the top and side detailing are...I thought they were more neutral. But they're definitely part of the color scheme of the shoe, so take that into account!

I'm impressed! I can actually tell that the negative heel makes my posture better. This shoe is very comfortable, with wonderful materials, and is super soft on the inside, making it comfortable to wear even without socks. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials and the contruction of this shoe, since I have never owned or tried on Earth shoes before. Even the packaging was superb; each individual shoe was in a separate cloth bag in the box! I think that the shoe is true to size; I am normally an 8, but because of reviews that this style is a little narrow, I ordered an 8.5. It is slightly long on me, but because of the width and how the shoe conforms to my foot, it is not a disadvatage and fits just fine. My only complaint is that my foot IS squeezed a bit on the sides because of the narrowness. This is my reason for the 4 and not 5 stars on comfort. I love the style and color as well (I got the black) but the negative sole design does make the front of the shoe kind of clunky and a bit duck-like. I still think they are adorable though! I have gotten a lot of compliments. Thank you so much Zappos.com for giving me the added bonus of next day shipping for free. I tried to order boots from another online shoe-store recently and was sorely disappointed. You guys are the best.

Ouch! I had such high hopes for these shoes as I wear size 11 and have a hard time finding cute shoes. Cute they are, but not very comfy. I have blisters on my heals and my toes feel pinched. I love the negative heel thing, though. I totally feel my posture improve when I wear them. Hoping to break them in...

Beautiful Shoe, Hurts My Knees - I wasn't sure whether or not I could wear the Earth shoes because of the way they're designed. I hoped they would be good for my legs because my hamstrings are always too tight & they're supposed to help with that but unfortunately they wreaked havoc with my knees so I just couldn't wear them for more than an hour & then took several weeks to get my knees to stop hurting.

Funky - I like my shoes weird, but these... I got the black ones and they weren't as comfy as Earth usually is. The toe portion was hard and I had to get a full size larger than I get in Earth otherwise. The elastic strap across the foot is very tight and has little give.

After a couple days the insole started to wear out. Otherwise, comfy to wear for 12 hours on your feet. The negative heel was a little strange to get used to at first. The shoe rubbed blisters on both heels when doing a lot of walking. The look is waay cool.

These were very cute shoes, but unlike other Earth products the toe box was a little narrow. If you have any kind of bunion problem these will feel a little snug. They were so cute though that I am going to try sizing up a half size.

Cute but painful - Really cute shoes however the heel comes up too high in the back and rubs. I only wore them around the house for a short period of time and developed a blister!!! Can't imagine actually walking around outside in them!!!! Sadly had to return them.

I ordered the floral ones and the blues and greens were WAY brighter than pictured, a little on the clowny side. I've always been a 9, every shoe I've ever owned is a 9, and these felt too tight - my toes were bumping up against the shoe...ended up returning them, I'm going to try another type of earth shoe....
