I just received these Earth boots and they feel so comfortable! They fit over my skinny jeans and look great! I just waterproofed them and will wear them asap. They arrived in a slouchy biodegradable bag within a box, but I wish they had stuffing support throughout the entire boot when they arrived. Overall five star boots for someone with a bad back, knee and hip.

I love the way these boots look. The gray is perfect & super versatile for leggings, bare legs, skinny jeans, etc, & the suede is gorgeous! Also, I love the fact that even though they have that slightly slouchy look, they actually stay up! The last slouchy boots I got were great...except that after walking in them for about 3 minutes the shaft always fell down & pooled at the mid-calves. These are great because they stay up perfectly, but if you want, you could still push them down if you want to get that scrunched look. The only thing I don't love about these boots is the arch support (which is a great thing for most!). I have super flat feet, and since these have such a prominent arch, it hurts a little after walking long distances. It's not too bad though after getting used to the feel, so don't let that scare you away. (I actually got mine on Amazon because Zappos did not have the grey in my size.

These shoes are very cute. They look chunkier on-line, but really nice in person. My only complaint is the shaft is a bit snug, I take a size 8 and the footbed is true to size for me, but maybe the leather just has to stretch out a bit (they are brand new). I hope they fit over jeans because they are a little too slouchy for under. Great buy for those with lots of skinny jeans and who wear tights often. Oh and super fast shipping with standard, free ship option - great service Zappos!

Very cute and well constructed. The leather was beautiful color and very soft and pliable. I was not so comfortable with the negative heel so sent them back for that reason.

I love these boots! I have wide feet, bunions and everything, and I live in NYC so I do a lot of walking, and these boots are working out great. They run a little big.

These are great boots. They do slouch, so if that isn't what you're interested in, they are not for you. The bottoms are a bit heavy, and overall they are a bit casual, but I love 'em.

I had to stretch out the toe box a bit with the wooden stretchers I got at target, but now they are so comfortable! And they make me feel trendy even though they don't have spike heels and are simultaneously stretching out my heel where I have terrible foot pain.

Love these boots. The comment about "toe" walking and "heel" walking is confusing! I walk heel first and wear only Kelso Earth shoes. Any other shoe promotes back pain.

Love these boots! I'm love my boots but was looking for an everyday boot that is a more mature than my chunky shearling boots. These fit the bill perfectly! I have plenty of foot problems and these are comfortable, supportive, stylish and they're supposed to burn calories. Could you ever ask for more? I'm an average 5'8" and a size 12. They fit me great around the calf allowing the option of pulling up to knee or slouching down to mid calf. Either way - I can't get enough! Literally...I have the black and am now ordering the beaver brown!

Some people said this ran small, so I initially got a 8.5 instead of 8, which is my usual size. I definitely needed the 8 with socks with normal to dress-sock thickness (my foot is about 9.75 in. long). The stiff foot form around the heel really helps it stay in place, and it's just right around the knuckles of my toes, and my big toe still has room to move around. It is very comfy, and if you tussle the leather from the original flap it comes with (along the leg), it will have a tendency to slump a bit when you're wearing it, but if you don't, they stay up well. Very comfortable, looks amazing with dresses, a little too big to wear under jeans. Great for ladies with athletic calves who don't enjoy tighter/zip-up boots.

Love the design of the gloves. Unfortunately, I have long slim fingers and the fingering on these gloves are a tad bit loose on me. I ordered a small and I should have ordered an xsmall instead. If you are leaning on a smaller size, I really recommend it!

I love these gloves, I got a large and it fits perfectly and I love the pattern on the outside of the glove and inside.

These gloves fit and look amazing. I don't spend any time at the park but had to have these for my regular boarding. However, the suede in the palm does get quite wet. Overall I am still warm and toasty with some liners, but this is a major downside for some people. I'm going to try spraying some waterproofing because otherwise these gloves are great!
