Customer Reviews Earth Kalso Cabo San Lucas 2

Look great but too tight around my big toe so had to return.

I was hesitant to buy these shoes but was convinced by my husband that the negative heel was better for me. I had to break these in because the straps rubbed but they are now very comfortable. The white sole and foot bed makes them look big on my feet. I'm glad I bought them and, in fact, bought another pair in black.

The length of the show was generous. It may run 1/2 to 1 size larger. The criss cross straps around the tow are very stiff and were much too tight, constricting the big toe. Both my daughter and I tried them on and could barely extricate our big toes from the toe thong. It was like one of those Chinese finger traps. They look really cute and are probably comfortable if you have really skinny toes. Had to return

These Kalso Earth shoes are great, very comfortable, great arch support and cute on the foot. Sadly, I have to return them because my feet were pronating inward, behind the strap, toward the heel. Kalso Earth are still my favorite shoes!

I bought these shoes about 3 years ago and wore them to death over 2+ years. I loved them and even bought them as a gift for my Mom. With summer coming, I wanted a new pair. Sadly, something seems very different. The plastic connection in the middle was irritating right away and the shoe, overall, seemed very tight. I am tempted to try a wide.

Loved the shoe, the look and the feel but they run small. Unfortunately it was the size 12 that was small. Would have ordered it in a larger size in a heartbeat if only they had come in size 13.

This is my second pair of Cabo San Lucas sandals. I bought the first for a 3-month stay in Hawaii in 2011, and literally wore them every day. I have plantar fasciitis, and Earth shoes are terrific for keeping my foot pain free through the day! The only issue I have with these shoes is that however the straps are anchored inside the shoe gives out long before the shoe itself does. My 2011 sandals only showed a bit of wear on the sole and the straps were fine, but the upper inside strap on both shoes came unglued and allowed for an extra 1/2" on give on that strap. The shoes were still wearable, but it's a sad thing when a shoe of this quality and price point has a flaw like that. We'll see about the 2012 pair! Still the most amazingly comfortable flip-flop type sandals I've ever owned. These felt quite snug out of the box. I initially ordered a size down because Earth shoes can run big, I needed my actual size in these because of the snugness of the straps. After a few days of wear, they now fit my feet perfectly.

I really loved these flip-flops when I purchased them last summer. They have incredible arch support! They do, however have a very orthopedic look to them making them less attractive than others that I have had. I also rated them lower in stars because they barely lasted through two summers without some breakage to the straps. For this price I would have expected more.

I loved these when they arrived and couldn't take them off-the arch and metatarsal ridge felt perfect, was so pleased to have some Earths, as I had some Kalso Earth oxfords back in the '70s. I was hoping they would solve my summer flip flop dilemma, as I have had plantar fasciitis and need a bit of arch support. I even ordered a second pair! However, the Cabos "mush" down fairly soon, after 1 month of wear they are pretty squished and quite loose -- so I returned the other pair. Sent for some Orthaheel Tides, they are huge, so back they go. The search goes on.

I like these but you must wear them in short time increments or your feet will ache. I think they have a built in metarsal bar to help roll over the ball of the foot - which is where I have pain. They have a great look, too.

Great for my back and posture. Attractive style. The sole really heats up under your feet. Need to cover the sole with a layer of material. Don't have half sizes. I wear an 8.5 and ordered a 9.0. Fits okay for a flip-flop.

Before buying I read a comment about the long length of the toe area. I now get it! If I push my toes to the place they would normally sit the strap between my toes pushes too tight towards my foot. Otherwise a good shoe...looks good too.

I really like the fit and feel of these sandals. Only problem is that the heel of the shoe really flops, making a loud slap with every step. This adds to the sense that they might not comfortably keep up with me in long walks. For it's price, this was disappointing.

I am not new to Earth shoes. I wore them in the 70's and am just getting back to in to wearing them again. No break in period for me. I can put them on and go! That said, the length and width of the Cabo San Lucas is great but I have a normal arch and this flip flop was painful. Unfortunately they have to go back. Why can't Earth standardize their foot beds?

Bought these because I needed more support in a flip flop after having knee surgery. They are comfortable right out of the box, no break in, good support from the thick sole.

I bought a size 8, and I found these to be very comfortable. I love them! At first, they feel a little odd but I quickly got used to them.My feet are extremely difficult to fit. They are wide and short, different sizes, and have very very high insteps and arches. The size 7 fit perfectly, but was a little too narrow. I didn't know if they would stretch at all. the 8 was very comfy though a little too long. I measure a size 7 but usually have to go up to an 8 or 8.5 for the width and height aspects. If only they made a Wide version of this, I could wear a 7!

I bought four pair of different flip flops as I couldn't decide what to get and figured I'd just pick my favorite and return the rest. I ended up returning this pair, but it was my second choice. The foot bed of the shoe was extremely comfortable and had great support. The reason it wasn't my favorite was the thick band and the way the band going across the top of the foot was snug; I think they should have made the thong part a little longer. I have narrow feet. I ended going with Merrell Vibram although for the price I'm not sure they will be worth it, but will see.

I love these sandals. The one caveat: it took several hours of short walking trips to stretch out the straps to their maximum comfort. But now, they\'re like slippers. You gotta have patience!

The straps dug into my feet, especially on either side of my big toe. Okay arch support. I'm personally not too fond of their looks - too rustic looking for walking around town.

Would be nice summer sandals, except the straps are very unforgiving. So unless you have a big toe which is exactly the size of the toe hole, you aren't going to be able to wear the shoe comfortably. Unfortunately, I had to send them back.

I have a pair of Cabo San Lucas sandals that were purchased around 2008 and have worn them almost daily. I have been so impressed with the quality and durability. The straps are becoming worn so I bought a pair of the Cabo San Lucas 2 thinking it would be the same sandal. But unfortunately find that they have signficantly changed the sizing of this model. The CSL2 is much narrower. I laid the old and new sole to sole to compare and the CSL2 is 1/3" narrower through the forefoot and 1/2" narrower through the heel. The length is the same. Also the original model says Earth on the toe strap and the CSL2 says Kalso. Otherwise the strapping material and the soles appear to be made from similar materials and seem well made.

The foot bed was very comfortable and if I could have kept them for that reason alone I would have. However, the toe strap portion was too tight. I wore them around the house for several hours with worsening pain and didn't have confidence that it would improve.

I loved this style sandal and last year purchased 3 pairs and they fit perfectly. I normally wear a 7-1/2 and purchased size 7 and they were awesome. I also have a fairly narrow and flat foot. This year I was excited to see the new color choices of Acqua and Coral. I purchased the same size 7 in the Acqua and Coral but both pairs were very tight and I could not easily get my foot in the sandal. I think their sizing is different this year 2013, and regretfully I had to send both pairs back.

This is a sub par product. I've had this particular pair for less than 2 months and already a strap has broken. It is the rosewood color that has the 'Kalso' logo between the toes. I've bought - 2 and 4 years ago - other much better quality versions of this shoe, when it was a true Earth shoe and logo reflected this - 'Earth'). Excellent quality fabric straps, cushy footbed. The sandal that just broke has flimsy fabric that caused blisters. Hard footbed. If not for a free exchange, I would not (will not) buy this shoe again.
