(never been here before, hope I am doing correctly!) In the Wikipedia entry for Earth Shoe, it says something-like "foot experts have said they are bad for you; and will do great harm..." I have worn, practically exclusively, Earth Shoes over a period of nearly 42 years; and find them extraordinarily comfortable and therapeutic. Aside from a pair of Biking shoes, all my other 5 pairs of shoes are currently Earth Shoes; by the present manufacturer. It's seems the referred to "foot experts" might possibly be, and quite unfairly, in the pay of earth's competitors. Is it possible for me to site my personal experiences with regards Earth Shoes?
Also in the article: it states that originator Anna Kalso was a shoe-designer. Nay, she was a Yoga Instructor, in truth.ElfstoneAragorn (talk) 04:09, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hi. You did it fine. Wikipedia relies on published reliable sources by independent authorities. Your personal experience is considered original research, so we can't include it. About Anna Kalso, we need sources for any claims that are contested, especially ones about living people. Can you find a source to back it up? If so, mention it on the article's talk page. Let me know if you have any questions (here or at my talk page). Cheers, Ocaasi c 05:23, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
If you can find documents they have to be a) reliable and b) published. That means not a personal journal entry, but a newspaper article or journalist product profile. For any source that you find, bring it to the talk page for examination. Then you would look at it in comparison to other sources and figure out how to present them neutrally. For background on this, I recommend WP:PLAIN and WP:SIMPLE. Ocaasi c 15:16, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
