The best shoe I have ever owned, December 30, 2007
After 49 years, I finally have a pair of shoes that convinced me to go out and buy another pair like them (but in a different color) and buy more shoes of that brand. I will not buy another pair of shoes that are not Earth shoes! I have a swollen nerve in one foot that prevents me from wearing high heels or any shoe that has a narrow toe box. The Earth shoes all have wide toe boxes that do not squeeze my toes. The Earth shoes are made with the heel lower than the toes which gives your calves a nice workout, but it also allows for a much more natural walking gait (like you are barefoot on soft dirt or sand). I can now walk and stand for hours without my feet hurting! I also have fairly high arches that receive good support in the Earth shoes. I have bought my daughter the same shoe as well as some Earth winter boots. She has also loved these shoes.

Best Shoes, February 24, 2008
This review is from: Earth Lazer Walking Shoe Womens (Apparel)
These shoes are the most comfortable shoe I've owned. I have bone spurs in my heels, plantar fasciitis, and am overweight, and these shoes make me feel lighter and without so much pain, like I am wearing comfortable slippers, except with support. I will definitely buy more.

Foot pain solution - Lazers yes - Rockets no, February 6, 2008
This review is from: Earth Lazer Walking Shoe Womens (Apparel)
I tried these Lazers to see if they might put an end to my foot pain - in the joint or "ball" of my right big toe - which had been negatively affecting the joy I get from walking. Well they did the trick, in them I am able to do four or five 5-mile walks every week on varied terrain, pain-free. I began to wonder if the results were because of the lowered heel or because of the total flexibility and softness of the shoe and since the Lazers do have a fairly thin sole allowing some pressure to transmit through on rocky/gravelly surfaces I thought I'd give the Rockets a try. The Rockets Women's Earth Rocket are like a typical athletic shoe (but with the Kalso design) so the sole is thicker and the whole shoe is just sturdier and more supportive than the Lazer. But alas my pain returned with the Rockets so now I'm going to buy a couple more pairs of Lazers and stick with them. I'd way rather feel a rock or two underfoot than have that incessant toe pain any day. So I conclude that my problem was solved not necessarily by a lowered heel but rather by a softer and more flexible shoe. You may wonder why I don't buy a less expensive soft and flexible shoe if that's all I'm in need of and I wondered the same but decided that the wide shape in the front area of the Earth was of significant value and also, I think that the lowered heel very likely prevents over-pronation which I have a tendency to do.
