THIS IS THE BEST SHOE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I HAVE HAD BACK SURGERY, AND HAVE PAIN IN MY BACK, LEGS AND FEET EVERY DAY FROM STANDING. I ALSO HAVE PLANTAR FASCIITIS IN MY FEET. THESE SHOES HAVE BEEN A BLESSING, NOW I CAN GO FOR WALKS AND GO SHOPPING WITH OUT THE PAIN. THE ONLY THING I HAVE BAD TO SAY ABOUT THESE SHOES IS THAT THEY COULD BE WIDER IN THE TOE AREA...

I love these shoes! I have very flat feet and have long used orthodics, both Rx and over-the-counter. Even so, my heels frequently hurt--a lot. My MBT Sports are SO comfortable, largely because my heels don't even touch the ground! The design of the shoe, plus the rocking-motion way of walking, taught in the DVD included with the shoes, keeps me off my heels while at the same time giving me good arch support. My husband says these shoes even improved my posture immediately, just by the way one stands in them. This is great for my back and legs. I wear my MBTs to work, where I am on my feet for hours at a time, walking around or just standing. Before I got these shoes, I was a lot more tired and sore at the end of the day. These shoes are beautifully made and the DVD they come with is a great idea. It doesn't take long at all to get used to walking in them, although sometimes I forget to use that rolling motion when I take that first step. I'm sure this will become more automatic over time. Probably the most challenging thing to do in them is just to stand still! They lend themselves much more to rocking. That's fine with me, though, because I like to do that anyway, to keep my knees from locking. Please note that I marked "feels a half size too small" in order to alert people that these shoes tend to run small. Actually, the ones I bought fit fine, but that's because I ordered them a little bigger (European size 39 for my usual size 8). The sizes are a little weird, the EUR sizes probably being a bit more precise than US sizes. Try to talk to someone who knows these shoes to get your best size. All in all, I am very happy with my MBT Sport shoes. I love to wear them. One amazing thing about them is that, although they are very heavy to pick up, they feel very light on my feet! All that cushioning is like walking on a cloud!

I had both joints in my ankle fused and had no weight bearing for three months on my foot and now have no motion up or down or from sided to side in my foot. I got these shoes 2 weeks after I was able to start walking again and with these I was able to walk MUCH better and almost pain free. After wearing them 2 weeks, while in my shoes, I hardly have any limp. Each week gets better and I believe my walking strength is from these shoes.

Before I satrted wearing MBT's I had problems with my knees and ankles. I had back pain and couldn't stand or walk great distances. I am a nurse and the above was a real strain for me. After wearing my 1st pair of MBT's within the firt 24 hours my knees, ankles and back no longer hurt. I now have a total of 8 pairs of MBT's. I rarely wear anything else.

Mom's very first pair of MBT shoes which I gave her as birthday gift. She's retired now and she uses this pair for her morning & afternoon walks around the block.

This is my 3rd pair of MBT's and I have no complaints. The price could be a little less and I wish there was an easier way to clean them. I know without a doubt that I walk better and have more energy wearing MBT's compared to wearing regular tennis shoes. I wear them every day to work and am very please with MBT shoes.

I have major foot problems and took a chance when I bought these at a retail store. When I put them on, there was an instant feeling of comfort, alignment, and energy when I started walking. I have had these for 2-1/2 months and walk 3-4 times a week - best of all I have dropped 1 pants size!! Ladies, if you go on a walking program with these shoes, you can bet you will lose at least some weight. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

These are the best sneakers I have ever had. Easy to walk and wear anytime. Very to order online and had the sneakers in 2 days. Was a very good experience and will order again in the future.

Ihave 2 pairs of MBTs and love both of them. i have had back pain for years after a car accident and felt that they were worth a try for some relief. Since I bought the first pair the back pain is gone most of the time and minimal when present. I would like to own more of them but the cost is a real issue. I am grateful for the back pain relief though so will try to buy more as I can.

Comments:

I would not buy another pair of these. I added an arch support to help with my high arches. But it is not a very comfortable shoe to wear. It is too bulky feeling and makes your feet very warm. Being a gym addict, I cannot really wear these there as they are too heavy for cardio or any weight exercising. As for the benefits advertised for posture, etc., it does keep you in alignment and also helps you with muscle gain as you are always balancing yourself when you stand still. When you walk you feel it in your legs, etc. and this part of the shoe is what keeps me wearing it.

I had severe fasciitis prior to wearing these shoes. They mandate perfect posture, fixing other ailments besides.

Comments:

the shoes help with my hip pain from being on my feet so much and also sneaks in a little workout at the same time. they are pricey but they are the best choice for me compared to others I have tried. Great for walking...not so much pounding the pavement but rather like walking in sand.

I am in the medical profession and on my feet a lot, I have had a knee replacement and was having pain in the other knee, I got the shoe and immediately began wearing it all day, no break in period. My legs do not feel as tired and I missed the shoe on week ends, I ordered a sandal so that I never have to be without this great support. Thank you.

I found it wonderful to walk with but next time I would order a half size larger to fit in my last little toes! Hopefully they will stretch with use.

These shoes are great for walking on concrete. I work at a chemical plant; my back and legs no longer hurt. I give full credit to these shoes.
