Customer Reviews Earth Kharma Kalso

Love this shoe, it is the third Earth shoe that I have, the first one in the 70th and I was so glad when I found out that they are available again. The negative heal feels great and I wonder if ALL Earth shoes have that feature. Too bad that the advertising does not mention that, it is the major reason I go for Earth shoes.

Love these shoes. For someone with a bad back, like me, these are great for wearing around the house instead of slippers that have no support.

I loved these shoes! They are such good quality, the lining is leather, the workmanship excellent. My problem was with a foot injury, making me unable to wear them because of the way the pressure hit the bad part of my foot. My normal foot, loved them and felt wonderful. Unfortunately, the "problem" foot won out and I was forced to return them. Just wanted to reassure others that the quality has evidently returned to the earth brand and they were also really cute on! I wear a 10, and the strap across the foot really cuts the visual length, so my foot didn't look so long!

These are nice. I found the 11 too big and so ordered a 10. I hope they fit better as I love Earth shoes -- i just found them last month and unfortunately many styles are sold out in the larger sizes--bummer. I hope they make more!! The width is perfect and I love the strap.

The toe bed in these shoes is extremely short, as in from top to bottom of shoe. My toes were extremely squished in. I would not recommend these unless you have very flat toes.

I wear an 11 1/2 so thought I would try a 12. They were way to long and wide.

These are beautiful shoes - but I wear an 11 and they are a full size smaller and size 12 is not available. Thank you Zappos for making it easy to find shoes that fit. Not sure about comfort of shoe, I gave it 4 because it looked like it would feel great.

I've worn these shoes for five years. I've literally broken down the support, ergo, need for the new ones. I would recommend anyone who has knee or hip problems to try them. They are wonderful and also helps alleviate my lower back pain.

If you are looking for a shoe that will: 1. provide a wide toe box 2. provide arch support 3. accommodate a wide but not "too wide" foot 4. provide flexibility to tighten or loosen with straps if needed then this is the shoe for you! I recently hurt my pinkie toe and was desperately searching for a shoe that wouldn't "rub" my pinkie toe...after owning no shoe that would work and returning about 20 shoes that didn't work, I found this shoe that does the trick. Order your "normal" size and give these I try. I have found my new favorite brand of shoe.

Darn that submit key for being in the wrong place. Sorry, Zappos. You are perfect in all other ways. As I was about to say, if you just tighten the bottom straps to keep the shoe on your foot, and leave the top straps loose, I think that will make a difference. Thank you, Zappos, for your free next day delivery and return, and quick replacement and refund policy. And for your excellent staff who are so very patient and helpful. ???

After three deliveries and two returns in 4 days, I finally have a much-needed pair or shoes. This third order, Earth Kharma Kalso, is not the same brand as two returns. This my first Earth shoe, and was si discouraged after the two returns of another brand that I was prepared for another return and a few rest days rest before starting up again. Not so! I love, love these shoes and could see even before putting them on my feet that this was the shoe. Wore them the rest of the day. These shoes are made for my thin foot. I am so happy, you don't even know unless you are as hard to fit with a foot that is not narrow but looks as if it is. These shoes do cause your toe box area to sweat a little so don't think about wearing with socks. Thin sox. If you wear thick socks, size up 1/2. I will soon order an 8 just for that reason. I saw a review where a strap had broken on each shoe. I think that must have be the top straps. I tightened the lower straps just enough to!

Zappos has great service. I mostly wear Kalso shoes due to foot problems. These ran a little large. I wear an 8.5-9. In these I went withe the 8.5 and thick socks. Very comfy and cute.

I am so happy with this shoe. It is a more fashionable alternative to Birkenstocks which I usually wear. This is my 2nd pair of Earth shoes.

The straps are weak. I am modifying my previous review because one of the straps broke after only a few days of wear. I can see the one on my right foot is also weak and will break. I am going to take them to a shoe repair store and see how well they can stitch the straps so they do not break. I hope it works because otherwise they feel just great.

So glad they brought the real Earth Shoe concept back in this shoe. I've had many foot operations and am only comfortable in shoes where the toe is not lower than the heel AND there is a roomy toe box. This is really hard to find. I bought several pairs of tennis shoes like that but this is the first pair of non-tennis shoes that I have found that I can wear. Finally I can wear skirts or outfits that only look good with something other than tennis shoes. I hope Earth shoes continues to make these and other shoes like them: big toe box and zero drop (or more ) heel. Thank goodness. I am getting several pairs.

I've wanted a pair of Earth shoes since I was in high school, but my mother wouldn't buy them. I can wear any size from 9 to 10, depending on the company & style. I bought these in a 9.5. They fit perfectly, which was surprising since I have wide feet & usually need a wide width. They're cute & comfortable, but the problem is they sound like flip-flops. The backs don't stay on my feet, they feel weird when I walk,like they're going to come off. To think I waited all these years & don't like them!

It's a nice fitting shoe, but I have wide fee. The toe box seemed a little tight and the midfoot region where the straps are is rather wide comparatively. I also need to add orthotics, in which case it would really be tight. The insert that comes with the shoe seems a bit flimsy, but the shoe itself if very well constructed. It looks a nice looking shoe, but I'm going with a different Earth Shoe style.

Returned, did not fit like other Earth shoes I have owned. The footbed was comfortable, the toebox was roomy, but the buckle area, even when adjusted didn't fit right and the straps seemed a bit flimsy for the price. Ended up chosing Keen Kaci.

Beware: These shoes are suede! I've worn Earth slides for years; they all were a smooth leather. These shoes scuff easily, but I polished them frequently and they continued to look nice. I don't know what will happen to these; I've only had them a few days. They also feel a little short, but not size down.

Very strange feeling to be walking on the heel of the foot. Toes are up in the air when standing

The reason I returned these shoes was the insole. It feels like suede whatever the material is and it makes hose, tights or socks bunch up, making it difficult to put on.
