Are you in search of an airy yet supportive flip for the wider foot? Do you have forefoot pain or plantar fasciitis? Are you vegan and want a shoe that reflects your lifestyle? Yes to one or all? Try the Earth Cabo sandal from their vegan line. Aimee, of Aimee Dars Designs, is here to review her Cabo sandals for you today. After reading, I highly recommend visiting her Etsy shop of handmade vegan jewelry and accessories. See those apple earrings below? My son will be checking out his first grade teacher's ears tomorrow to see if they're pierced. If so, them apples will be her end-of-the year gift for so patiently educating my wild boy.
I learned about the Earth Vegan shoe line when I became vegan in 2005. I purchased a couple of pairs of flats, and then kept up on the new styles. When the Cabo was introduced, I loved it--and I have two pairs, the purple multi-strap in the photo as well as a solid black pair.
Weather and occasion, permitting I wear them as much as I can. Because
of the double strap, I think they are more stylish than other flip
flops as well as more secure. With Earth's registered negative heel
technology, with the heel lying slightly lower than the toes, I never
feel like my feet are being pushed forward or that the strap is
pinching my toes. I can wear these comfortably on short, leisurely
walks without any discomfort or pain. The only time they are
uncomfortable is if I've worn them for several hours where I am
standing frequently or if I am walking longer than I anticipate.
Otherwise, in my experience, they don't have the negative qualities of
many flip-flops. I highly recommend them!
Thank you Aimee. I can surely attest to the comfort factor of Earth shoes. I own a pair of their fitness shoes and find the 3.7 degree incline of the Kalso® Negative Heel Technology® eases the pain in my toes from rheumatoid arthritis and occasional neuroma pain.
