I have worn this shoe 3-5 days a week for the last 2 years! After two years of regular use, I can offer an excellent testimonial of this particular shoe. I have found that my posture has dramatically improved and my fat-distribution patterns changed to a more balanced, muscular body (I was pear shaped but no more!). The only thing I changed was my shoes. I wear them for work and walking. After two years, the outsole is only slightly worn so I think they will last a long time. I was concerned about spending $250 on a shoe, but in the long run, they were really worth it! A note on style: I love fashionable shoes. This particular shoe is innocuous enough that I can wear it with anything long (no minis). If your heels slip in these or you get a blister breaking them in, try a special lacing technique to hold the heel back as a firm heel hold is the most important thing for fitting. I usually wear a 9 or 9 wide but bought a 40 1/3 (supposedly 9.5). I fit the heels in snugly and my toes have never hit the end of the toe box. My wide feet are not an issue. Despite the lack of “arch support”, I feel that the style of the shoe works well this way. I tried arch supports in them and went back to the original shoe. Happy shopping!

I am an MBT fan for life - I love these shoes! I have had mine for a couple months now. And I waited to review them until I could really give an accurate report! I can honestly say I noticed the muscles working in my thighs and rear the first time I wore them. So I decided to keep them and start wearing them on my walks. I really felt like I was getting an extra workout. Within 2 weeks I could see a difference! I then purchased the sandals and I wear them around most of the time and save the sport low tennis shoes for my walking. I average about 15-20 miles a week when walking. I wouldn’t say I noticed much difference in the core, but I have had lots of friends and family see the difference in my legs and rear without even knowing about my Casual shoes. They are worth every penny! I ordered the size I normally wear in tennis shoes and found them to be a bit big. I wear two pairs of socks and that seems to make it a perfect fit.

Great Shoes…like walking on a trampoline - These shoes are wonderful. When you first put them on you feel as though each step is propelling you into the next one. My posture has improved by wearing these and I love them because they are comfortable and provide excellent foot and ankle support.

The Best - I ordered these shoes and waited about a month to finally put them on and keep them. The cost was holding me back. Now I look forward to wearing them and so does my body. I get a kick going to the grocery store and know I’m exercising up and down the aisles. They’re more comfortable than sandals or bare feet if you can believe that.

After wearing the shoes for two weeks I can confirm that walking with this shoe really does give your leg muscles a work out. I want to wear them every day. I just wish they were better looking. I have a wide foot, and these fit great. The toe box area on this model is good for a wide foot.

Great for walking - The minute I put these on, I was sold. Took them on a trip to Europe, where I walked many miles a day. They properly align your foot, leg, and back when you walk. Never a blister, never a sore foot, even with my flat feet. And my chronic nagging lower back and knee-joint pains never showed up at all. The shoes are quite big and blocky looking, but I put comfort before vanity and have no regrets. Worth the high price.

Fabulous MBTs - After almost 15 years of neuropathy in my feet, I have finally found a comfortable shoe! These may not be elegant in style, but they are comfortable in every respect. This is my second pair of MBTs. The first pair I bought in London last fall when a woman came walking into the hotel lobby wearing them, and I questioned her about them. Fabulous, she said, and I bought black leather ones immediately.

Happy Nurse about my MBT’s - I was the first person at our hospital to purchase the MBT’s. I was so impressed as I was a college athlete at one time and knew what being in shape and feeling great was all about. The first day I worked a 16 hour shift and could not believe the difference. I am 5′7″ and weigh 175 pounds. The posture was the greatest benefit. My plantar warts left. No more sciatica. My stomach muscles burned at first. My buttock muscles are firm, my calves are cut. I have talked over a dozen people in my hospital into getting the MBT’s. They are extremely pleased with them also. I know this purchase added years to my career, now I just need to get in shape and shave a few of those pounds and inches off. Ha! Thank you, MBT Casuals

All the Claims Are True! I didn’t believe it until I actually wore them and walked 4 days a week for 30 minutes. They totally help to sculpt your lower body! I Love them!!!!!!!!!! They are worth every PENNY!

MBT Men’s Casual - I love this shoe. It makes my trips to the gym much more comfortable. BUT, I have a high arch and find that there is not nearly enough support for my arch. I have talked to others who have the same problem, so a little more support in the arch would be very much appreciated.

I bought my first pair of MBT’s 1 1/2 weeks ago. I suffer from heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. I had plantar ligament release in Dec. I’m on my feet all day. In just this short time, the strain on my knees and back is gone. The shoes are very warm at first when you wear them, until your muscles start strengthening. In one week’s time, I took my dog for a 5 block walk! I haven’t been able to do this in 2 years! So far, I’m pleased that I spent this exceptional amount of money for these shoes. Time will tell if my foot muscles strengthen and stretch enough that I can finally walk into the bathroom, at night from the bedroom, without putting on a pair of shoes! This is my last resort since I’ve already had the surgery done! Bravo, for someone to finally come up with a shoe to help my problems. Could make more fashionable styles.

9 out of 10 - I love how these shoes feel, although I still have problems with heel slippage. The 9 out of 10 is because they are ugly, but well worth it. I wore normal athletic shoes to the gym the other day and was miserable.

Interesting Sneakers - This sneaker is pretty much what it is advertised to be. Before receiving them, I expected them to feel much more awkward than they actually felt. It is true, they do give your legs a sort-of workout and one does use leg muscles that previously may have not been used before. As far as correcting my posture, they haven’t really made a difference for me, and I was expecting them to be a little more useful in that respect, but they are very comfortable and pretty much look like typical sneakers. I actually like the way they look and they do provide great support. Are they worth the price? I would have to say no, but for the most part I am generally pleased with them.

I heard about MBT shoes from my Dad in the UK several years ago so when they became available here I got some. They do everything they say they will…a great workout for the legs and butt. A great walk, even elliptical/treadmill shoe. I have the sandal too, great for summer

MBTs or high heels - I bought the MBT Sport Low in white in Dec. 2005 for clinical nursing. While it’s not recommended by MBT, I wear my hard orthotics in them for 12+ hrs/day - most of that on my feet. I’ve had problems in the past with ankle, leg, hip and low back pain but not when wearing a pair of MBTs. Since 2005, I’ve bought a pair of Sport Low in gray for non-clinical days, a pair of black Sport High for work-outs, running and the gym, a pair of sandals and the hiking boots. Yes, they’re expensive but my health is worth it. The only other shoes I own now are high heels.

My Knee’s Feel Better - I’d suffered from knee pain for quite some time. Medication and exercises didn’t seem to help much. I read about these shoes and thought I would give them a try. My knee pain went away very quickly! It took a couple of weeks to get used to the shoes. They are the only shoes I wear now. I work out on the treadmill everyday in them! They may not be for everyone but they solved my knee problem.
