Not bad huh? The Fall/Winter 2012 Earth® Collection is a remarkable value starting from $89 for shoes and $119 for boots! Amazing value for shoes made from genuine leather.

Earth, Inc. President, Gary Champion, comments, “There’s a void, a crease, in the market where a sizable portion of women are looking for reliable trend-right comfort footwear from a trusted brand that offers them something a little different – something with a little ‘twist’. Our years of designing comfort footwear afford
us a foothold in a category that’s been stagnating, and is now favorably reacting to the freshness we’re offering. Our Spring / Summer 2012 introduction proved credibility in the concept. Our Fall / Winter 2012 line now seeks to really exploit and amplify that.”

Earth®. Step Into Wellness!

I am not a shoe loving girl. I only own a few pairs of shoes and honestly for me comfort trumps fashion every time. I am a 7 1/2 wide shoe and there aren’t a lot of fashionable choices in wide widths so my choices are limited from the start.

I have heard about Earth® Footwear and their “negative” heel technology for a few years now but the new spring line features “positive” heels. The “negative” heel shoes are still going strong and are available at Kalso Earth Shoes.

The new Earth® features a cushioned footbed for all day comfort, with a padded heel area to displace shock, a reinforced arch support to stabilize foot and a multi-density latex cushioning layer for extra support. 

I received a pair of Bonsai shoes in 7 1/2 (not wide) and they actually fit!! The shoe material and design allow it to fit comfortably on even my wide foot! The Bonsai has a 0.75″ platform and a 2.68″ heel. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to wear the shoes too long because of the heel height and my bad back, but I was wrong. The first time I wore them was to church. I am the head of hospitality at our church and I stand outside from 8:30-10:15am before service and then after service for about 20 more minutes. Very few stylish shoes have passed my Sunday morning test. The Bonsai made it through with flying colors. I love the Bonsai because they are adorable and can be worn with jeans, dress pants or a dress.

The new Earth® is characterized by Contemporary Comfort, Contemporary style and Everyday Value. The Spring/Summer 2012 Earth® Collection is all under $100! Prices range from $79-$99 – and is made of real leather.

When I first saw someone wearing Crocs it was at Walt Disney World. An entire family, with strong British accents, were wearing what I thought were hideous brightly colored shoes with white socks. Now, I am no fashionista but these were some of the ugliest shoes I had ever seen and the socks made it worse. Fast forward about 6 months…suddenly some of my mommy friends are showing up at our monthly Bunko game wearing Crocs. “They’re comfy,” they say. Hmmm should I try them…nah. Then about 3 months later Mickey Mouse Crocs are all the talk on my Disney World Yahoo group. Everyone is talking about getting Crocs for their upcoming trip. Hmmmm Mickey Crocs could be cute. I check a few local stores that sold Crocs but none had the Mickey ones but…I did finally try on a pair of Caymans, ooo comfy. Now I knew I needed to have a pair of Mickey Crocs. I ordered them online and they arrived in time for our March 2007 extended family trip to Disney World. On that trip my luv affair was born.
I wear my Mickey Crocs 63% of the time!

I was shopping for some black, open-toed wedges to go with an outfit I got. I couldn’t find any that I liked or that were comfortable. Then for Christmas 2008 my hubby gave me a pair of Sassari Crocs. Luv them! I luv wearing them with dresses to church. EVERY time I wear them, someone comments about my cute shoes. Then I say, “Thanks, they’re Crocs.” Then their jaw drops because they can’t believe how cute Crocs can be. I wear my Sassari Crocs 6% of the time sooooo approximately 69% of the time I have shoes on my feet-they are Crocs!

Now I am not the only Crocs fan in my house. My youngest son, the Jibbitz collector, is on his 2nd pair of Caymans, he outgrew the 1st pair after 2 years and my oldest son lives in his Crete flip-flops. I am also excited because I will be getting a new pair of Crocs as some of the swag at IZEAfest. Yay me!!
Our family of Crocs. I will be a fan and wearer of Crocs for as long as Crocs is around, which I think will be a very, very long time. #crocs4ever
