I Have been wearing these everyday instead of my birkenstocks and I find they are definitely more comfortable to walk in and are improving my posture. Unlike the main MBT style, these have got a style angle you can work with. they don't stand out as a therapeutic shoe so much. They are quite fun to wear and look great with shorts and skirts, looking almost like a trendy platform shoe. I am very happy with these MBT's.

I wear them to work quite often. I am always on my feet on tiled floors and up and down stairs. They are very comfortable and have helped relieve pain in my knees while walking in them - I have arthritis in both knees. I have received numerous comments on how good they look and several friends have also purchased them. I would suggest a 1/2 size larger than what you normally purchase.

I suffer from knee pain and stand on my feet all day. By the end of the day, my knees and feet hurt. MBT shoe have been my saving grace. By wear the MBT's shoes, I have had less knee pain and am able to stand all day without pain. I purchase the Habari sandals so that I could wear them as a dress shoe and still be comfortable all day. I am a true believer in the MBT's shoes.

I have the Kisumu and Staka style sandals and these new Hibari sandals have an even more comfortable footbed that is very close to the ones found in MBT shoes. Also, their appearance is more dressy and conventional than the Kisumu which are quite bulky and the Staka which are more beachy looking. The Hibari sandals are very versatile as they go with just about all casual clothing. I have issues with my knees, but I am able to wear these comfortably all day long. I'm very satisfied!

I love the looks of this sandal. I bought them to wear on vacation in Cancun for extensive walking. It started out causing my big toes to go numb. I've stretched it a little and that's changing. Even tho it caused that, I could still wear the shoe for a good amount of time. My left foot is a 6 and my right foot is a 5.5. I ordered a 6 and it does run a little small on my left foot. I can really feel the muscles used in my legs at the end of the day. I like that it's working them. I was surprised when I got a DVD with the shoes telling me I had to learn to walk in them. I'm being patient and wearing them a little bit at a time. I still don't have them totally broken in for my vacation in 3 weeks. I like them enough to make it happen.

MBT shoes have saved my foot. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and had to take a prescription daily to get some relief, but even then sometimes it was painful to walk. Since I started wearing MBTs I have been able to cut back to a prescription pill every third day. I can walk again without pain!!! I know it is the shoes because through a bizarre set of circumstances my MBTs were left behind when we went to Walt Disney World and I was back to barely being able to walk. I never want to be without my MBTs ever again.

This is not a normal shoe. It is designed to build strength and you can feel it instantly. Calf, thigh, buttocks muscles are worked. Posture is improved easily. The shoe is the best and most tiring shoe I've ever worn. You have to wear the shoe over a 2 week period to get accustomed to it but once you do, you'll really enjoy wearing it. Order your exact shoe size, not what you comfortably wear. I usually wear 9.5 or 10 comfortably, but this shoe is a 9 and that's why it works so well for the body.Only con is its [$] a pair, but well worth it.

This is my second pair of MBT's. My first was a Walking Shoe which I could not do without. The sandel was needed for warm weather and for casual dress. It does serve the purpose quit well, althogh the walking shoe offers more support. I have stopped shopping for any other type of shoe because I can walk in MBT's with less pain. The amazing thing is that people stop me and ask what kind of shoe I am wearing. They are stylish enough that I even passed the teenage granddaughter test, which is not easy. I am recommending them to anyone that asks about them.
