Earth Chelsea Black Shoe
This casual mary jane styled shoe has a rich, supple leather upper, fully adjustable side buckle, padding around the ankle and plush red interior detailing. The sculpted sole wraps forward and creates a unique toe bumper with a distinctive ribbed texture.
Earth footwear features Negative Heel Technology. This is a subtle 3.7 degree incline in the sole from heel to toe. Almost invisible from the outside, this incline is renowned for improving posture and has also been proven to burn 4 x more body fat than standard shoes, simply by walking in them!

Imagine a shoe so different it changes how you think about your footwear and your lifestyle. Earth Kalso Negative Heel Technology shifts your body weight 
back by positioning the heel slightly lower than the toes, correcting posture and enabling better breathing. This slight incline of 3.7 degrees re-distributes the body's weight back over the heels, helping to promote a range of added health benefits - from better leg and calf toning, to tighter thighs and stronger core muscles – and help to burn more calories with every step.
Kalso Negative Heel Technology is the primary point of difference with Earth Footwear, and although the incline is slight, the benefits are significant - with the weight back over your heels, Earth moves you in to a more natural, empowered position. Walking and standing becomes more anatomically correct, and more efficient, so you can look good and also feel great on the inside.
Aiming to change the way you view the importance of the footwear you wear everyday, Earth have created styles of shoes that fit in to your current wardrobe and keep up with changing fashions - giving you the opportunity to change how you look after your health from the bottom up.
Using Negative Heel Technology, all Earth Footwear positions the heel slightly lower than the ball of the foot as it lies in the foot bed.

Improved posture

Better breathing
All Earth Footwear is also complimented by anatomic arch support and a moulded foot bed featuring Gelron2000 memory gel - a high performance cushioning that moulds to the shape of your foot and lasts for the life of the shoe. This engineering makes Earth shoes the perfect walking companion, offering support for your foot that has positive effects on the whole body; increasing muscular strength, enhancing breathing, correcting posture and alleviating common medical ailments such as back and muscular pain, swolen feet and Arthritis.
Earth Footwear's Negative Heel Technology is a technological point of difference that unlocks a wide range of whole-body benefits and can be used for a number of different reasons:
As part of a healthy lifestyle:
By ensuring your body is in the correct alignment and your feet are supported in their natural position, Earth Footwear will enhance your current lifestyle and give you the foundations for positive, healthy life. Available in styles suitable for all occasions, Earth footwear are perfect for everyday use, so you can burn more calories, protect your joints and improve your posture all while you are doing something else - in the office, shopping or just taking a walk. Much more than shoes, Earth are a way of life.
As part of training:
Thanks to the 3.7 degree incline in the sole of the shoe, Earth can give you 3 times more exercise value than standard trainers and helping you to burn more calories with every step. Earth can also be used as a tool to ensure your body is supported correctly when exercising, lessening the risk of injury and enhancing the strength of your core muscles.
As part of medical rehabilitation:
The most common cause of back pain and muscular problems in the body are down to bio-mechanical dysfunctions and incorrect use of the body due to poor posture. The Negative Heel sole in Earth shoes has been bio-mechanically engineered to promote the correct posture and gait for wearers, meaning they can contribute significantly to a number of common ailments including Arthritis, Plantar Faciatis, back pain and muscular atrophy. Podiatrists, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Doctors all use Earth Footwear to treat patients
With 26 years experience Quincy Rabot is a leading force in the treatment of people with back and leg problems and those who've suffered sports injuries.
As a leading Osteomyologist, (someone who specialises in the study of bones and muscles) he treats celebrities and some of the world's top athletes.
Although the identities of his current clients are, naturally, confidential, his past patients include Olympic Gold Medallist Alan Wells, World Record breaker runner, Zola Budd, and the snooker player, Alex Higgins.
The eminent therapist, who's based in Surrey, is in no doubt about the benefits of using Earth shoes with Negative Heel Technology - so much so that he recommends most of his patients to use them.
He says: "The most common cause of back pain is bio-mechanical dysfunction of the body caused by incorrect use of the body and poor posture."
"The most pertinent indication of bad biomechanics is carrying the body's weight too far forward in the feet and towards the balls of the feet, which is called pronation. This makes the pelvis flex and tip forwards, the knees hyperextend and rotate inwards and the head to pushes forward."
"This posture can cause pain in the back, hip and knee joints, neck and
even in the head."
"In my experience the most effective way to correct this is to wear Earth with Negative Heel Technology for at least four to six hours a day."
Quincy Rabot first discovered Earth shoes 25 years ago when a Swedish therapist gave him a pair to alleviate his back pain.
He was amazed by the results.
"The Earth shoes really did cure my back pain and improve my posture. I was so impressed. I never had them off my feet. When I needed a new pair I thought they would be easy to find - but I was wrong."
"I spent the best part of 20 years looking everywhere for Earth shoes because they'd gone out of production."
Thankfully, there was light at the end of the tunnel. Much to Quincy's delight, Love Those Shoes resurrected the brand in the UK in 2003.
"I was looking through The Times one day when I came across a story about Love Those Shoes selling the Earth range and I couldn't quite believe it. It was well worth the wait."
Chelsea is a smart, casual shoe with a protective toe bumper and a mary jane style strap.
