It’s hard to wear other shoes than these - I was wearing high heels and wedge heels a lot and had a lot of lower back pain and stiffness. Once I put on these shoes, I could feel the pain and stiffness alleviate. I got on the treadmill with them and got to my target heart rate without even having to run! They do work you! I have lost 10 lbs in 2 months. I haven’t noticed a difference in cellulite; I’ve only had them 2 months. They are kind of ugly but I don’t want to wear anything else!
My first MBT experience - These shoes run 1/2 a size small. They recommend you slowly work into wearing these shoes. It isn’t to break the shoe in; it’s to help you get used to the unusual design. I have to admit that the first week was awkward and a little tiring on my feet. It’s been a week and a half now, and I love them. I can feel a difference in my posture, and the way I carry myself.
Hopeful - The first time I saw MBT Beach shoes I thought they were a corrective shoe. I guess they really are when I think about what result I was hopeful for and still am. I have foot pain - especially on the balls of my feet and am looking to relieve that, improve my posture and improve my running (jogging).
Wow - I have been trying to find a shoe that is comfortable and easy for me to wear. This shoe is interesting and I thought it might do the trick… it has been everything it purports to be… No more pain in my knee and hip joints when I walk or stand too much! It is bulky but once you get used to it, it’s easy to walk in. I’ve never owned a shoe that came with its own DVD and instructions! I am enjoying this shoe very much. I got a half size larger and have put an inner sole in so it’s tighter.
Just Unbelievable - I had my doubts, but these shoes are too good to be true. Comfort unmatched by any other product I’ve tried, and just having finished a treadmill work-out, no ankle pain. Wonderful!
Fabulous! These shoes are incredible! I could feel the difference the first time I put them on and it was amazing. The really do help your posture and help work out targeted muscle groups. After a few days of wearing the shoes, I wore a pair of flip-flops. The difference was amazing. It felt like I had been training in the gym, my legs and thighs were sore! I’ve had my MBT’s for about three weeks now, and I can already tell a major difference in my posture, and muscle tone…just from wearing the shoes.

Not pretty but pretty comfy… I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend this much $ on a pair of shoes but glad I did. My knee, lower back and hip pain is gone. I wear these around the house, walking the dog, running errands, trips to the park with kids, etc. I’ve also noticed that my fanny is a bit tighter :-). I did order 1/2 size up like other reviews said but I think my true size would have been better. I wear a pair of thick socks and they fit fine. I had no problems getting used to wearing them either, wear and go! I chose the black style because they seem a bit more innocuous than the other styles/colors, you don’t really notice how “orthopedic” they look. Love ‘em.
Love my MBT’s - I love the way they fit and I thought they were very true to size. I was extremely sore after wearing the for a few days but I already notice a big difference in the thighs and stomach and would live in them all day long if I could get away with it at work. I’m going to buy the sandals for the summer.
Happy Feet - I broke my ankle and three metatarsals in a motorcycle accident. I have had to completely change the kind of shoes I wear. The MBT’s are the most comfortable of all the shoes I now wear as they help the movement of the foot feel more fluid and less pounding. They aren’t the most stylish of shoe but they do a great job in the area of comfort!
Worth the price!! I have been bothered for years with low back pain. Last fall the low back pain added to hip pain and sciatica in my left leg. Chiropractor visits weren’t cutting it so I went to the MD who sent me to physical therapy. PT seemed to help, but cost $100/week (AFTER insurance!). After 7 weeks of PT, we decided it was as good as it was gonna get. Then I saw an ad for MBT’s and thought “why not try?” I feel they’ve helped and plan to purchase the sandals as soon as I can scrape together another $240! And I’m not prone to spending this much money on shoes. These aren’t just shoes…they’re magic!
Not cute, but still awesome - I bought these shoes as an incentive to increase the amount of time I spend walking since we just rented a new urban apartment, and its working. These shoes are extremely comfortable and I am actually enjoying walking around to buy groceries, exploring restaurants, etc. After a long walk, I can feel it in my legs and thighs more than in my feet, and that’s a good thing! I bought the black shoes and they are a little “clunky looking” but they go with just about anything except a skirt. (I guess you can’t have everything!)
