Customer Reviews Earth Bindi Earthies

This is the most comfortable flat I have tried yet. I also really adore the cut-out design. This is my first time trying an Earthies brand shoe and it will not be my last. Incredible arch support - I've never experienced this in a flat before. What a relief for my high arches.

This shoe is extremely comfortable, but simply has a "heavy" look to it when on the foot. The light teal is a lovely color, and the overall style is nice, but I need something less clunky for a few dresses. Also, it is worth noting that the piece that covers the back of the heel is quite high on the leg - higher than most other flats.

These are not my usual style -- I don't typically go for cut-out designs on my shoes, as I tend to prefer cleaner lines. That being said, I absolutely love these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable and supportive, which is hard to find in a flat, and I didn't find the back of the heel to be too high at all. There is a hidden wedge inside, so the back doesn't come up as far as it may seem from just looking at them. The teal color is gorgeous! This is my second pair of Earthies -- I really love this brand.

I have found that Earthies run large and that I need to order a half size smaller than usual. I am typically an 8.5, but am an 8 in Earthies shoes. The Bindis are cute and relatively comfortable. The backs rub a bit and will require some breaking in, but they feel good on my moderately high arches and are cute enough to be casual or work appropriate.

I've been hunting for flats that have arch support and these Earthies are the only ones I've found that have any at all. They therefore last a little longer when traipsing about a city (especially on cobblestone) for a day, but your heels may still hurt at the end, because - I'm sad to admit - there does not appear to be a women's shoe in existence that is both stylish and able to support day-long urban exploration fully. These are pretty close, though, and easy to pack. Just don't wear them in the rain (holey). I may splurge on buying another color later. The beige shade goes well with a lot of things.

These shoes are beautiful...but after two months they looked like I had been wearing them for two years. The first time I wore them outside, I slightly scratched the toe carrying my son up some concrete stairs. The laser-cut leather has a veneer-like coating and it started to peel back -- and it kept going. Any little ding or scratch would cause the same thing. I wouldn't care if these were cheap shoes, but I expect my expensive shoes to last several seasons and see them as an investment. Unfortunately, I waited too long to return them. I also noticed that after a few months the arch supports didn't seem as supportive, but I use super feet inserts and they work well (I have plantar fasciitis from a foot injury). One reviewer complained about the higher back but it accommodates inserts perfectly. I have other Earthies shoes and I really like them, but these are not worth the money.

I do really like these flats a lot. HOWEVER, I must mention the problem I had with the first pair I bought. I, evidently, scuffed the toe. I noticed a peeling of the surface of the leather or the nubuck. (The Biscuit color was supposed to be nubuck.) After inspecting this peeling, I was certain that this was a man made product, not natural leather. It was as if the entire outer skin were applied to the shoe. I promptly returned the shoes because I paid for leather and I paid good money. I got the green ones as replacements, because these were supposed to be leather. (The biscuit color was indicated as nubuck. Of course, nubuck is natural, too, but this peeling was beyond natural). After receiving these, I have to say that they look and feel just like the other ones! But I'll give them a fair try. If this happens again, I'll send them back as defective, as I did before. (The other pair was purchased through a different online vendor.) With that said, I do love the shoes. They have a nice little arch support. They have clean lines, and the cut-out treatment and scalloped edging are quite feminine. They are very comfortable! And they look fabulous. I was a bit concerned about the shade of green from the computer, but I really do like it more than I thought I would. The color goes with most everything. Oh-- one more thing. The fit of this pair is much smaller than that of the other color. The other ones were a bit longer and these fit correctly.

I love these shoes. They were true to size, are comfortable, and have just enough heel height to add a little extra style and comfort.

Upside: These are possibly the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen. Very flattering. I have the green/fern color and tried them on with skirts and dresses of various lengths, pants, capris, shorts, etc. in multiple colors and patterns and they look good with literally everything. Could wear them spring, summer, and early fall. Can dress it up or works with casual styles, too. Very versatile shoe. Absolutely gorgeous detailing and excellent quality as usual. The footbed is so soft and comfortable. Feel very supportive on my high arches. The look of a ballet flat but with support for real life. Was concerned about the stability with the narrow heel but just around the house does not feel like it will be a problem. Have not worn them outside yet. Downside: I normally wear a size 9 in earth (and every shoe). Ordered the 9s and they were very narrow and scrunchy in the toe. Zappos sent a size 9 1/2 and these feel lovely but my heel is slipping out. I really want to keep these shoes, so will be researching if I can put something in the heel to keep it from slipping. Gorgeous shoe.

This shoe is gorgeous. I have never seen or tried on a flat that has such great arch support and felt comfortable from the get-go. I bought the size 11 initially but those ended up being too big, so I ordered a size 10 which ended up being slightly too small. If they had 10.5s, I would have totally bought every kind they had. Ah well.

Like some other reviewers, these felt 1/2 size large. I usually wear a 10 in Earthies (both open and closed toe) and was reluctant to go down to a 9 1/2, but the smaller size fit much much better. I love having arch support in a flat. The biscuit is a great beige / camel color that goes with so much. I would prefer smooth leather to the nubuck, but I will just have to learn how to take care of them.

These are terrific flats. They are beautifully made, and so pretty. I got black and tan. I did add a footpad so my toes didn't slide forward, but that's because my 2nd toe is longer than it should be!

This is a very nice shoe and comfortable but as some others have said, the back of the shoe came apart after only a few wearings. I don't know whether the heel angle makes it vulnerable to tearing or what the issue was but it should not be so poorly made.

I love these shoes for comfort and style---BUT I am returning them because they are literally falling apart after wearing them a few weeks. There are about 10 small spots where the leather is peeling away or just plain gone. I'm not particularly hard on shoes and have never had this problem before with any shoes.

These shoes are MAGIC. This is my 4th pair of Earthies "Bindi" and I cry a little inside knowing that, to the manufacturer, these were probably just another style when to me they became the shoes that changed my life. I wore these bad boys through 3 internships, undergrad, grad school, work and pretty much every day all day since I discovered them 4 years ago. They have amazing arch support and an internal wedge that my feet love. The style is good with everything from leggings to work pants to joggers.Wonderful leather lining.I had the black suede, the black leather and the biscuit leather and now I have another pair of the black leather to replace the first ones. I wear a 9 in these, the suede ones seem to run a bit bigger than the leather. Please please keep these in stock or convince the manufacturer to continue making these.

I've been on a search for ballet flats with arch support for wide feet. Finding Atlantis might be easier. These shoes are super cute and comfy, but I found the 7.5 wide to be big all over and have to return them.

This is my second pair of Earth shoes, and they're amazing. The Bindi Earthies did rub my heels and give me blisters at first - they feel stiffer than the other pair I had. They are also quite heavy, but I like that. Just like the other pair they have GREAT arch support and are comfortable in a way I never thought 'pretty' work shoes could be. I think I have a new favorite brand. I LOVE the cutout leather on this pair. I usually wear a 10.5W or 11W and find I need a 10W in Earth shoes - they typically feel a bit too tight at first, but the leather loosens, so I really do need the 10. I do have wide feet and it's a struggle - sometimes a brand's 'W' is something I can't jam my foot into past the toes. Earth's W is perfect.

Loved the shoes, comfortable, stylish...everything I was looking for except that after a few months of wear ( not everyday) they were peeling and look awful! I am so disappointed!

These are beautiful and well constructed shoes but alas not wide enough in the forefoot to accommodate bunion. I was very disappointed to have return them. I would say these are not good for anyone with a bunion.

I love these shoes, comfortable from the time I first put them on. Good padding and arch support and s soft leather. I will definitely buy Earthies shoes again.

These are the most comfortable, attractive and healthful shoes I own that aren't tie shoes. They hold my foot in a cradle that supports my arch, cups my heel and puts my body in perfect alignment. I can wear them all day and neither my feet nor my back will hurt! You gotta love that.

These shoes are pretty, and they have excellent arch support. I've never worn a pair of flats with that much arch support before. Unfortunately, the toe-box was a little too narrow for me. Otherwise, they would have been perfect.

Comfortable shoes with great arch support, but needs a little breaking in. Initially, I wouldn't wear them for an all day outing on the first wear.

Attractive shoe, well made for price. However, I will be returning because the heel seems to drop down which puts my hips in uncomfortable position. I'm sure it's just the way I'm made. I need a rise in heel to be comfortable. Zappos best place to shop.
