Date: September 30, 2008 07:10PM Hi. Maybe someone can help me. I am interested in the above kind of shoe. Does anyone here wear them, and what has your experience been?
As I see it, this kind of shoe would stretch your leg muscles in the back and thereby loosen your body up. What do you think? Many thanx. Re: Negative-heel shoes, such as "Earth Shoes"

Do you wear the vegan versions or the leather shoes? I am glad you can recommend negative heel shoes, as I feel attracted to them. Re: Negative-heel shoes, such as "Earth Shoes"

Date: October 01, 2008 01:27AM i have these
[www.earth.us] [www.earth.us] [www.earth.us] the last, the boots were over $300 at my local mountain shop. they are comfy but cold (and no, that is NOT real fur!). i've had them all for years and they really hold up well, i take care of them though with cleaning and conditioning so that they will last. i don't have the vegan version, they didn't carry anything like that at my shop.

Date: October 01, 2008 06:59AM Many thanks for those links. Do they have a sizing chart if you have to order shoes (if there's no shop where one lives)?
Regarding warm boots: I live in a place with ultracold winters and I can say for sure that the un-glamorous, loose-fitting boots with heavy felt liners is really the only way to go. Style be damned (in this case)! You have to be able to move your toes. The nice looking boots don't let you do that and I think that's what causes your feet to get cold.

Date: October 24, 2008 01:20AM Glad to hear that the Earth shoes are suitable for you, too! I need to hear this from lots of folks if I am going to buy some for myself, as $$$ is hard to come by for me. Thanks. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
