By Sock Master from Chicago on 11/14/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Secure fit Sizing: Feels half size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm typically a 9 but went with 8.5 on these. I'm wearing them to referee wrestling so we'll see how they hold up. Right now they feel fantastic with great support and I really like the positive effects of the negative heel.

Have had problems in past with Achilles tendons shortened by regular positive heeled shoes.
Earth shoes leave the Achilles at its natural length. Therefore, it is not shocked when subsequently stressed by sports like running, surfing, and snowboarding.
No calf or Achilles problems since I started wearing these Earth shoes on a regular basis.

Comfortable Shoes for plantar fasciitis By wvteddy from WV on 09/15/2009 Best Uses: Casual Wear, Work Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes were comfortable to me out of the box, but if you are no used to the negative heel, they may take getting used to. The arch support if pronounced. I wore them to work(on my feet 12 hours) with no problem. These are men's shoes size 7 which fit my female size 8 1/2 to 9 feet just fine and do not look too clunky with jeans.

Causes a "hot spot" (rubs) my big toe By Mountain Man Dave from Colorado Springs, CO on 09/09/2009 Pros: Breathes Well, Durable Cons: Causes Hotspots or Blisters Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel, Work Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I use these "earth shoes" for long walks (2-3 miles); I do like the Kelso Negative Heel and the rolling motion while walking. However, the shoe has a standard toe box which causes hot spots when walking. The orginal "earth shoes" from the 70s had a toe box which follow the contours of your toes which made for a very comfortable shoe. I wish the "earth shoes" sold today had that feature.
By Ingmar53 from Wasgington, DC on 09/08/2009 Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have been curious about Earth shoes, but feared they were a 70s trend whose time had come and gone. But having a problem with plantar fasciitis, I decided to give them a try, first with these casual shoes which I could use to continue my city walking schedule. After a brief break-in period, I could not be more satisfied. I am walking regularly again, and the negative-heel design is having a positive impact on the plantar fasciitis. I have just ordered a dressier pair of Earth shoes, and will likely make this brand my shoes of choice for all occasions. NOTE: I usually wear a 12, but ordered an 11 1/2 based on some recommendations I had seen that Earth shoes run large, and the smaller size fits perfectly
