Earthies shoes are the most comfortable I've found (along with Gentle Souls) and they are fashionable, unlike most comfortable shoes. Even within the "comfort" brands, most can't be worn right out of the box, but Earthies are always perfectly comfortable right out of the box. My biggest concern with these was if the "bling" factor would be too much for my style, but once I put them on with the outfit I had in mind, and with just jeans, as well, I was completely sold. The price was too good to pass up.
