I LOVE these shoes. I was having foot pain after running a half marathon. The only shoes that felt good to wear were my Earth sandals, but it was still winter. I ordered these hoping they'd do the trick. They felt good as soon as I put them on.

Love the shoes! Comfortable right out of the box. I haven't had a shoe feel this good in years!

Bought these just a few days before a trip to Disney World. Just like other reviewers have said, there was no break-in time needed. I wore them everyday for a week straight, on my feet from morning to night. Very comfortable! My feet were not sore at all. They run a little wide, which was perfect for my feet (I usually alternate between regular & wide-width shoes). Absolute only "issue" was that I am rather short anyway, and with the lower heel I find myself walking on the hem of my jeans sometimes. But...that's more of a problem with my clothes, not the shoes!

This is my first pair of Earth shoes, and I do like the fit. There’s generous space across the toes without the super-wide "duck shoe" look, and so they’re quite comfortable on top of being cute. Score! I have run across one quirk -- the sole is very thin in the heel area and since that’s where your foot strikes the ground first as you walk (at least mine does), my heels feel a little sore after walking any distance in them. I don’t know if this thinness is common to all Earth shoes or just this style, or if a person’s foot toughens up after wearing these for a while, but I would hesitate to wear these right now if I knew I would be doing a ton of walking. Overall, though, I do like these shoes and will probably try another pair of Earth shoes in the future.

I love these shoes. B width is normally a little wide for me, but since I wear orthotics, they take up the slack. The length is perfect. I've recommended the Earth brand shoes to a couple of friends who are having heel pain problems.

VERY comfortable shoe! Not gorgeous, but hip in an urban sort of way, and feels so good I wear them all the time. Love the Earth negative heel- can be on my feet for hours without tiring my back, and the ample toe box looks smaller than it feels. Ran true to size. And thank you Zappos for always having such great customer service!

These are my second pair of Earth sneakers--I chose them because of the negative heel feature. I work out at the gym in them every day. They are extremely comfortable. I like that they are good for my posture and help burn calories while I'm working out.

I really like these shoes! They are wide enough in the toe box to keep from rubbing my bunion without being clown-ish looking. The negative seems to make me stand straighter, and for those of us with plantar fasciitis, it forces a good calf stretch. Comfortable and cute!

From the moment I put these shoes on they were incredibly comfortable. I am able to wear these shoes all day and still do not have discomfort or tiredness from my feet. I do a good deal of walking with my dog and have noticed new toning near the knee, making my legs more shapely. Fit true to size.

I love these shoes. In my opinion they are true to size. I usually wear an 8.5, ordered an 8.5 and they fit great. Love the extra toe room and they look really attractive on. Received next day, Zappos is awesome!

Of all the shoes I own, which is considerable, these by far are my favorite and wish they came in different colors in my size. I wear a size 11 and it fits perfect. No break in period and I can wear them all day without my feet suffering by the end of the day. I have bad feet and my back isn't great either and these have definitely helped. Zappos, as always, the only way to shop for shoes. Thank you!

My first Earth shoes and they won't be my last! Friends have suggested Earth shoes to me for years, and I've finally tried them. Bottom line: Believe the hype! They're as good as all of the other reviews say. I've had Earth "Premier" for one week. The first day I got them (within one business day of ordering them; thanks again, Zappos!), I had just walked home from work in my athletic walking shoes. I took off my walking shoes and put these on. My plantar fasciitis quit hurting. I love the arch support, I love the negative heel technology, and I love the roominess of the toe box. I wear a 9 1/2 and the shoe is true to size.

These shoes are instantly comfortable. They don\'t have that orthopaedic/granola look to them, but they are built to be good for one\'s feet. The toe box is wide enough to allow for toe wiggling, but it doesn\'t have that duck bill look. The sides are supportive, but not too high. The negative heel really does help to keep one\'s posture aligned correctly. I have metatarsalgia, and I can wear these shoes all day, walking on pavement or uneven surfaces, and be comfortable at end of day.

First I have to say I love Zappos and their customer service is amazing. I love these shoes. They took some time getting used to because of the different styled insert, but then they were great. I wear them almost every day because I need a tennis shoe type shoe for work. They are almost perfect.

First and foremost, Zappos is great. It makes shopping so much less stressful knowing I am not going to pay return shipping (any shipping for that matter), I am more likely to purchase from Zappos. In regards to the Earth shoe Premier, or any of the Earth shoes I've purchased: they are great! I especially like to wear them when I know I am going to do a lot of walking (airports, errands, Black Friday Shopping, etc.); they are comfortable, stylish and the added bonus, I lose weight when I walk in these shoes (and cool boots). Plus free shipping/returns, shoe shoppers paradise! I now have 5 pairs of Premiers, and 4 pairs of boots! Zappos on!

I went by Zappos sizing chart and had to send the first pair back for a 1/2 size bigger. Just order what size you usually do - these are SO comfortable! And give your legs a good workout. Like walking barefoot without worrying about what you step on.

Immediately comfortable, can walk all day. I already owned a pair of Earth boots but wanted something sportier. Also wear Dansko clogs and Keens; both have good arch support, but not too much cushion. Always disappointed in Pumas; great look, zero arch support. These were comfortable right out of the box! Normally have foot/heel pain when I first get up, but my feet haven't been hurting since I've been wearing these! Perfect for my little (7.5), wide feet! Highly recommend if you suffer from plantar fasciitis!! As always, love Zappos great service and huge selection.

Love these. I will never buy a "conventional" pair of tennies again. These are super comfortable, true to fit, lightweight yet well made and look very fashionable. Recommend these shoes for anyone wanting the comfort of a tennis shoe, but style, style, style.

I bought these shoes for my mother who suffers from arthritis and has to walk a lot because she does not own a car. She loves these shoes. She told me her feet don't feel tired anymore and they are also easy on her bad knee. Because she liked them so much, I decided to get a pair of Earth shoes for myself and I'm also buying another pair for my dad who is on his feet all day at work.

The funky insole is unusual at first, but I quickly got used to it. The shoe size is accurate, but because of the insole being thicker around the ball/toe area, I had to wear relatively thin socks (or no socks). As a backup for longer walks, I bought some "normal" insoles from REI (or you can find them here on Zappos). I interchange them depending on my mood, and I absolutely love this sneaker! I have it in the Ash grey, and they were so comfortable from the get-go that it required no break in period, even with the funky insole.

I had previously owned Earth Racers. Thought they looked cool enough for a negative heel shoe, but never wore them for long due to their heavy feel, and too-tight shallow elastic vamps. Well, the Earth Premier is definitely a new generation of Earth shoes. So unbelievably lightweight, with buttery soft leather, they're comfy right out of the box. No break-in period. A clever way to get me to wear negative heel shoes all day long. I ordered a half size larger than I'd had in the Earth Racers, and they're perfect. Love the grey color. Well done, Earth.

My last pair of 'tennis shoes' was purchased about seven years ago so it was time to get another pair and when I saw the picture of these, I knew they were the ones! Something I read said they 'run small' so instead of an 8 I ordered and 8 1/2. It is too long, but I already wore them so will not return them. They do look a lot cuter in the picture than they do on my old feet! But so does everything else! The toe is built wide and there is no tightening the laces to make it smaller. I was after the now becoming famous "negative heel" and was glad to finally get shoes with that. I wore them to the casino and didn't get tired of walking at all, even though they didn't help my luck! I got the gray, called some kind of 'buff' (whatever happened to just staying basic with color names?).

These shoes were very comfortable! I own a pair of Earth sandals as well and I will continue to purchase from them. Before I purchased these shoes and the sandals, I could not walk for an hour before my feet and my lower back began to hurt. Now I can walk for hours on end before my back or my feet began to even feel slight pain. I would definitely recommend this brand.

I purchased these shoes because of foot pain behind my middle toes. They are absolutely great and my foot pain is almost gone. I ordered a half size larger to allow for socks. I reach for a pair of earth shoes every morning and even use the sandles as slippers at night. I plan on purchasing more earth shoes this fall.
