A little heaven for your feet -
These are wonderfully easy on feet with a bunion because the negative heel doesn't put forward pressure on the bunion even though the eyelet hits that spot. Plus they don't look orthopedic or like grandma's shoes at all. No break-in time required.

Earth's Premier 2 -
What a cute little sporty shoe! Very attractive and not bulky looking. Order a 1/2 size smaller for a good fit. Good for a slightly narrow foot.

A lifesaver!
My daughter is studying in Toledo, Spain which is very hilly and the streets are cobblestone. She wrote to beg me for some shoes that would save her feet, because the ones she brought were worn to tatters. I brought these when I went to visit. She put them on and has not worn anything else since. They are soft, cushiony, comfortable and cute. The problems she was having with her feet were gone instantly. She says they help her posture and are incredible; she is hooked on Earth shoes for good. Well worth every penny.

Great Shoe!
This shoe is extremely comfortable from the first day. The Earth design has eased some hip pain I used to have when I did any serious walking. The pain just disappeared. My feet are also very comfortable. I'm going to get another pair! My feet are wide; but I could loosen the laces and the fit, width-wise, is just fine.

Happy Feet -
The fit and comfort of this shoe is excellent. I have plantar fasciitis and Earth shoes help alleviate the pain and discomfort. I spent a lot of time on my feet on my job and have gone through physical therapy for my feet; the best help I get is from Earth Shoes.

Good shoe -
Bought this for my wife and she loves it. Comfort is great and she got used to the negative heel very fast. Toe box space is great even for broader feet.

Best shoes ever!
I have a very bad bunion that is close to needing operation. The negative heel in Earth shoes takes the pressure off my toes and helps my posture too. These shoes are so comfortable. I never get a sore back or sore feet and can walk for miles with my dogs. These shoes are a must for good posture, keeping feet healthy and wearing all day. Love them.

Good looking and comfy -
I own a lot of Earth shoes, but this pair might be my favorite. It's basically a sneaker, but much snazzier looking. And it's really, really comfortable. No heel pain no matter how long I stand, and no break-in period. They were comfy the moment I got the right size. My usual size seemed a half-size large in this shoe, so I had to do a complicated exchange involving a different address. Zappos couldn't have been more helpful, and had the replacement pair to me two days later (and this was during Christmas week). You can't beat Zappos.

Great shoes, no pain.
The first time I wore these shoes I was on my feet for hours at the mall. My feet did not ache, before, during or after I got home and remove my shoes. And they are better looking and less expensive the MBT's which is the closest "like designed" shoe on the market today.

AWESOME!!!!!!
I have been familiar with earth shoes for many years; they have come a long way since the 70's. Anyway, I have some problems with my feet and have had a very hard time finding shoes that don't hurt my feet in certain areas, these are the most comfortable shoes I have every worn!!! I love that they are fashion forward also, thank you.

I ordered this shoe hoping it would help with plantar fasciitis; unfortunately it has not, but is a comfortable shoe in other aspects.

These shoes were made for walking....
I bought these shoes to walk around Disney. They were very comfortable and Earth shoes are great for my aching lower back.
They look like granny shoes, but they kept me comfortable for hours on end walking.
Earth shoes sizes are true. I wear a 6 in everything.

Great Comfort -
These shoes are extremely comfortable. Fit is true to size/width, excellent fit for a wider foot. I would highly recommend these shoes for everyday wear, travel or even to work.

Super comfortable. Arch is a tad better than the standard premier. Highly recommend if you are looking for a really comfortable shoe - I live in mine!

Never in my life!
Since foot surgery last year (and even before), I have been looking for a comfortable shoe that I can wear all day. THIS IS IS! It was comfortable right out of the box and I've worn it practically every day since.
I've had multiple surgeries on my feet to correct bunions and hammer toes. If you saw my X-rays, you'd wonder how I even walk... but these shoes have given me back the ability to walk and be on my feet all day without pain or discomfort.

My first pair of Earth tie shoes was the Glide 2 which is why I am a little disappointed with these shoes. My feet need good support and the Earth Premier 2 just does not hug my foot like the Glide does, but this may be due to the difference in materials.

I got these sneakers but had to return them because they were bothering the back part of my foot above my ankle. I felt if I wore them I would get a blister there. Other than that though they were comfortable and looked cute. I wish they hadn't bothered the back of my foot! I really liked them otherwise.

I love this shoe. They are comfortable and cute. Very quality made. However, they run a little large. I'm usually an 8.5-9. I ordered a 9 and sent them back for an 8.5 and I think an 8 would've fit perfect. i kept the 8.5. I gave 4 stars just because I wish I sent them back for an 8.

These are excellent walking shoes and really grip the ground and 'roll' as you walk. I'm walking large lab puppies (more than 50 lb) and support and firm grip are important. The lacing is less than is needed and seems loose and sloppy compared to other shoes. A huge 'sigh' factor would be that the shoes are not really a warm, buttery beige but are more 'greenish' and have, ahem, weird old lady leather products in the toe. Looks cool but in real life -- not so much. But I like and I walk after dark so my comfort shoes aren't really fashion statements.

These are a bit wider than I expected but having a hard to fit foot I kept them. I wore them to a vacation in Florida on the days we were not doing a great deal of walking due to the looser fit. This is the second pair of Earth shoes and I like my other pair better. Beware the laces sparkle along with a part of the design. You may look at your feet and think 'kid' or silly. None of the Road Scholars mentioned my shoes so it may just be my fuddy-duddy thinking. I also brought home some sand in the tread. Think ahead in your packing and add an extra plastic bag for shoes. Totally appreciate Zappos - more size 12 comfortable women's shoes please.

I have the first Earth Premier in a darker grey, and it is very cute and comfortable. I wouldn't recommend going for long walks in this shoe, but for everyday activities it's great. There's plenty of room in the toe box and it has decent arch support. I wear an 8.5 normally and this shoe is true to size.

When I took this pair of Earth Premier 2 shoes out of the Zappos box and put them on my feet last night, it was the first time I had tried a "negative heel" shoe of any kind. I'm not sure I'm buying into the manufacturer's claims that this shoe helps burn more calories and that's not why I chose it. I chose it because I liked the look and I've always thought it would be interesting to see if negative heel technology might help with pelvic/spinal support. Comfortable right out of the box. I have nearly square toes, and the toe box had plenty of room. I seem to typically wear a size 9 and these seemed to fit true to size. Arch support seems very good.

These shoes are great! I had to return the 8.5 and get an 8 as they seem to run a bit big. The toe box is fairly wide, and the larger size felt a little clowny. They are very comfortable and cute (I've gotten several compliments from friends) and I'm a big fan of the negative heel. It seems to help with my lower back/pelvis issues. They don't have the same cushioning as an athletic shoe, but I find walking in them comfortable anyway. As usual, great customer service from Zappos.

A very attractive shoe and very comfortable, as are all Earth shoes. However, the top of the shoe over the ball of the foot looks a little stretched after a few days of wearing it. It doesn't feel tight at all, but the shoe does look a little like a stuffed sausage. I'd buy another pair in a different color if it weren't for that.

Like these a lot, although would have bought them in the khaki/tan color (instead of black), if they had them in my size. I had to retire (sadly) the same shoe in khaki, because I wore them every day. The khaki color fits better for some reason. Love Earth shoes in general; have bought 8 pair in the past 12 months.
