Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers Ellsworth Ballerina

This shoe is just what I was looking for! It's cute and casual. I ordered 1/2 size larger than normal, put in my orthotics -- and they are perfect! I ordered the dark blue color to wear with ankle jeans, once summer is over. Very nice!

Love them! I got the wide even though I don't do wide. They are true to size, but get the wide. LOVE THEM!

Super happy with the shoe. It fits slightly on the loose side but I like it that way. My only concern is keeping the light colored shoe clean, with normal wear. Not sure if I need to leave it home on rainy days or not.

This shoes are great for my wide feet. My feet are particular wide in the toe box and I often have trouble finding flats to accommodate. These fit beautifully and weren't too tight in the toe area. They also are very comfortable and provide decent support. These aren't your average flimsy flats. I love the color, too. While it is called "burnt orange" the only orange part is the ribbon lining around the opening of the shoe. The leather itself is a rich, brown leather with reddish undertones. I will definitely buy these in other colors.

I wanted to love these shoes. I'm traveling over the summer-doing a lot of walking - and wanted to buy a pair of stylish, but comfortable flats that I could wear with shorts. I have slightly wide feet and these were perfect. But the back of the shoe kept jabbing into my heel. I'm not sure if I broke them in, it would go away, but I didn't want to chance it. I bought the beige nubuck, and they were a fantastic nude, casual shoe (to lengthen short legs in shorts!). Too bad!

These are a very nice looking, comfortable ballerina shoe. If you're looking for a well designed casual shoe with good support, treat yourself to these. I have them in two colors and they are very comfortable.

Very cute shoe, the red is very bright and pretty. No rubbing, however toebox is a bit stiff at the end and these fit a tad small. I kept them, hopefully they stretch a bit but at least don't seem like they will cause blisters.

Love this pair of flats. Solid construction, holds up to being on my feet all day over all kinds of terrain. Comfortable with socks or without. I have rotten back, but this pair gave me good support. I can wear a 9 or a 9.5, sometimes a 10 if the shoes run small. 9.5 was the right choice.

I love the way these shoes look and feel. The soles are very well cushioned. My only problem with the shoe is that the back of the shoe is very stiff and rubbed my heels.

I am 74 years old and haven't worn flats in many years. Once I got used to the technique involved (heel first!) they were terrific first time out today. I did use a foot petal since I like to go barefoot with this type of shoe. Very attractive grey-blue color which could be worn with many different colors of pants or skirts. If need a little extra width across the toe normally, but these fit correctly out of the box. No break in required.

I bought this shoe several months back. I have never been in so much pain. The back of the shoe jabs itself into my heel. I tried to "break them in" giving them time to move and mold. Of course by then, I couldn't return them. I've tried them with and without footies, with and without socks. Nothing seems to help. Disappointed, to say the very least, for the amount of money spent.

This is a very attractive soft leather shoe that is beautifully crafted. I'm just sorry that they don't fit my feet because the instep area near the toe box is tight and not high enough.

Aesthetically, this shoes is gorgeous. The shape looks great and the lines create visual interest. The bit of elastic around the top keeps gapping at bay. The foot bed is well padded for a flat. Unfortunately I had to return the item due to fit. In my normal size the end of the shoe was firmly against my toes. While it was not massively uncomfortable, I worried about trying to break them in to only find out that I couldn't wear them due to blisters or discomfort. I returned the initial pair and ordered a half size up. In that second pair the shoe was great near my toes but too long in the back. I had to return those as well.

I like these well enough. I like the pop the orange brings to an otherwise pretty plain brown shoe. after wearing them all day my heels are a little raw, and I can't wear them two days in a row... yet?

I ordered two pairs of this shoe, one in red and one in aqua. my toe hit the end of the shoe the second I put them on. I love them, but am returning them for a larger size.

I love the look of these flats but they are not as comfy as I would like. I have an extremely wide and large foot (12D) and while these fit, they are still problematic: the leather is fairly rigid and pinched right across my left toe knuckle to the point of numbness (I've stretched it with a shoe stretcher since and that has relieved it somewhat). They really could use some extra arch-support as well, which I tried to fix with an arch-only-insert, but it just made the shoes feel more awkward (although I suspect that's an issue with the insert more than the shoe. Those things are worthless). I was worried that the elastic ribbon band around the top of the shoe would be uncomfortable, but it is not, so there's a plus. I also have no problem with the heel of the shoe like some of the other users. I will wear them for brief occasions, but they won't be an 'everyday, all day' shoe like I hoped. I would especially be wary of them if you have bunions or fallen arches.

I was looking for a pair of off-white flats to wear with skirts in the summer. While these (beige) are not that color, they are sort of flesh-tone so they do work with lighter color skirts. Based on other reviews, I ordered a full size up from my normal & length-wise, I don't think I could go smaller. The toe box seems adequate, but the shoe does gap somewhat near the middle of my foot. You can see that a little in the video of the shoe. They seem comfortable enough wearing them around the house, only time will tell. They are very cute; I agree they would look great with jeans or dressy, but I'm not sure they would hold up to everyday wear for too long...the sole is very thin. So these will be my summer church shoes only.

I really like these shoes, I own the black full grain version but will be back later to buy at least one of the other colors. They are comfortable and keep their shape better than other flats I have owned, no gapping at the sides of the shoe. They are so far holding up very well to a lot of walking. I normally wear a 10.5 and the 11 fit very well, so I would say they run a little short.

Ouch! The toe box is way short on these shoes! I bought Timberland because I wanted a good leather shoe that I could wear back and forth to work, and running around. I kept them, thinking I could 'break them in', but so far, it hasn't worked. But they are rugged, very well constructed, just not soft or giving. Oh well.

Cute basic flat. The heel takes a couple of wears to get comfy, and my big toe rubs just a little bit on the side, so socks are a requirement. There's room to add in an arch support insole, which is super helpful since I'm on my feet all day as a teacher. The cushion in the shoe is nice, but it just isn't supportive enough for all-day wear.

I really wanted to like these, and tried them in 2 sizes. Something about the design of the shoe makes the flex point align with the bunion bones, in both a 36 and 37. It was very uncomfortable.

These would have been perfect except for the fact you can't remove the insole. that is a no-go for me. the padding these come with are terrible, they're not even comfortable with a 3/4 insert. as for the fit: I have wide feet and these fit great, which is rare in a flat. there was plenty of "wiggle room" in the toe box. they're really cute too. so sad I have to send these back.

I should have listened to other reviews saying that some colors of this shoe run small. The black runs at least a half-size smaller than the printed size. Very smashed toes. Back they go.

I love the look of these shoes, and when I slipped them on they felt so comfy. I thought for sure they would work for me and I was happy, because I've been searching for a comfortable pair of brown or tan flats for ages, and have bought and returned so many pairs. The Buckthorn Brown Journeymen color is very pretty and would go with everything. But when I started to walk around the house in these, I realized that they felt squished in the toe box on my larger foot, even though the width felt fine across my foot and my toe did not reach the end of the shoe. It was more like the shoe pushed down on the top and side of my big toe, just on that one foot. I usually wear a 7.5 M or W, and I ordered these in 7.5W. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that a larger size won't remedy the problem because the 7.5 already was a little bit loose everywhere except for in that one spot. And I don't think this is an area where the shoe is likely to stretch after wear. I am so disappointed, but I will be returning these.
