I walk on my treadmill with my MBTs and I have to say they make my workout great! I used to dread my workout but for some reason, with these I look forward to my walk and when I put the treadmill on an incline it doesn’t even feel like work. I think these are great for anyone who walks for a workout. They are def worth the money and the price is the best at Zappos! Just a Tip: I heard you should not go beyond 5.0 mph on the treadmill as you might lose your balance.

I love this shoe! I look forward to wearing this shoe. I have had it now since November 2006 and it is my favorite athletic shoe. It took a few tries to get the right fit and it did seem hot on my feet at first. When I wear this shoe I feel like I am standing straighter and my feet don’t get sore and tired. I love to wear them to the mall for my power shopping trips.

MBT - I have a ruptured disk and stenosis at my L3 vertebrae. When I walk or stand in any shoes, my left leg goes numb. MBT’s are the only modality I have found for relief. I have tried Asics Kayano’s for cushioning, Earth shoes for the effect of a negative heel, but no other shoe, massage, acupuncture, or medication has affected such a positive change. Although they are overpriced, I cannot deny being free from pain. I am very fit so my body did not suffer any break in period but the shoes really “take off” after about 10 hours of break in. There is no arch support but that is integral to muscle recruitment rather than joint stress. I highly recommend MBT’s to anyone who has back pain, would like to improve their posture, and their waling efficiency. Too bad they are so ugly; yet it is more than offset by the relief.

I just wish they weren’t so large looking. I understand however, that it is due to the unique makeup of the shoe and for that I can live with it. They are great and really do work leg muscles I don’t normally feel with regular walking shoes. Everything that was stated in other reviews is right on, I walk straighter and no discomfort and look forward to breaking them in on my treadmill! Thanks!

MBT Sport Low - Feel great, look dorky! Let’s face it, most of us are pretty vain. I am one of the worst but I will swallow my pride and wear my MBTs for the comfort and health benefits. I usually wear a 9 but bought a 9 1/2 based on some of the reviews and I am glad I did. MBT Night Shoes for Mens The heel does feel slightly loose but not terrible. It only took a couple of steps for me to get used to the sole technology. I love the rocking motion!

New shoes - I recently purchased the MBT’S on the recommendation of my friend Lydia. She knows I have back problems and said they would help. I could not believe it when I put them on, after just a few minutes my back did not get the constant ache that is always there. The shoes are great, especially if you’re on your feet a lot. I wear them all the time; will probably buy a pair of sandals for the summer also.

I ordered two pairs, one offered a 40 1/3 and the other only a 40 or 41. Kept the first pair b/c it had a much better fit. Took these to Norway for a lot of walking. Although my heel hurt (small blister) at first, everything else was great. Much less back pain then normal. Really have to work at walking heel to toe to get the benefits. I will definitely buy these again.

The first time I wore my MBT for about 4 hrs and felt a bit unsteady and notice a slight discomfort to the shoes lace area on both feet. The next day I wore them again this time I was able to wear them for about 8 hrs and then my feet felt heavy. The followings days I increased the hours and now I can wear them without any discomfort. Now I look forward to wearing them all time. I can really tell the difference when I wear my Asics…they feel like low riders and my right heel starts to hurt. I presently suffer from planter fasciitis and my MBT have taken my pain away. I highly recommend MBT especially if you suffer from planter fasciitis.

Relief! I have had some foot problems (plantar fasciitis) and have wide feet. I have been wearing the expensive New Balance running shoes to work in (on my feet most of the day) and they do OK for a while. I usually have to change shoes before the day is over to relieve pain. I bought the MBT’s and I no longer have to change during the day, and my feet no longer hurt at night or when I get up in the mornings. They help keep my calves stretched (the primary cause of plantar fasciitis is tight calf muscles) and my feet don’t hurt! I will be wearing these from now on; hopefully I will be able to wear any shoes because the problem is going away with these. Highly recommended! And of course from Zappos, the best shoe store online.

Great Work Out ! I was skeptical about a shoe that would give you a workout while doing everyday activities, but it is true. I took a chance and I am thrilled with the results. I can feel my legs and butt muscles tightening up. I stand taller with proper posture while I’m wearing the shoes. I can feel my stomach muscles and sides tightening up. I’ve never found anything that actually worked my upper hip but I can feel the muscles working when I wear these shoes. My children say they look like moon shoes. The white shoe looks more like a regular tennis shoe and I think it looks better than the black one. I wish they weren’t so ugly, nonetheless, I think they are worth the money.

Worth the price and worth the break in time! Well, this is the second review…it took over one month to get used to these things…now, can’t live without them! Already deciding what pair I will get next. (don’t think you can just get these and walk out the door…first you need to practice walking in them, then you have to get your legs used to walking in them…they are an exercise machine disguised as a shoe)so about 4 weeks into it, you are in shape to wear them all day…oh, and when your feet burn, and they will, it is cause the circulation is getting back to your feet where it is supposed to be! MBT Night Shoe. Guess I will also have to get a pair of sandals for the summer too…cause I think the closed toe would be way too warm. As for looks, everyone at my new part time job ( I work two jobs and stand on my feet more than 15 hours per day) say they want a pair because I never complain that my feet hurt ..and they always do.

Amazed and pleased - Frankly, I was skeptical that these shoes could make any difference in the way that the ad claimed. But they have. Within a few days my knees were noticeably more flexible and comfortable. In about ten days, my thighs and buttocks were definitely firmer. They fit better than any athletic shoe I’ve ever had, with enough room in the toe box without slipping in the heel. (My foot is a bit triangular (wide ball and narrow heel.) Swiss Masai Men’s Also, they make me look a little taller. I absolutely love them.

MBTs Are Something Else! I bought a pair of these shoes in gray about a month ago, and so far I love them. I have worn them walking on the treadmill at the gym and once walking outdoors on asphalt, and they are very comfortable. I can definitely tell that my posture is better while I’m wearing them, and they are pleasingly bouncy. Because the shoes are very heavy, running may prove to be a challenge, but I’ll give it a try. As usual, delivery was quick and flawless. I’ve never had a bad experience from Zappos!

MBT - These shoes immediately made me stand taller, and after the first couple of days, I actually could feel my legs getting tighter. I have been wearing them every day, everywhere; walks on the beach, lunch at Balthazar in NYC… They aren’t pretty, but with posture this good, no one is looking at my shoes. Now I feel I need the high model. They are worth every penny.
October 28th, 2007 at 5:39 am
Shoe helps my back - I had some friends rave about these shoes which made me curious enough to try them, despite the high price. They are a little clunk-y looking and heavy but I have worn them on several long shopping trips and have found them to be very comfortable. Usually after a short time walking around, my feet and back start hurting but wearing these shoes does seem to help with that. Would have rated the shoe 5 stars overall except the price is so high.
October 28th, 2007 at 5:39 am
Cool! I thought at first that I would “feel it more”, but I didn’t. Then I had my second and third day in the shoes. I totally felt the movement and my legs working. I wear a size 8 and ordered an 8, they work great. I think people who complain about the size didn’t look at the DVD (which Zappos DID send). If you look at the DVD and pay attention to the directions, the shoes are fantastic. I just wish they didn’t look quite so janky. I can tell they are orthopaedic shoes.
October 28th, 2007 at 5:39 am
I needed a good supportive shoe to help with my worsening plantar fasciitis. As a nurse, I stand 12 hours a day, and I was amazed to find that this shoe really helps. My posture is better, my back feels better, and I feel as if everything falls into alignment when I wear them. They’re worth the price; orthotics are more expensive and don’t do as much.

Just got mine… I’m still trying to get used to these. My heel slipped terribly at first, but when I went to the MBT website, it showed that you should rest your foot on the heel when tying them, rather than sliding your foot forward. When I did this, I was able to tie them tighter, and my heel does not slip. We’ll see if I keep them… I’ll wear them around the carpet at work.

Amazing shoes - worth every penny - My sister owns two pairs of MBT and recommended these to me. I had my doubts but I’m really convinced that these are worth the money. My feet are flat and they get tired or sore after I walk an hour or so no matter how comfortable the shoes I’m wearing are. I haven’t had any pain whatsoever since I’ve worn these shoes. I walk 2-5 miles a day. I look forward to wearing these shoes every morning. I haven’t put any other shoes on since I got these MBT shoes. My legs and butt feel tight and muscular after I walk in these shoes and my feet are not sore. What more can I ask? I highly recommend these.

White MBT sneaker - I was hoping this sneaker would give me a little more of a workout when I walk my dog or go out with my toddler, since I don’t feel I have a lot of time to workout in general. I did feel I got a little more of a workout, but not much. I think the white sneaker looks ok, but my husband says it looks a bit funny when I am standing around because my toes seem to point up. I notice that although I’ve only had the sneakers a couple of weeks, that there are horizontal creases in the cushy part of the shoe sole under the heel. I am going to watch to make sure it doesn’t deteriorate. I did watch the DVD. So, I think I am walking in them correctly. They are kind of fun to wear, but I doubt I would buy them again since I don’t really feel like they are adding that much to what I do in terms of getting a workout.

Burn, Baby, Burn!!! These shoes kick butt! Although not attractive, they definitely work your muscles. Walking in them does not feel like walking in sand, but you can feel the burn in your shins/hamstrings/butt like you would if you walked in the sand or any other soft surface. I think that they run small. I had to order a half size up. My heels slip with each step but maybe that is common with the Sport Low model. I don’t have any blisters on my heel and the half size smaller shoe was way too small. I have plantar fasciitis and overpronate on my right foot; so far, I have had no problems.
