Excellent Shoe

I purchased these shoes from a Comfort One shoe store near Chinatown, DC- I originally walked in to buy some sandals so I could wear a sundress and walk DC comfortably. ...Yes, and I walked out wearing sneakers. 240$ sneakers, nonetheless.

Anyhow, I'm pretty fit, so I spent a good 7 hours walking DC in the shoes, despite their warnings to not use them for more than 4 hours in the beginning. My family nearly had to forcibly remove the shoes from my feet they were so comfortable. While I was a little sore the next day, it wasn't enough to convince me that I should "Work up" to wearing the shoes. I think that must be for people who can't handle soreness. To compare, it's a lot like walking in sand. Not too much sand. Just enough.

So. It's been a month.
You can immediately note a change in posture- and when you put on a pair of "regular" shoes, you will probably feel as though your foot is being tortured. I own a perfectly comfortable pair of Sketchers Loafers that were ridiculously ridiculously comfortable prior to the MBTs, and my feet cannot bear the thought of them. They also can't bear the thought of flip flops, heels, or my training shoes. I'm not sure if I need to alternate or find other ridiculously expensive shoes that pleasure my foot.

I've lost some weight- but who knows if that's because of my efforts to keep my blood sugar levels stable or thanks to my weight training switch up. My legs look good- but is that the result of dead lift squats? All in all, I can't really say anything about the toning effects of these shoes- I know they work, but I don't know how well. I imagine I'd have to be a nearly sedentary woman going from 30 minute walks in regular shoes to 30 minute walks in MBTs to really know the truth of the matter.


What I do know is these are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned and they were worth every dollar.

Great product

I am addicted to these shoes, as a nursing student they are incredible. But I wish they were in all white!!

Great product, quick delivery

thanks!

pretty pleased

am a moderate exerciser. nothing fancy or extreme. just little things to keep in shape over 40... like parking away from the front door. tried on the new Sketchers. didn't feel right. kept thinking about them. went to Amazon for reviews. kept reading about MBT. compared prices & reviews. think MBT is better made & definately liked more. MBT is comfortable on foot. takes some getting used to if have never done an anti-shoe. i mostly wear around house. had back surgery 10 years ago. i must say there are chores that MBT makes more comfortable on my back... like raking leaves, doing dishes, vacuuming. it's not like "a miracle" yet there is no ache in the small of my back at the end of the day. as for the other effects too early to tell as have only had 2 weeks. i am pretty pleased with the price, product & purchase.

Only Wear MBT's.

First experience walking with MBT's, was of ease and pain relief. Now, with my MBT's, using walking poles, and stretching exercises, I easily walk/excercise 2-3 miles @ day, have absolutely no discomfort, cane or orthotic inserts. The curved sole also stimulated and help reinstate my balance.

Previously wore Mephisto walking shoes with doctor prescribed orthotic inserts. Experiencing a serious injury and having recovered from a trimalleleor fracture, several herniated discs and extensive soft tissue damage, there was also age related significant degenerative spine disease. With serious balance issues, leg, hip, back, ankle and/or foot discomfit/pain, I could not easily walk or stand and relied on a cane. Then came MBT shoes!!

UH.........WOW!

These are amazing! Yes, you can actually believe the hype. Walking in them is completely different than any normal shoe. You can feel them working...literally! I was always finding an excuse not to walk everyday with my gal pals. I've been asking them daily if we are walking so I can wear my shoes!!
