Customer Reviews Earth Bellwether

I bought these for work because I knew I'd be on my feet all day. I wanted some flats that would be comfortable yet still look professional and hopefully cute? They don't look like much, definitely not the cutest pair of flats but they are pretty comfortable. When I slipped my foot in I couldn't get over how good the sole felt. As for using them at work, they're not bad. I've worn them about 3 or 4 times so far for about 10 hours each day. I'm hoping they break in a little more but I'm sure they will after a few more uses. Like I said, maybe not the cutest but they look pretty decent with my work outfits. I had a coupon so I decided to splurge. I probably wouldn't buy them without the coupon but that's just me.

I normally wear a 7.5 wide. These felt slightly longer than a 7.5 but not all the way to 8. My biggest problem is the opening at the top of the shoe. It pushes against my big toe joint and I don't have a bunion or normally have this problem.

They are a really soft, and relaxed-leather pair of shoes. They are also an attractive, subdued red color and I found they made a nice accent to my wardrobe. I found they ran a tiny bit big. I usually wear a 7, and they were loose on me, but not loose enough to size down to a 6.5. Very comfortable out of the box.

I was looking for flat but somewhat fancy shoes for a wedding but I have a difficult time finding dress shoes that fit my wide at the toe but narrow at the heel. I normally wear and 8 but had to return them and get a 7.5. They are very comfortable in the toe box area but too wide in the heel so I bought some heel inserts to keep them from sliding off.

Believe them when they say the fit is half a size too long! I almost always wear a 6½W, and that size is definitely too long. I think the wide width will be fine once I can get it in a size 6. Zappos, you are out of 6W in the colors I like! I am looking forward to hearing from you when 6W comes back into stock. These are very comfortable, very padded. I am not usually a wearer of flats, but I am six months out of double bunion surgery on one foot and still not ready for heels yet. Thanks, Zappos! I love your styles, selections, and customer service!

I normally wear an 8M but ordered a 7 1/2 based on reviews and notation from Zappos on the product description. The 7 1/2 was too small. I re-ordered in my usual 8M and they fit perfectly. I have not worn them for any length of time yet but seem well made and fairly comfortable. I usually wear orthotics for additional arch support but think that I might be able to wear these without my orhtotics. Nice cushioned footbed and moderate arch support built into the shoe. Nice looking everyday shoe for work. Good heel height, still reasonably dressy without wearing heels.

Very comfortable shoe but it runs a entire size large. I'm an 8 and I needed the 7.

Beautiful shoe - just too small in the toe box for my long toes. I'm afraid a larger size would be too loose everywhere else.

Ordered these shoes because I am on my feet all day at work as a veterinarian. I still need to look professional, though, and I've been having a difficult time balancing comfort with style. Ordered these after reading all the good reviews. Very happy with them so far, but haven't had a chance to wear them for extended periods yet. The first pair I ordered were far too big. I usually wear a size 6.5-7 and ordered 6.5 since they reviewed as running a little big. Well, the 6.5 fell right off my feet, so returned for size 6 (haven't worn size 6's since I was in high school, so these definitely run very large). They are very cute and have a nice, streamlined silhouette (hard to find in comfy shoes). My only complaint is that they are very squeaky! Hoping the squeaky sound goes away once I break them in

My size varies from 8 to 8.5 and I ordered the 8 wide. It was still so loose in the heel I could fit a full finger behind my heel before reaching the shoe. The wide part felt fine in the front, didn't feel like it would stretch and have my feet falling out.

I ordered these in 8½ and they slipped in the heel and was a little too long. I ordered the 8 to compare and that was tight. I ended up keeping the 8½ and adding heel padding to prevent it from slipping and it now fits great. Not as padded a foot bed as I had hoped for, but the red color is great. I will get a lot of use out of them at the office on days that I do not have to be on my feet too much.

I love these shoes. I need a sturdy shoe with arch support. Navy flats are not easy to find. However, when I got them they are huge. so i ordered them a half size down and those fit. These are going back. Overall, a very nice and attractive shoe that runs large.

I was looking for an everyday flat that had superior arch support for my plantar fasciitis feet. This one has moderate support, but not enough that I can wear it all day. The search continues...

I got these based on other reviews, but when they arrived, I found them to squeeze my foot right across the widest part just like most other shoes do. I figured wide would do the trick, but they weren't comfortable enough to keep. Sadly, I returned them through the painless return process.

It's breaking my heart to return these! They are adorable, soft, and comfortable, and their wide width is truly wide. Sadly, however, my feet are wide because of bunions, and the front of the shoe hits me RIGHT on the bunion, which causes pain. If you don't have any issue with bunions, these shoes will probably be fabulous for you, but I will have to send them back. Rats.

I bought the red shoes and the color is amazing. My boyfriend was bummed because guys can't find shoes in colors like this. I'm only returning them because they run a little big on my feet and my heel slips out of the shoe on the right, but I'm just getting half a size smaller.

Love the Rusty red shade of these shoes! Since I wear orthotics, got them in a wide width. Will return for a medium width as they are way too wide, even with the orthotic in place. the orthotic will still fit I think.

After a day of compliments and comfort from my new pair of Earth Bellwether's I quickly ordered another pair, this time in black, assuring myself another pr while they're still in stock! The arch support isn't even quite to the moderate level, but adequate.

These are cute, well made flats but they are way too big which I am finding is a trend with some Earth styles. Also where the front of the shoe hits the tops of my foot, the edge is a bit sharp (if that makes sense). The Maize style also runs big but is more comfortable.

Love the look. Alas my bunion didn't hit the right spot and due to all of the above left shoe too big. I have hard feet to fit.

As some other reviewers have noted, the opening of the shoe is slightly tight around the medial joint of the great toe. However, after wearing them around the house a little bit, I broke them in. I wore them the next day at work (lots of standing, walking at the clinic) for 9 hours straight and forgot I was wearing new shoes! The sole of the shoe is very firm and supportive, which is necessary for a flat to be comfortable. I also wear Danskos a lot so these are not a bad alternative.

Love the shoes but the size 10 ran big. I need to return them for a 9.5, however they don't have any left! Bummer.

I like the shoe but I ordered my normal size which is 11W and it is just too large for me. When I tried it on, I walked out of the shoe. That never happens to me! I am sending back but I will try again. I love Zappos for shoes.

These shoes are really comfortable! Not super fashionable, but definitely not objectionable. Good choice for a basic work flat.

Beautiful, comfortable and just a little too big; the heels slips. I remedied this by adding wool roving to the toe which helps a great deal. I want to get those heel inserts to tighten it up a bit more. I'm not sending them back because they are gorgeous!
