Our doctor recommended MBT's for my son's injured foot. We are very happy with the results. This style looks like a school shoe and it helps him work on the stability of his ankle.

Still getting used to this shoe. I had to order a half size too big since that was the only size available and the shoes definately feel big. I am still in the breaking in period and the only thing that seems to be bothering is the tongue of the shoe. Maybe since the shoe is too big that is why I have this issue, but otherwise a very nice shoe. Will consider buying another pair in my proper size.

I walk on them all the time. My knees are not hurting any more. The cushioning of MBT makes the other walking shoes or sneakers a joke. The shoes are heavier than average so it takes a while to get used to. Be careful for ankle twist if not used to thicker soles. I got two more pairs right after to spare!!

I walk all day long. So far my feet have not had any pain as before. The shoes seem a bit too wide and the tongue moves out of place. So far am satisfied with wear, but feel that the price is more than I would normally pay....worth it?...so far probably.

I had an ankel fusion and could not walk without pain. My doctor told me about these shoes with a sole that would roll with my gate and has given me back my life. I am a wedding photographer and have to be on my feet up to 8 hours and before I found MBT I could not stand without pain at all and now I can walk and stand without my cane or crutches. They are expensive and that is how I found footwear etc who always has the best prices, [...] I have told many friends who have told my Thank you in response. Thank you guys, Tom Skeen, St. Louis MO

I have recently developed a lower back problem and was told about MBT by a friend. It is absolutely amazing how these shoes create good posture and help develop core strength for back support.

MBT's are great shoes to give you knee pain relief. I suffered an injury playing Tennis a couple of years ago. I don't have insurance to actually have my knee fixed, and the pain, although bearable most days, has been extremely uncomfortable. I decided to try some of the higher priced shoes to see if they would make much of a difference, and these sure have. One of the downfalls to MBT shoes is they do not come in wide. However, they do have a couple of styles that fit wider than others. This is one of them. Another is the sport low. So if you have a wider foot these are great. They do require some break in, but it is so worth it!

MBTs have made a huge difference for me! Here's the story: I'm a 20 year veteran long-distance runner who was sidelined by the 1-2 punch of plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma (pinched nerve). My first solution attempt was custom orthotics from the foot doctor. They helped some, but I was still limping. Then I switched to wearing cushioned running shoes all the time. After that, I bought arch supports from the Good Feet chain. With these changes, I was able to resume running short distances, but long walks were out of the question. Finally, (and probably exasperated from hearing my complaints!) my wife suggested MBT shoes. It took a few days to warm up to the prices, but all the positive reviews from foot pain sufferers convinced me to open my wallet. Please believe when I write that THEY ARE WORTH IT!!!! After a month of MBT, my foot maladies are in complete remission. I could tell from my first stand that they were going to make a difference. It felt as though all my weight was supported by my arches. This relieved the stress on my pinched nerve (in the ball of my foot) as well as the plantar fasciitis. Two weeks ago I did my first hike in years, a 10 mile round trip to Feather Falls in CA. Thanks to the MBTs, I completed the hike without the excruciating foot pain that accompanied previous hikes. Despite my efforts to be careful, I managed to scuff the shoes on a couple of rocks, but they cleaned right up with a damp cloth. The MBTs appear to be ruggedly constructed of quality leather. Finally, sore calf muscles on the following day suggest that MBTs really do work different muscles than conventional shoes. I am so satisfied with MBTs that I bought a second pair so I could alternate between them. Except for running, they are now my only shoes. The only nit I can find to pick with MBT is that the shoes are heavier than what I am used to, but I haven't noticed the weight while walking in them. Only when I pick them up.

These shoes were for my husband. I have been wearing MBT sandals for a couple of years now. I have problem feet & they work great for me. Very comfortable. So far, my husband is impressed too & is wearing his MBTs every day.
