What makes Earth® footwear different?

The primary point of difference with Earth Footwear is Kalso Negitive Heel® Technology™. Its unique design actually postions one's toes higher than their heels. The incline is slight - 3.7 degrees - but the significant benefit is that Kalso Negitive Heel® Technology™ helps to shift your weight back over your heels, and moves you intoa more natural, empowered, postion. Walking and standing becomes more anatomically correct, and more efficent, unlocking an array of whole body benefits including better leg and calf toning, tighter thighs, firmer stomach muscles, straighter posture, and better breathing.

How long does it take to get adjusted to Kalso® Negative Heel Technology™?

Like most any new experience for the body, periods of adjustment can vary from individual to individual. Most people adapt right a way. For those who may have a pre-existing foot condition, or who wear high heels, the transition can take a bit longer, and can involve some minor discomfort. In these cases, we recommend that the individual consult a medical professional so the adjustment to a neutral foot and body position can precede their shoe selection. A series of exercises can complement the transition to Earth Footwear so the foot and body are able to properly welcome the whole-body benefits of the footwear from a sound foundation.

What is Gelron2000®? Does all Earth footwear have it?

Gelron2000® is a memory gel located in the footbed of most Earth shoes. In concert with Kalso® Negative Heel Technology™, and an anatomically-optimized arch, the technology in Earth Footwear is designed to offer the consumer a complete 'health and wellness' experience. Over time, many consumers remark that the Gelron2000® gel will form to the shape of their feet, offering a more customized and supportive fit throughout the life of the shoe.
