Earth Shoes

Top Men's Earth Shoes

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Even if you don't remember the 70s, you've probably heard of Earth shoes. Tan lace-ups that didn't offer much fashion-wise, they were one of the biggest trends of the era.

Earth shoes featured a Negative HeelĀ® technology that promised natural body alignment and better posture. If sales and fan loyalty are any indication, they made good on their promise.

Now Earth shoes come in a variety of styles, colors and materials. Be sure to check out my men's picks below, or my top Women's Earth Shoes.

3. "Nova" - Cool Vegan Earth Shoes

Though the breathable mesh uppers <b>look</b> like they're trimmed in suede, these shoes are actually vegan -- they're also incredibly cool. A perfect match for jeans, these shoes come in khaki or black.

4. Earth Shoes "Stride" Stylish Casual Shoes

A casual shoe on the outside, and athletic shoe on the inside -- all I know, is they look great, whatever they are. Offered in brown, mahogany or black, these lace-up oxfords are ideal with jeans and cool weather. And if you want an athletic shoe through and through, there's a white version that should do the trick.

5. Earth Shoes - "Energetic K" Trendy Sneakers

In khaki or black, these rugged trainers look like a cross between a hiker and a sneaker. Featuring nylon mesh and leather uppers, these shoes are a nice change of pace from the usual white trainer. But if you're more into the classics, don't worry, there's a white version as well.
