Customer Reviews Earth Alma

I loved the bright red color and the shoe felt true to size but it looked very clunky. I have an another style from the same maker (Earth) using the same material but that is cut more stylishly. Decided to return. See photo comparing its cut with a Dansko shoe just for comparison of cut.

I have a difficult finding shoes because I need to put in orthotics. I order a 1/2 size bigger and hope for the best. This worked for this pair of shoes and they are comfortable and I feel that they don’t look like grandma shoes. I need the strap because of narrow heel and yet need room at the toes. It’s hard to find all that in a shoe and these work! I ordered more pairs for the future.

I have flat feet and had an operation on both of my big toes and finding cute comfortable shoes is difficult to say the least. These shoes feet perfect and are very comfortable. The picture doesn't do justice. I wasn't sure I would like them, they don't look "cute" in the picture but they are cute and comfortable to my surprise.

I wanted to keep this shoe soooo bad, but just did not fit right in some places. The heel height was perfect for a flat, but the heel area ran a bit wide. Excellent arch support. The toe box was wide enough and deep enough, but needed to be a bit higher to accommodate a fatter foot. I was hoping this was going to fit just like the Earth Kalso without the negative heel. The Kalso was perfect in every way except for the heel. This shoe is feminine, sturdy, and very supportive. A good shoe for a good price.

I love these. My only complaint is that they’re maybe a teensy bit too small. I’m not exchanging them because I feel like they will stretch enough and they’re not even close to intolerably uncomfortable. Just for reference, I normally wear 7.5-8 and got these in 8, so....if you’re planning on wearing them with socks, I’d say go a half size larger. But they’re super cute, soft, foot bed comfortable. Arch support decent enough for my flat feet. The buckle is decorative- the straps are velcro. You’ll need leather/suede protectant because they’re nubuck. That’s all.

On the fence about trying these in a half size larger. Zappos makes it so easy, I might have to give it a try! I found the toe area slightly short, even though the rest hit in the right spots. Slightly tight across bunions too, which a larger size might help. Or not?! Strap placement on this was good for a mary jane, which sometimes they can irritate. Returned but may reorder…

I have a very hard time finding shoes to fit and be comfortable because I have a relatively narrow heel, but top of foot is pretty wide (thank you, bunions!) and I have short toes. I usually wear a 6.5 W in New Balance, and these shoes in that size fits perfectly. Plus I have one extremely flat foot, so I wear custom orthotics. These shoes are comfy right out of the box and so cute! I'm 58 but look a lot younger and am very active, so until recently it's not been easy to find comfortable, but attractive shoes. The arch supports that came with the shoes are pretty good, but if I have to be on my feet for long periods, I will probably switch out the insoles and replace with my custom orthotics (which fit perfectly). Extremely happy with these shoes!!

I really wanted to keep these, as they were very comfortable & just what I was hoping for. Because of the wet spring & lots of mud, I chose to return them as I didn’t think that they would clean very well (suede)...I DO recommend!

I was looking for a nice flat useful for casual special occasions and am very happy with the choice. I have arthritis and the shoe is quite comfortable for walking and standing. I really appreciate the good arch support and the roomy toe area. The straps are cleverly design and super handy -- make them just as taut as you'd like. Wonderful uppers with a super comfy sole. And Earth is a "give back" company. Very satisfied.

This shoe is very cute, and I can never find cute shoes that fit. They fit well with my full length arch supports. Very comfortable.

These are so cute and comfortable! I loved them immediately, but I didn't realize these were suede, which doesn't work for what I wanted them for. Bummer! No fault of the awesome shoes though.

I'm looking forward to dressing up or down with these shoes. I want them to last forever. They fit perfectly and feel heavenly.

Very cute and comfortable, true to size except that the heal area had too much wiggle room.

For low volume feet, it's probably a great shoe! I wear a wide, and although these don't come in a wide width, the toe area was wide enough for me. However, it was still too tight, as the top of the front part dug into my foot and squeezed a bit too much. If you have a high instep or high volume foot as I do, these probably won't work for you.

Show is beautiful and comfortable. Feels true to size. However, my ankle is too wide for this design. I'm returning because when I fasten shoe, half inch of Velcro shoes and buckle is almost at center of foot, looks too ackward for my taste. I REALLY wanted to love this shoe but I would feel uncomfortable with the way they look on me.

How does Earth Shoes do it? I have this exact same pair in black in the same size and the red ones were too small. Where's their quality control? I returned these shoes and won't reorder them.

Very cute shoes. Had to send them back as they were very narrow across the ball of my foot.

GORGEOUS shoes. Sassy styling. Beautiful color of RED. So dressy yet SO Comfortable!!! I was more than pleased, beyond any expectation. The fit is perfect! I wear medium but am just shy of filling it in fully in width, yet these shoes fit me perfectly, and great cushion under the feet, comfortable to walk in. I'm really looking forward to wearing them out. I just wish they HAD ALL COLORS!!!

These are the best shoes!

I should have ordered these years ago!

These shoes are comfortable from the get go. Love the wide toe box.

These shoes are great! I have a bunion on one foot and I like to walk a lot, so shoes that are wide and comfy enough to be on for some mileage are important. I've gotten so many compliments on these from folks of all ages. Would buy these many times over!

I got these in two colors, black and red. My first mistake was not spraying them with waterproofing. When I washed my hands and water splashed on the red shoes, it left water spots. I bought a suede-cleaner kit with spray and brushes and it cleaned off pretty well (if you look hard, you can still see one spot). My second mistake was taking the red shoes on a three day trip as my only shoes. I got blisters on my pinkie toes at the end of the first very long day. However, the next two days went fine, so I think the shoes loosened up a little. Despite the rubbing on the pinkie toes, the shoes are a bit wide at the arch of the foot. That part gaps open, especially mid-step, and in walking outdoors I kept getting bits of gravel down inside the shoes. Despite all that, I love the shoes because they are cute, sassy, look good with jeans and skirts, and have a comfortable foot bed. The velcro straps don't latch super tight, but I haven't had a problem with them coming undone. I wish the toe shape were not as childishly round, but the style still works.

I ordered multiple pairs of black ballet flats and Mary Janes. I was looking for something that had a soft lining that my feet wouldn’t sweat in all summer. These shoes are suede and while I normally wouldn’t look at that for summer, these have been great. No breaking-in period. I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes from strangers. They are stylish but comfortable.

Great! Cute and comfortable is a difficult combination for feet that have a few issues, (long second toe and bunions). They go perfectly with the dress I bought for a party and they look good with jeans!
