Excellent shoes. I work in commission sales, and I spend a lot of hours on my feet. I was having trouble with fatigue, lower back pain, and starting to have problems with foot pain. A friend suggested I try out Earth Shoes, and these shoes seem to have done the trick. I won't wear anything else now. They felt a little strange at first, with the negative heel concept, but once I got used to them, my old shoes didn't feel right anymore. They've alleviated most of the problems I was having, in short, because its unnatural to stand with your heels elevated. Your weight should rest on the arch , not on the toes or heels, and Earth Shoes have the best arch support of any shoes I've ever had. I'm not experiencing pain or fatigue anymore at work, or anywhere else, since I tried these. I have noticed that it takes a little time to break them in, but once that occurs, they are incredibly comfortable. I now own several pairs, and I highly recommend them to anyone experiencing heel pain, fatigue or lower back problems. I wear size 8, and many reviewers stated that you would need a half-size up or down, but these fit me perfectly.
