I have had trouble with my feet for all my life but it became a serious problem recently. I have high arches and some tendon issues. I work in hardwood flooring and needed something that would hold up to the job. Plus I could not afford [$] orthodics. These were the perfect solution. I have had no foot pain even after I take them off. Plus I noticed I am standing up straighter, and my back which I also have problems with is getting stronger and less painful.
I really like these sneakers !

These shoes do help with backache but the first few days they really bothered the insides of my feet ! I'm on my feet all day and my back and legs aren't near as tired as used to be. I also power walk and feel great afterwards when wearing these.
"Nice shoe and comfy too !"

With osteoarthritis in my back, I needed a sturdy, posture-correcting shoe. The Earth Energetic far exceeded my expectations! Unlike similar athletic shoes, it has a great arch support, lots of toe room, and is helping to strengthen my heels and calves as well as improve posture. I wouldn't buy any other shoe for walking and exercise!

The shoes have been great in supporting my feet and ankles. They are big and bulky. They become heavy when running

I am a huge Asics fan and always will be. I had read many positive reviews on the Earth Energetic and decided to step out of the Asics box and give them a try. This shoe is different than your typical athletic shoe, but I am very impressed. It has a negative heel and it really gives your entire legs a workout...I could feel all the muscles working...I was even sore the first day! What I really love about them is that my posture seems to have improved...the shoes appear to put your body in proper alignment, so you stand taller and straighter...it is practically impossible to hunch over in these shoes! The shoes do look wide on and they aren't the trendiest things out there, but looks aren't that important to me, as much as the comfort and how they are giving my legs a workout. They are comfortable for walking, running errands and cross training at the gym. I usually take a size 9 in athletic shoes and these are no exception. I would highly recommend these shoes and I am very glad I own a pair.

The shoes are very comfortable. After I bought them we went to San Diego and did a lot of sightseeing. My feet stayed very happy. I've had feet problems for years. neuropathy mainly radiating from my back. Any elevation in the heel incrases back pain and most of it radiates to my feet. Not so with the earth shoes. I love them. I own 3 pair of earth shoes now.
I did not like them at all!!!!

I would not buy them. I stand on my feet 8 hours a day and I need really good shoes. I wear adidas and those are the best for standing long period time. I wanted to try something different and I saw good ratings on these shoes so I tried but they were terrible...

I wear them to work, I wear them to workout.
They are so comfortable, I used to have lower backaches, but no more, these shoes are the greatest. I wish I would've found them years ago.
I don't have anything bad to say about them. I LOVE THEM!!!
