Touted as being both stylish and comfortable, Earth shoes feature negative heel technology. This technology, credited to Danish Yoga teacher Anne Kalso, is said to promote natural walking that feels as if you are striding barefoot in the sand. Furthermore, Earth shoes are said to position your heels in such a way to provide for a natural and fatigue-relieving alignment of the body. Earth shoes are available in styles made for both men and women.

Earth shoes were first invented in the early 1970s. They were quite the opposite of traditional shoes of the day, featuring thick soles and thin heels. This style of shoe had the effect of causing the wearer to walk heel-down. They were original, unique, and stylish in a way that was far different from other shoes of that time.

The company responsible for creating these shoes is appropriately named Earth and is family-owned and operated. Earth voices a commitment to socially and environmentally responsible manufacturing. Earth shoes are available from a variety of retailers, as well as online.

Though running shoes were not a part of the original Earth shoe line, they have since been added to the company's lineup. Earth shoe fans can find a wide selection of stylish footwear from which to choose. For women, Earth shoes are available as sandals, casual shoes, and boots. The company also creates active and vegan shoes, as well as wide widths for women. For the men, Earth offers a range of unique sandals, active, vegan, and casual shoes.
