Earth Shoe Store

In the 1970s, Earth shoes were hugely popular, and their Negative Heel® technology scored legions of fans. Unfortunately for the style-conscious of the time, the selection was limited to a somewhat-dowdy tan lace-up shoe.

A lot has changed. Earth shoes still tout Negative Heel® technology, but now there are a variety of colors, styles and materials to choose from. Check out my top picks for women below, or have a peek at my top picks in Men’s Earth Shoes — the range of styles may surprise you.

 

1. Vegan Earth Shoes - “Cabo” Sandals
With nylon uppers, and ergonomic footbeds, these sandals come in more colors and patterns than I could possibly list here. But there’s certainly something to please anyone that’s looking for a sporty, comfy, cruelty-free sandal.

2. “Summit” - Mukluk-Inspired Earth Boots
I’ll say it as simply as I can: I love these boots! With mukluk-style collars of faux fleece and nubuck uppers, these tall casual boots make me long to live in a place that’s always cold. And as cute as they are, they’re also practical, featuring lug soles that provide added traction for wet or snowy conditions. Available in a plethora of great colors, the birch and the white versions are my hands-down favorites.

3. earth shoes “Allure” - Suede Mary Janes
I’m a sucker for mary janes and for suede, so this pick was just too easy. These cute shoes feature smooth leather accents, and come in a wide array of colors, including two shades of red and a dark green that’s irresistible for fall.

4. Earth Shoes - “Mirage2″ Trendy Urban High Tops
The adorable “Earth” boots with faux fur trim are perfectly cozy for winter. With wrap around lace to prevent slouch, the “Mirage2″ also features a latex outsole. Available in black or brown with each giving a distinctively different look.

5. “Ziggy” Funky Lace-Up Earth Shoes
While it would probably never occur to me to name a shoe Ziggy, the name is really a perfect fit for these funky oxfords. Available with suede or leather uppers, these casual shoes look like a cross between sneakers and hikers.
