Kalso Earth Shoe

What started in Denmark in the late 60’s set off a global frenzy in early 1970 – the introduction of a line of comfortable shoes based on the simple principles of everyday, whole-body wellness. Shoes developed by a then-little-known Danish yoga instructor, Anne Kalso, that would trigger the emergence of the euro-comfort movement in the United States. Shoes with a negative heel based on the popular yoga “Mountain” pose, and designed to mimic walking barefoot in the sand by naturally positioning the body over the frame. Shoes that improved posture and reduced joint stress. Launching on April 1st – the first “Earth Day” – “Kalso Earth Shoes” would signal the humble beginnings of wellness footwear as we know it today. It would further serve as the seeds behind an entire portfolio of wellness-oriented comfortable shoes – including the original Kalso Earth Shoes, Earth, and Earthies – all of which are designed and developed by Earth, Inc. for the greater marketplace today.
