I love these shoes. I had worn earth shoes back in the 70's and loved them then. I had to wear braces on my feet and ankles when I was a kid and then as I got older I went into corrective shoes. I have always been very careful about the shoes I buy because my ankles can still give me problems at times. I have a high arch and usually wear custom made orthotics in my running and walking shoes, but with these I don't have to. The fit is perfect, very roomy toe box, narrows to snug(not tight) fit at the heel. I have two large dogs and they need a lot of exercise so I walk between 4 and 6 miles every day. I have been wearing these shoes for about two months now and when they wear out I will be back to buy another pair. Thank you Earth.

These shoes met all of my expectations. They are extremely comfortable with a lot of cushion and support. As well, they work different muscles than a basic walking/running shoe. The look is attractive and the shoe laces are long!

I love this shoe! I have a bunion on my left foot and need a shoe with a roomy toe box. I also find the negative heel and excellent arch support takes the pressure off of that joint. This shoe is also nice and cool in warm weather. I can feel the air flow through the fabric. If it wasn't for this shoe I'd have a lot more trouble walking.

I love these sneakers! They are light and very comfortable from the first time I put them on. I have a bad back and Earth shoes really help with the pain. The sizing was true and I always receive my shipments quickly.

These shoes were comfy right out of the box! Yes, they do look a little bit like "martian shoes" (as a friend tells me), but I wear them at work and walking to and from work, so I don't mind. On flat surfaces, they're easy to wear, but going up hills you can definitely feel them working your legs. A note on Zappos and their customer service: The first pair I bought developed an annoying squeak in one of the shoes after a few days. I contacted Zappos and another brand new pair was shipped out a few hours later. Best customer service ever!

Love these shoes! I ordered a 1/2 size larger and they are too roomy, but so comfortable I kept them. I would have reordered 1/2 size smaller, but the size was not in stock. Even being a little too roomy they are super comfortable and have excellent support!

Great shoes! I must admit, these shoes felt strange the first couple times I wore them. I wore them around the house and couldn't stand them for more than an hour at a time. By the 3rd time I tried them, however, I didn't want to take them off. I'm glad I waited to get used to the shoes before I decided to return them because they are comfortable and they do help my posture. Great shoes and, as always, outstanding service from Zappos!

I stand a lot and do a lot of walking with my job in health care. I have been having trouble finding the right shoes to provide all day comfort. I gave these a chance and love them. I am looking to order more.

I used to wear earth shoes back in the seventies, and never tknew they were available again until I found them on your site. These shoes actually help to correct posture and give your legs a workout like the new trendy flip flpos, but the bonus with these earth shoes is that they do not creat extra pain if you have flat feet, unlike the new trendy ones. These are about the most comfortable shoe I have found to wear, and would love to see them come back in the same style in suede as they were in the past. You will not be disappointed in these shoes! Do note, they are not like typical sneakers, but once you are used to them, you will not want to take them off.

I do not like these shoes at all. The Achilles Notch is very low, so constantly pulls down the back of my socks. Additionally, the shape is odd so it appears you are wearing barges on your feet; needless to say, very unattractive. These are being returned, and quickly. As usual, awesome customer service from Zappos, thank you!

These shoes are the best, after a year of suffering from heel spurs I will only wear earth shoes,these are my second pair of kinetics, I also have exer-trainer I think kinetic has a little more support than exer-trainer, for me all athletic style earth shoes run about 1/2 size big, Zappos is absolutely fantastic to deal with, easy ordering, and easy return process, I received my shoes less than 24hrs after ordering, will highly recommend Zappos to everyone I know.

I wear those shoes every day. They are very comfortable and they help me to correct my posture. The negative heel is very nice. I can feel the pull on my legs when I am walking.

I love Earth brand shoes! I've been a repeat buyer for 4 years, and will continue to be loyal to them. I use the Kinetic Vegan as a work and exercise shoe, and with work having me on my feet for 9 hours a day, it's these shoes that help keep my feet, knees and lower back from hurting. Please note the white areas are made of a mesh-style fabric that makes them breezy feeling, which I find that to be great for every time of the year with exception for the winter.

These shoes are very comfortable even if you're on your feet all day long! They are quite roomy in the toe area, which can be good for those with wide feet. Yes, you do have to get used to the slight feeling of being tipped backward, but you don't notice it after awhile. I won't wear anything but Earth Shoes.

These are great sneakers! Very comfortable. I ordered my usual size 8.5 and they fit well. The fact that they are vegan is wonderful! I believe that all shoes, in fact not just shoes, but everything should be vegan! If you are considering these shoes, go for it, you cant go wrong.

I ordered the size 10 and it was too short - and Zappos exchanged it right away and it was very efficient.

This shoe was recommended by my physician. I have an extremely high arch, tailor bunions and several other issues. This particular shoe is so comfortable and definitely helps my pain.

I had a pair of Earth shoes as a kid. Even though Mom originally bought them because they were a better fit for my oddly shaped feet and helped improve my posture, they were my favorite shoes. I wore them OUT and eventually Mom threw them away while I was sleeping. I was thrilled to find Earth shoes available again. They're just as comfortable as I remember.

I've walked and run all over town in these since buying them over a year ago. This is my first pair of Earth running shoes and I found the negative heel quite comfy not just for walking (which I am used to) but also for running. Other pluses: They are lightweight and vegan. This pair has really held its looks after 1.5 years, with a little wear to the heel-pads.

This is a great shoe! I cannot believe how much better my posture is when I am wearing them. Wow. Because of the negative heel angle, I am standing taller with my shoulders back, breathing fuller. I am really impressed. I stand on my feet for about 8-10 hours a day and after two days now, my calves are a little bit ache, but I don't mind because my posture is so much better! Plus, I love that these are vegan. I am super happy about this purchase.
