Which pair of Earth Shoes do you like better?
    #3929644 - 03/17/05 08:56 AM (19 years, 16 days ago)

I'm sure most of you havn't heard of Earth Shoes. A lot of Yogis wear them because they're so comfortable and ergonomical. They're designed with "Negative Heel Technology" so that the sole, quote, "Positions the heel below the toe to achieve natural body alignment. Creates a natural, healthy, and invigorating stride." ( http://www.earthshoes.com/comfort.asp )

Anyway, here is really why I created this thread:
I wanted to hear ppls opinions on which pair of these 2 shoes they like better:

I'm really feeling the Black Princeton, I'm sure it could be used for a lot of occasions, or just casual chillin.


But also I think the Brown Venture is straight pimpin' and probably looks toit with jeans


There are some other pretty cool ones, like the Mystic, Vintage, and Street, but I think I prefer the 2 previously mentioned.

Which pair would you get?

Me too man, for some reason I think they're more yogi-esque.

The brown ones kind of look like timbalands. They still rock though. I think they could be worn with khakis and be moderately formal.

I like the Brown Leisure
I prefer either color venture over the princeton - the princeton looks a little too dressy for me, but I guess it has it's uses.

Personally I'd probably get the khaki taurus
The plateau looks like a nice chillin shoe though....

I'd have to say the brown but both are cool. I would go with the brown if I was buying a pair.

Leisure is alright, but I'm not really digging the little ridge on it


The Taurus looks too strange for me. If I'm gonna buy a pair of sneakers, I'd rather get some North Face or Solomon trail runners.


Yeah, the Plateau, especially in Khaki suede is nice.


The ones I'm feeling most are the Black Princeton, Brown Venture, and Plateau in Khaki.

Damn, its so hard to decide. The brown venture is so toit!

Black Princetons have a lot of uses I'm sure.
But the brown venture would be great for a night on the town/at the bar/club, but they are kinda "ganksta", and I don't want to look like a wigga/wanksta in them. I still think they rock though.

If I had to get one pair, it would probably be the black princetons.

I think I might end up ordering both pairs. Damn, but then theres also the khaki plateaus! Decisions, decisions . . .

Fock.. its gonna be hard deciding between those 3.

I think Plateau in Khaki is #1 on my list - but it's not like the type of shoe you could wear all the time.

I see what you mean with the leisure, never saw that ridge.

I'm more of a sneaker person but ya, I'm sure you could find a much better sneaker for that price.

IMO it's a toss-up on the Plateau and the Venture - which you yourself say is toit!

The sad part is that I won't be able to order a pair until I make up my mind >:(

Buy the vegan shoes. Then you can walk knowing that a cow didn't pay a cruel price for your comfort.

Then I would be a walking-contradiction, as I walk towards Junk-in-the-Box to order the Ultimate Cheeseburger.

Veganism is dumb.

People have evolved large enough brains to conceive the idea of veganism via animal proteins.

Being a vegan is like contridicting your bodily form. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for animal protein.

Ever heard of Dr. Michael Klapper? Google him. He's written many books on vegetarianism and veganism, and was one himself for many many years. Recently however, he decided to assimilate meat into his diet. Why? Because humans have always eaten meat. It may not have always been the staple of our diets, but in order to survive at the top of the food chain, animal protein is required. You just don't get the same energy from plant or soy proteins.

I've been eating meat all my life. I always will.

ANYWAY!!

QUIT JACKING MY DAMN THREAD!!!

Which earth shoes do you like the best?

**Edit** Oops.. I guess I kind of jacked my own thread there...

Have you ever worn those things? The only shoes that I can of think of that were more uncomfortable for me were Docs. I think I may have weird shaped feet or something.

I thought that a raised heel was better for posture and your back and everything. Wouldn't a lowered heel make you slouch more and give you back problems? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I dunno, it could be your feet. I think you just have to break them in. I've worn Doc Martins before, and have had no trouble with them...

I hate to break it to you, but you're probably wrong. Check out this link: http://www.earthshoes.com/comfort.asp

Also, there are so many yogis who wear earth shoes, including Rodney Yee, who is one of the most famous.

Raised heels better for your posture? I highly doubt it. Lets take into account high-heels. Bad for posture and your body.

Most vegetarians and vegans I know dont eat meat or animal proteins because they got issues with the industry. Tis a matter of ethics.
