Extra! Extra! Earth Shoes Have Returned!

Those of you around in the 1970s will immediately recognize Earth Shoes as being synonymous with comfort. After a 25-year hiatus, Earth has brought their patented Negative Heel Technology back on the market. The shoe is made exactly the same way as it was in the ’70s with the addition of shock-absorbing Gelron2000 comfort technology in the sole. These comfortable man’s shoes are indeed, a treat for the feet.

As you may gather from the name, Earth is a very environmentally and socially conscious company. They go to great lengths to ensure that their shoe factories in China are on par with their American counterparts and the men and women employed there enjoy a quality of life above the Asian standard.

What’s Happened Since the 70s?

Earth has updated its designs since the `70s and now offers full lines of comfortable business and casual shoes, including running shoes. These shoes are made using only the highest quality leathers. Sandals and clogs are the original Earth product and there are plenty of shoes to choose from. Earth also offers a unique vegan line of men’s footwear. The vegan shoes are made with only the highest quality Japanese micro-fibre, which mimics the look and feel of leather. As expected, the standard Earth comfort is not compromised.

Although Earth offers a variety of current men’s styles, the emphasis is clearly on comfort and fit over cutting edge fashion. The Negative Heel Technology places the heel lower than the toes, which facilitates the proper alignment of neck, shoulders, hips and ankles. This is great news for men with chronic back problems, muscle aches and those that have to stand for long periods of time.

The company’s website is positively overrun with testimonials of reduced or vanishing muscle pain as a result of wearing a pair of Earth shoes. In light of these endorsements, comfortable seems a bit of understatement.
