Earth Shoes
Most consumers have heard of Earth Shoes. The Earth footwear name is synonymous with style, comfort, and durability. They were designed back in the 1950’s by Anne Kalso with the help of a Portuguese shoe maker. She redefined her shoe concept and even personally tested the new footwear models, sometimes on hikes as long as 500 miles or more. Soon thereafter, Kalso opened a retail store in Copenhagen and began to sell the Kalso Minus Heel Shoe. It got it’s name because the heel of the shoe was lower than the toe. She had gotten this idea when she saw the superb posture of Brazilian Indians and noticed that their footprints in the sand had lower heel imprints than the toes.
Meanwhile, during the summer of 1969, American travelers Raymond and Eleanor Jacobs were vacationing in Europe. They discovered the Kalso Minus Heel shoe. The Jacobs’ worked out a deal with Anne Kalso and they agreed to distribute the shoes in the United States. On April 1, 1970, Earth Shoes were born in the United States. The Jacobs’ opened the Kalso Minus Heel store in New York City. When the Jacobs’ realized that April 1, 1070 was the first celebrated Earth Day, they put a handwritten sign in the front window that read, “Earth Shoes.” The sign caught the attention of people passing down the street. After that, the customers who bought the shoes made them popular by telling all of their friends and family. The shoes grew in popularity and many more stores began to open.
Today, Earth Shoes are very popular among young trendy style setters, Vegans, Yoga enthusiasts, and even health care workers or other people who are on their feet for many hours a day. The Minus Heel Technology improves your posture, helps you burn more calories, and also helps tone and strengthen muscles in your legs.
