If you've sworn off Earth footwear due to the clunk factor, look again. The Earth Awaken slingback is one of the brand's more streamlined models yet still features Kalsø® Negative Heel Technology®. The 3.7 degree incline positions the toes slightly higher than the heel, shifting body weight back and relieving pressure on forefoot (a wonderful feeling if you have arthritic toes or Morton's neuroma).
The Earth Awaken slingbacks pictured above actually belong to my friend Pam who had this to say about her comfortable shoes:
I LOVE them because not only are they super comfortable and give
me great support (esp. for plantar fasciitis ) but they're a little
dressier than just flat sandals and can perk up an outfit. They're wide
enough for a little foot swelling due to summer heat but not binding. There are several color choices - all look great!
