Customer Reviews Kalso Earth Lazer - Vegan

My fallback earth shoe in my closet. Have worn mine out. Roomy, cozy, comfy, and supportive.

I'm a huge Earth Shoe fan & am always looking for vegan shoes, so I was excited to find the Earth Lazer. It's a really comfortable, flexible shoe--think of the Nike Free's sole. I think they run a tad bit bigger than my other Earth vegan shoes, but not enough that I returned them. The only other thing I noticed is that the back part of the shoe hits higher on the Achilles than my other shoes. Not a problem, just noticed it. I love that these shoes came in black. I highly recommend these shoes and would gladly buy another pair. I would go with a new pair of Earth Glides first, then I'd get another pair of these.

I returned a pair of Earth Glide 2 and ordered these instead. These are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn. They are very lightweight and you can stuff them into an overnight bag and they spring right back into shape. They are also very breathable--my feet stay comfortable even in high heat and humidity. I would recommended these shoes and of course Zappos is the best!

I have 5 pair of this style in assorted colors that I have purchased in different years. The sizing remains consistent but the laces can be different, sometimes more stiff & sometimes mildly elastic (which I prefer). I practically live in these shoes! I am an occupational therapist and on my feet all day, requiring me to get in varying positions for therapy with my clients. The flexible soles on these are perfect! In addition, the Earth Lazer shoes are extremely lightweight and, with the ability to practically flatten in the suitcase, they travel well. That makes it easy for me to toss in a couple pair when I travel and not add too much weight to my luggage. Although great to walk in, I do not wear these on rocky terrain as I can feel the rocks through the soles. Earth makes other shoes that have sturdier soles, so it is no sacrifice to give that up in these.

OK, I know that you are never supposed to do this, but I did it. I pulled these shoes out of the box, tried them on, walked around the house for an hour, then stuffed them in my backpack. I was headed to the Grand Canyon, where I pulled them from my backpack, put them on my feet and went down Hermit Trail. True story. I never have had a pair of desert hiking shoes like these. Light weight, strong, durable (this story was 3 years ago and I still hike in the same pair) great flex, fine grip, plus squishy soft and easy on/off as well as to pack. In short, Wonderful. Drawback to these shoes are that they are for desert hiking only and any snow and you have wet feet due to the wonderful vents. Enjoy Earth shoes!

The Earth Lazer-Vegan is my favorite ever shoe. I now own 3 pair. Black, Gray and Brown. I wish they still offered the Gray as it is my favorite color for blue jeans. I have bunions and this lovely soft shoe doesn't care. The gray ones have become my outdoor work shoes. I'll wear them until they are worn out. These are cool weather shoes; I highly recommend.

I adapted quickly to the negative heel as I had been wearing similar semi low heel Birkenstock shoes in search of relief for back pain. These Earth shoes have been wonderful for my back. I work long hours on my feet and I no longer have foot pain at the end of the day. As a plus, they are so lightweight they make a great shoe to take along on a trip. A young co-worker recommended them to me and at 60 plus years of age I highly recommend them. Zappos is great!

I've had these for a year and they are still comfortable. I enjoy not having my toes squished together. My chiropractor recommended these to help me stand up straight while carrying a backpack. The only problem is that if you are used to just walking in them and you start hiking or dancing in them, they will make the front of your ankles hurt (maybe because of the negative heel). Also, as you slip them on and off your foot, the fabric inside of the heel of the shoe will tear, but you can sew a patch over it using khaki fabric. If you are like me and a shoe with any kind of heel makes the balls of your feet hurt a lot after a short while, I recommend these shoes. Most of the tread is gone after a year, so I recommend getting Earth shoes with deeper tread. I still wear the shoes even now without the tread, but it will be tricky to walk and not fall once the roads get icy. Best of all, these shoes are Vegan!

Some folks think this shoe is ugly. I say one person's ugly is another's funky. I love them. Very comfortable -- not tight, but snug at mid-foot and plenty of wiggle room for toes. Negative heel might take some getting used to for those who have never worn Earth shoes.

A friend on a recent tour recommended these shoes. I was not sure if I would like them, but I love them. They are light weight so my feet do not get tired on an all day tour. Easy to back in a suitcase (do not take up space). Not bulky like walking/running shoes. Look good with slacks. Would recommend them to all travelers.

Love these shoes. I added an extra layer inside to add some cush, they needed it. But they are nicely lightweight, water and sand friendly, keep their shape and good looks through a lot of use. Toes have plenty of room to wiggle. My last pair lasted over 3 years with a lot of use and I keep them in my car for dirty hikes. Great price through Zappos!

Fantastic Shoes! Very light and with really great arch support. The entire shoe upper is this thick stretchy material, and hubby took one look at it, then at his pronated (and twist-prone) wife, and said this doesn't have enough support for you; but in fact the structure of the soles (arch and negative heel) is enough. Plus, this way there's no stiff sides that rub against your ankle and hurt. another perk, no tongue! the upper is one single piece. The laces help you adjust where you want it tighter or looser, but there's no independent tongue slipping annoyingly down one side and ticking you off and distracting you when you really should be thinking about whether you took the right fork (acorn trail) or left fork (oak trail) back there, and if you stop to try to fiddle the tongue back up top everyone else gets way ahead of you, out of sight, then you get lost at the next fork and wind up on top of pendle hill having long ago eaten your last mandarin, twilight's falling, your pals are all back at the inn having hot food and your damn shoe tongue has slipped back down the side of your damn shoe.i like these shoes.

I work in health care (PT department) and I'm on my feet all day. These shoes are fabulous. I plan on ordering more colors. A bit of difficulty initially getting on because of the style but, then it is like walking on air. Extremely flexible sole allows me to move freely kneeling, squatting, etc. without pain in my feet.

Please never stop making these shoes. I have pronounced bunions on both feet, and these shoes are perfect for me, great for long walks and light hikes. The toe box is wide with no seams, but the heel is relatively narrow, making for a great fit. Very comfortable, light and flexible for travel.

I never had a pair of tennis shoes that felt so comfortable and so much like just my bare feet as the earth lazer vegan tennis shoes. They weigh only a few ounces and are great for walking, climbing, hiking, exercising etc. etc. As an added note they also keep their shape perfectly...even after being machine washed. I love my lazers a lot !!!

Bought these for my 90yr old Mother who recently had knee replacement surgery and was experiencing a “droopy foot” syndrome. She has indicated the lightness and comfort of the shoe has definitely helped - because of the “Earth shoe” effect. It has helped her to stand taller leaned back a little more than usual (for her) - thereby assisting her to lift her droopy foot a little higher for the next step. The purchaser (son) liked the shoes so much he purchased a pair for himself to go with his (Earth Shoe) Energetic-K shoes! We both love ‘em!

These shoes are awesome! They are comfortable, stylish, lightweight, and cruelty-free - what else could one ask for? I wear size 9.5 or 10, and the 10s fit perfectly. You can\'t go wrong with these.

These shoes rock! This is my 5th pair of the Earth Lazer shoes and I love them so much. I have a back injury that makes it imperative that I wear light shoes with flexible souls and these shoes are perfect. They are also really cute and I have gotten lots of compliments for the "Cool" factor. I'm a girl and I like to look like a girl and these shoes definitely look like cool yoga type shoes. Also, I walk around all day at work and these are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. Get them. I promise you won't be disappointed!

This is the second pair of Earth Lazer, and certainly not the last. They are comfortable from the first day and hold up very well under daily wear. In fact, after a year I bought a second pair only to get a different color!

These are the absolute best shoes for comfort. I've tried everything out there and these Earth Shoes beat them all. And thank you Zappos for the absolute best service. You beat them all hands down!

Comfortable shoe - Shoe was true to size. I normally wear a 6.5 and ordered a 6.5. For someone that was not used to the heel down method this shoe was great because I found it did not rub on my Achilles heel. I believe that once I get used to walking this way I will be able to order the other Earth shoes.

This shoe is incredibly light. Unfortunately, the foot bed is not well padded but a thicker sock helps. It fits like a glove and you may need the back lace to pull it on. The arch support is excellent. The shoe felt true to size and lots of wiggle room. And they are cute.

Great all around town shoe! I am an active elder in my community and I stand a lot while giving healing sessions - this shoe / sneaker is the most comfortable all around shoe that I have ever slipped my feet into! I have an unusual foot - narrow heel, bunion on the left foot and nerve pain when I put pressure on the ball of the foot - Podiatry recommended painful Cortizone shots and then surgery to correct the discomfort. I decided to try a different shoe first and... It did the trick with the negative heel design. No pain and walking happily again! I wish this fit came in a maryjane style as well. However when I tried on the maryjane style it was way too wide! Thank you for the really quick delivery as well as the no shipping costs both ways. I really appreciate that.

These shoes actually made my large foot look smaller. However, I returned them because they were just a shade too small. My large toe was almost hitting the end of the shoe and prolonged walking would not have been good. Wish Earth made a size 10.5. The width was perfect for my foot which runs a bit narrow. I think the next size up would be too big.

Great show to wear shopping. I bought the white and they look really nice with shorts and long jeans. I have a high instep and usually have a hard time pulling on slip-on shoes. This is not the case with these shoes.
