A Certain individuals find that their feet get very hot when they first wear Earth shoes because the technology encourages an increase in blood flow to the feet; this is nothing to worry about and should disappear after a couple of weeks. However, if this burning fails to go after this time, please consult your GP.

A No. Earth are no different to any other new shoes, and may cause blisters or rub the feet if worn for too long. Allow the blister to fully heal before wearing your shoes again and then wear them in for shorter periods until your feet become accustomed to them.

Ask your specialist or consultant to look at the information on our website, or supply them with some printed off information pages, to enable them to better advise you.

A There is no reason why not - but you can judge if you feel any discomfort of any kind, try wearing your Earth shoes for short periods and build up the length of time, until they have worn in and softened a little. Once your feet are used to them, you may wear them for as long as you are comfortable.

Yes, if you find them comfortable - there is no reason why not. As with any shoes, you may prefer to wear them in for short periods until you are used to them.

It's not your imagination. Some synthetic materials used in shoes – like spandex, polyester, rayon and nylon – make it harder for feet to breathe.

Athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis), with or without scaling of the skin is a condition that can cause burning of the feet. This is a fungal infection that is easily curable with appropriate treatment and there are over-the-counter antifungal creams, ointments and powders that can be used. It also is important to wear clean, dry socks so that the feet do not stay moist. Overheating of the feet may also cause burning of the feet.

A Some people with narrow feet do find any shoes slip off. We have found that heel grips (widely available from chemists) may solve the problem. People with varying widths have found great comfort in our shoes. We would recommend an oxford or an adjustable buckle. These would help with keeping your foot stable.

In order to swing dance, you've got to be able to spin and slide on the dance floor, but still be able to maintain control so you don't fall over! One of the easiest ways to do this when dancing in Cowling Dance Studio is to simply dance in your socks. However, the Cowling floor is not always the cleanest, and socks don't give your feet any padding against the hard wood floor. Also, if you want to dance anywhere that isn't Cowling, you're probably going to to want to be wearing shoes.

A Yes, some styles are waterproof or water resistant (it states which on the product) but some of our styles are for fashion only. You can spray them with silicone to repel dampness, but they are not meant for severe weather.

A Yes they can because your body weight is distributed more evenly which means that less stress and impact is placed on the knees, ankles, heel and toes as you walk. The GELRON2000 sole of all Earth shoes will absorb a lot of the shock associated with normal gait and movement and minimize pain.

Yes! Your feet get cold too even if you don’t notice it. Often your body will rob heat from the core to warm your extremities so keeping your hands and feet warm will make you feel warmer overall. In addition, the socks or boots installed on your drysuit were sized so you can wear thick insulation on your feet. If you do not wear insulation, the feet of your suit may seem too big. Layering is great alternative to buying a new base undergarment.

Usually not. If your shoe fits you properly there is usually room for the orthotic. If you wear a lot of different style shoes you may want to get more than one pair (second pairs cost 1/3 less).

Despite the rough terrain and many miles of cross country travel, you will probably be much better off in running shoes, although one of the modern lug soled running/hiking shoe hybrids might not be an unreasonable choice.

Even in '94, a very dry year, this was a foot-soaking course.

ViscoSpot has about a ¼ lift at the back of the heel. They fit best in sports or casual shoes. They may not work well in heels, as they may push the heel out of the shoe and put too much pressure on the toes.
