Earth Footwear, comfortable yet stylish heels

//  by

I remember being in highschool, having to many shoes to fit on the floor of my closet.

I kinda had a thing for shoes.

But then real life happened, the bills needed to be paid which didn’t help, but the biggest issue was I was on my feet. All. Day. Long.

And my normal shoes hurt my feet, as did the many pairs I tried to buy to fix the problem. But it was difficult to find a nice looking pair of shoes that were comfortable.

I worked as a Customer Service Rep at a bank and rarely ever got to sit down. Then I worked as a Head Cashier at one of our local universities where I was also on my feet and walking quite a bit. (Actually, I got to sit down a lot more at that job, but let’s not tell, mmkay? They paid me a lot more so let’s pretend I worked harder.)

And to be honest? I got cheap.

But the cheap shoes I was buying were horribly uncomfortable and ended up falling apart on me. Or squeaking.

And y’all know what a dufus you feel like when you walk around a quiet office with squeaky shoes.

So the last few years I’ve been changing the way I buy my shoes. I buy for quality now, which actually saves me money in the long run, and I also seek out better companies.

Which is why when I was asked at Blissdom this last year if I wanted to review and giveaway a pair of Earth Footwear shoes, a line from Earth Brand, I jumped at the chance!

Aren’t they gorgeous?

I went back and forth on which shoes I wanted to try, something with a heel? Some flats for summer?

I ended up with a high heel shoe, the Banyan, because I have never found one to be comfortable. And I figured that if this company could make a comfy heel, I could be certain that the others were just as fabulous.

Folks, you know I wouldn’t lie to you right?

I love these shoes.

They are actually easy to walk in (which surprised me since I don’t normally wear heels. And when I do I feel like Miss. Klutzy). And comfortable!

I’ve worn them to church a few times, even with a crappy, peeling off pedicure, just because they were so gorgeous I didn’t care what my toes looked like. And I wore them out and about, running errands all day. That my friends led to a bit of soreness.

But nothing that is out of the ordinary when wearing brand new shoes. Especially when your feet are used to winter socks.

I’m an Earth Footwear convert and may just pick up a pair of the negative heel shoes from the Earth Brand Kalso line for this summer as well.

    I would have to choose the Penchant, as I have been looking for something in this style, with no success. It looks perfect!

  8. Elizabeth S.

    After four foot surgeries on one foot, I also buy for comfort now! These look great!

  11. Cee

    It is difficult to choose, so I like the Eminent, the Rally, the Solar Too, the Diablo, the Carling & the Rebel!

  18. Foxmom

    I really like The Innovate Too in taupe. Pretty and open without being just a strappy sandal

  19. andrea

    I have the squeaky shoes…. a nearly 4 year old pair of danskos! These look very comfortable

  20. andrea

    I like the Solar Too in gray. I love all of the sandals too, but closed toes are a must for work.

  21. Taryn

    I went to the site and i thing i would get some negative heeled boot- that would be awesome;

  22. suburban prep

    You need a good shoe to be comfortable. If your feet aren’t happy then you aren’t happy.

  28. Lori G.

    I’d love to try these out. I get blisters on my feet, its a hereditary thing. The only shoes I can wear are Birkenstocks, Arizona style, or good running shoes only in the winter.

  29. Lori G.

    I’d love to try “The Fawn”, this looks like something I could wear and not be miserable!

  31. Kaila

    My favorites are the nexus and the wellspring. They both look like something I’d wear and be comfortable in!

  36. Manda P

    I love the negative heel shoes, bought a pair of loafers a few months ago and I can’t believe how comfortable they are! My toes don’t hurt in shoes anymore.

  40. ashlye

    I love your blog! I cannot tell you how many times I recommend your site to my friends, family, neighbors, etc! Thanks for the giveaway!!!

  41. ashlye

    I like the “PENCHANT” as a vacation shoe, the “SOLAR” as a dressy shoe, the “BALSAM” for spring and summer and the “CLOVE” for summer. I am a Dansko fan, but would really love to have the opportunity to try these cute shoes. Thanks again for the giveaway!!!

  61. Erin

    I’ve heard for years from my Mama how Earth Shoes with the negative heel were her favorites! I’d love to give them a try.

  66. Susan b

    I might have to go out and buy some of these shoes. They look good and I’m looking for something to wear to weddings and dressier occasions. My 10 year old heels just aren’t cutting it. I like the following:
    carmona in black
    ensanada
    domingo
    penchant
    exquisite and
    wisteria

  71. Tamara

    Found it! Love, love the cutout on the Balsam. Red and black are great, but Sand would be my go to neutral.

  78. Julie R

    They sound so nice. I love finding comfortable shoes that look good & these sound like they’d be great.

  82. Kendra

    I love earth shoes and have 2 pairs, a sally jane negative heal and a winter boot negative heal. It helps my lower back from hurting when walking around doing errands. LOVE LOVE LOVE them.

  85. Elizabeth

    Also, my favorite is the Cabo San Lucas 2…or the Empire. I think they’d be so great!

  89. Serena

    I like a lot of their shoes, but since we’re heading into Summer, I’ll say my favorite right now is the Enlighten Sandal.

  93. Sarah B

    I’d love to win this giveaway. Those shoes are gorgeous! I have issues with shoes, too! It’s so hard for me to find comfortable flats that I like!

  100. ~Misty

    Went to their website and found many styles I liked, especially Wisteria, but was a little disappointed that they are manufactured in China;( Would still love to try out a pair and see if they are worth their expense.

  110. MrsRobinett

    Oh – I need some pretty new shoes something fierce! This gal needs something to help her out of the new mom frump slump like nothing else!

  111. MrsRobinett

    I can’t decide between the Ensenada and the Carmona in putty. I think they’d look great with a dress, shorts or capris. I might just sway to the Carmona though – very hip.

  113. MrsRobinett

    I’ve like NKU on Facebook a long time ago….and still do. We wouldn’t have our gorgeous little boy without the Natural Fertility Course!!

  116. Michelle

    This is a wonderful giveaway! I am right there with you in now investing in shoes. My first huge to me investment was in a pair of Vibram FiveFingers. I don’t care how funny they look, but they are awesome! Now that I’m in love with comfort, I have been searching for some good “cute” shoes. I think “The Solar Too” could definitely fit my needs. Could work with a dress if it must and definitely with jeans or khakis. Thanks again for a wonderful opportunity. I’m bookmarking their site!

  127. Eleanor Triplett

    The Clove is my favorite! In Alpaca. Also, I love these shoes. I love the names and the colors.

  128. Gladys

    Hey, thanks for offering this giveaway. Your advice has helped me a lot in figuring out my approach to optimum fertility. Nice work!

  131. Barb K

    I like the Solar In Almond Leather. Looks like a very good shoe. Also looks like it would be very comfortable.

  147. rachel v.

    OH I so need this! I have HUGE feet! (they seem to grow with each kid I have, 5 so far)
    It is almost near impossible to find cute shoe for gigantic feet that look cute.

  153. Sandy

    Had a pair of earth shoes back in the late 60’s….so nice to see all the nice styles nowdays. Went on the site (and also liked them on Facebook). I would pick the Balsam or Safron. Looking for a comfortable pair of shoes to wear to work. These are exactly what I need.
    Thanks for the contest

  159. Angela A

    I love the Camellia sandal! So cool and comfy looking.

    I follow on facebook (angela akinniyi)

  161. Michelle

    Not sure if these count, but the CABO SAN LUCAS 2 is my favorite flip flop ever. It offers great support for all day wear in the summer and looks rather cute. Other favorites were: the beautiful “Prance” riding boot in almond leather and the classic high heal “Ensenada” in black.

  162. Michelle

    As others have mentioned, I’d love a free pair of Earth shoes! I love the quality and comfort this brand provides.

  170. Kelsey

    I definitely want their “Penchant” shoe from the Kalso line. Exactly what I’ve been looking for for this summer!

  171. world_runner

    I like the rosetta or the saffron. Very cool shoes. I have never heard of this company.

  175. Lindsay

    I liked Earth footwear of FB (Lindsay Maki). I also spent even more time on the Earth site, and found even more options to love! If summer wasn’t around the corner I’d want the Talera and Mareesa from the Earthies section. Maybe it’s good that I’d wear them a few months from now, so I have time to save up!

  177. Lindsay

    I shared it on FB to all my friends, and if I can remember my twitter password I’ll tweet about it too! I don’t want anyone to miss out on free comfy shoes!

  178. Lindsay

    Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway and introducing me to this new line! I am seriously gonna start saving for some fall/winter shoes!

  180. Courtney

    I love the Rosettas! Great giveaway! 🙂

    I’ve also liked you on FB and liked Earth Shoes.

  183. Heather Spooner

    What a great giveaway! I’m always looking for a great pair of sandals.

  187. heather brandt

    I’d love to try these b/c I always have trouble finding comfortable, cute shoes that don’t break the bankh!

  194. Jen

    Yay! I’ve been really wanting to get some negative heel shoes! The Rhapsody look amazing. I would wear them every day!

  198. Brooke

    I LOVE the Jacinta….as a competitive athlete for years, I’ve had chronic foot issues and am always looking for stylish shoes that are healthy for your feet too. The selection is very limited. Thanks so much for sharing information on these 🙂

  201. Kylie

    I’m really having a hard time deciding which is my favorite – but I think the Camellia wins. 🙂

  207. Cassandra

    My feet grew with each pregnancy! I find myself pregnant and in need of some good shoes.

  210. Cassandra

    I’ve been a fan of NKU on FB for awhile now! You really got me through some rough times when we were struggling with infertility.

  228. Carrie McDowell

    This post could not have come at a better time!!! This past Friday I had the honor of listening to the Preaident’s speech at Fort Stewart in person. My first dilemma was trying to figure out what to wear, knowing it would be a hot & sunny day. Secondly, I figured there would be a lot if walking involved, so I chose what I thought was my best pair of dress shoes for the event.

    The shoes were bought at a local outlet store for dirt cheap and I was commending my bargain shopping skills as I prepared for this exciting day. Well, after standing in the shoes for four hours, the right heel decided to break down and became super-squishy. It literally felt like I had busted an airbag within the shoe. It made the 1-mile walk back to the car nearly impossible and you can bet that I was no longer praising my bargain shopping skills. I have resolved to purchase quality, but have not known where to start. Thank you for providing me with a starting line!!!

  235. Katie Brooks

    I hear you about being the girl with the squeaky shoes at the office! Comfortable shoes are a must for me!

  236. susan

    Love love love Earth Footwear! I haven’t been able to own a pair yet but would love to have them on my feet.

  238. chris

    I am a shoe fan. I work for the police dept and work in uniform, but I have a bun in the oven and no longer fin in my uniform. I get to dress in cute prego clothes and have searching for the perfect pair of shoes. Your post have sold me. Thanks for another great suggestion!

  246. Amanda Hightower

    Would really like to try these shoes as good & pretty shoes are hard to find esp in my size(10-11).

    Thank you for doing this 🙂

  261. Alexis Ham

    I have just been diagnosed with a joint condition, that makes my feet hurt miserably, I would love to win a pair of good quality supportive shoes for the summer. those are beautiful too!!

  265. Dani

    ooh, I have seriously BAD feet–I can’t even stand in my kitchen for 10 minutes in my bare feet, or I feel like a cripple for the rest of the day. I would LOVE to get some of these shoes–and am definitely putting them on my “wish” list, whether I win or not. As I work in an office environment, I can justify having one brown and one black… right?

  266. Dani

    Oh, and I think I would start with the “solar” in black. My Dansko’s are completely worn out, as I’ve had them for seven years!
