I think I’m missing the shoe gene. You know the one that most women have that make them love shoes.
I’ve always been more of the barefoot type. Flip flops if I need to have something on my feet.
But I recently had a chance to try some Kalso Earth Shoes with their “negative heel,” which mimics walking barefoot in sand by naturally positioning body over the frame. And maybe this is what I’ve been missing. Developed by a Danish yoga instructor, I could feel my posture improving when I wear these: my yoga instructor would be so proud! You can read more about the negative heel and the history behind Kalso Earth Shoe.
You can find a variety of styles, like the Prosper if you are looking for sporty casual:
Then there’s the Penchant which are the next pair of shoes that I want. Size 7.5, if you’re reading Hubs. Mother’s Day is right around the corner. *hint, hint*
And then there’s also the pair that I reviewed- I know you are shocked that they are flip flops- but the Cabo San Lucas 2 is more comfortable than any pair of sandals I’ve ever owned, since it actually has a supportive footbed.
They are so comfortable that I might actually become more of shoe person! Kalso Earth Shoe: the original wellness shoe. designed by nature, created by kalso.
Giveaway: One of you will win a pair of Kalso Earth Shoes. Winner will be selected at end of giveaway, notified via email and have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be selected. US, 18+ only.
I was sent a pair of shoes for review. All opinions and experiences are my own.
I really love the Prosper style, they are adorable, although the Penchant are a close second!

I have so been in the market for shoes like this! I really like the pink ones!
Natalie recently posted..Join Me on an Adventure…
I liked the flip flop style. A lot!
I have horrible horrible feet, always in pain, no shoe fits right, so I’ve never been a shoe person. These look actually wearable, unlike a lot of the earthy shoes you see in Foot Smart. Yes, I have such horrible feet I get the Foot Smart catalogue. FML
I’m totally more of a flip-flop person too. As long as they’re comfortable, I’m happy!

The Pristine caught my eye, they’re so low-key and comfortable-looking.
I’m a flip flop girl and they are killing my feet. I just like letting my feet breath. I have wide feet too, so you’ll never see me in stilettos.

I LOVE Earth Shoes! I have a few pairs, and one of the Mary Jane style ones is my go-to shoe. I wear it almost every day. They are amazing.

My favorite kind of shoes are slip on tennis shoes, so I can change into my slippers as soon as I walk in the door, but can easily put my shoes back on when I need to run out the door again. I had some awesome ones a few years ago and they wore out and I couldn’t find new ones to replace them.
I like mary jane shoes, or really any flats that are cute and feminine.
I hate shoes, but I desperately need to go shopping for them!

barefoot is ultimately my favorite way to get around
if I can’t go barefoot I wear a slide style sandal, oh the looks I get during the winter

I feel more comfy with flip flop. It makes my feet feel so great too.
Carol recently posted..moving companies
Cool! I like shoes, but my problem is that I will never let cuteness win over comfort, so my selection (and my inventory) is very limited.

Oops, forgot to say what kind of shoe is my favorite. Honestly? A good pair of tennis shoes are the most comfortable for me.
Kmama recently posted..Thank You Very Much: 4/30/12
I love shoes! I’m not sure I can pick my favorites, but my flip flops and black flats are pretty high on my list.
Evonne recently posted..There’s Always a Price to Pay
Ive been looking for something like the penchant shoes.
Clogs are my all time favorite type of shoe.
I am missing the shoe gene too, but those look lovely. I have developed plantar fascitis in my feet and I am on the hunt for a comfortable and supportive sandal. Great giveaway!
Stacey recently posted..An Hour In a Day
I’m definitely missing the shoe gene as well. Barefoot is the way to go. Those sandals flip flops look cool though – that is for shoes.
My favorites are sandles
I am a bad shoe person. I think I own 5 pair total. Two pair are running shoes and they would be my favorite. I actually have a pair of Earth shoes that I got last year and I do like them. The style is not something I would normally choose, but they are so comfortable.
Most of the time I am barefoot. ronaleeduncan{at}aol{dot}com

I’m not a shoe person at all. I buy a comfortable pair of shoes and wear that pair every day until it’s falling apart. I like slip on style shoes.
I love all shoes! But when I have to run out real quick I like to grab my Crocs flip flops! They’re so comfortable!
I am a diabetic so I need closed toe shoes. I really like the Renee shoes but I think the Diablo boots are hot!
I love shoes. I’m not really into clothes, but I LOVE shoes. If I ever win the lottery I’ll have a closet full of them.

I love the Penchant shoe! It looks super comfy! I had foot surgery about 6 years ago, so my left foot is very particular about shoes. I usually wear flip-flops when it’s warm enough to, I wear furry boots in the winter. Tennis shoes are hard, because of my scars.

These shoes appear to be right up my alley…I can only wear comfy ones! I really like both the Prosper and the Penchant…PLUS I’m in the market for a good new pair of arch-support flip-flops, as one of my lovely felines recently urinated on my favorite old pair…
Love the Prosper! Also, LOVE the fact that you totally gave me fodder for a blog post regarding my obsession with shoes! Thank you!

The prosper style or the flip-flops are my fav styles!
In the summer: flip flops. In the winter, tennies. But alas, for work I have to “look nice”, so I’m usually in heels (year round) or boots (winter).

My favorite shoes are actually a pair of Kalso earth sandals that I have been wearing to death the past two summers!
Love the Penchants-perfect for running to the park, errands, and chasing my toddler everywhere he goes!
I have one pair of tennies that I wear daily. . .
But I would prefer to walk around in flip-flops all day if I could. ;)
Oohh! I would love a pair of these shoes! They sound perfect for me!

I used to be all about the heels, the higher the better! Met my hubs at work and he said my nickname (the guys called me) was “business sexy” … little suits and high heels. But these days, no can do, flip flops are my go to shoe!
i love the enchant shoe!!!!
I think I’m a flip flop girl for sure. Super cute shoes! I’d never heard of them before.

Actually, i have an old pair of Earth Kalso shoes that are falling apart because they are my favorite and I have had then for so long. I need a new pair. Thanks~
Slip on sneakers
My favorite shoes are anything comfy but not looking like bedroom slippers. I like a pair of good leather boat shoes, well broken in for colder seasons and a sandal for summer that doesn’t slip around on my feet.

I really wanted to enter this contest but had to get to a computer to do it. I couldn’t use the widget thing on my Kindle or my phone! Oh well. I will have more time once my kids get older. 2 under 2 is pretty much pure chaos.
I know there are some problems with the widget if it’s used on anything other than a computer, but it’s really made managing giveaway entries so much easier.
My first two were just shy of 17 months apart, so I totally get that- it gets easier, I promise!
