Apparently the brand is doing pretty well; [Zappos.com](http://Zappos.com) carries 499:eek: different styles.

I wore them for a good while today while walking the mall, and they were pretty comfortable. We’ll see how I feel about them tomorrow! I became interested in them when a coworker bought a pair of MBT shoes, which also have a negative heel. She loves hers and says that they have really made a difference to her legs and back after a 12 hour shift at the hospital, but I didn’t really want to commit $245 to a pair of work shoes. The Earth Shoes seemed like a good compromise.

**Always Brings Pie** , I have wide feet too, and the Earth Shoes fit me just fine, so they might be worth trying.

Gee, why didn’t I think of that. :rolleyes:
