United StatesThis is my second pair of earth runners and my kids’ first and we all love them!
United StatesI am obsessed with these sandals. They are so, so comfortable once you figure out the laces. I had a problem with the heel strap constantly slipping down but I ended up wrapping it TWO extra times (they have a video about wrapping it ONE extra time), and that has been a game changer. I was worried the alphas might be too thick but they’re still very thin and make you feel connected to the earth. They feel like an extension of my foot. Also, the customer service team allowed me to exchange these sandals TWICE for free so I could get the exact right fit (the first exchange I had the wrong size and the second exchange I switched to the thicker alpha sole as the thinner sole was causing foot pain). Could not be happier!
SpainEstamos realmente sorprendidos con la calidad y comodidad de estas sandalias!! Llevamos todo el verano usándolas y no puedo más que recomendarlas. Se agarras a cualquier pavimento sin escurrir, son cómodas y se puede incluso correr con ellas.
United StatesMy whole family has these now and I’m on my second pair. Customer service was great when I had to exchange sizes.
United StatesI ordered the wrong size. I wore them a couple times thinking I could make them work. After a fews of my feet hurting and thinking, these are too small. I emailed customer service the said, no problem! Since a went up a few sizes there was a price difference. They sent me an invoice I paid it through the pay app. They even honored my coupon code 😃.I received the new pair a week-ish later and I haven't taken them off. I even shower with them on. The only small small complaint is when you walk into the ocean the foot sole bends back. I will try the thickest sole for my next pair. Thanks Earth Runners for my new fav sandal that is the closest thing to.going bare foot!
