A great shoe, an even better price

I have a serious neurological problem, and among other things, walk with a pronounced bending forward at the waist, and have balance problems. This shoe is working wonders with both.

This is an expensive shoe, but Amazon had it on sale, which was almost too good to pass up.

They work for me

When I pay this much for a pair of shoes, my expectations match the price. They do everything MBT states in the DVD packaged with the shoes. Shoes that come with a DVD on how to use them and what to expect!? The only demerit is a minor defect in the stitching on the facing by the upper eyelets. Kudos to Amazon for its gracious return/exchange policy. It helps with confidence in the fitting process.

MBT is good but expensive

I have several pairs of MBT's they are expensive but they are very well built and do exactly what they claim. I am very happy with them. Having said that the new skecher shapes ups are also well built and do exactly what they claim and are less than half the price. I am converting to the skechers. I walk 20 miles almost everyday and shoes are very important to me i waited until i couls get 100 miles on my skechers before writing this reveiw. I normally wear MBT's for 750 miles and beleive the skechers will do the same thing no problem.

Good luck to all both brands are good but the edge goes to skechers for price alone.

Best Shoes on Earth

MBT shoes are by far the best shoes on earth. They are very much worth the price. It takes a little time to get used to the way you walk, but quickly you will find your balance and the comfort is unsurpassed. It is like walking on a ball when you first put them on and some people will find this a little scary and not want to try them. Believe me, you get used to it quickly. Your calf muscles will adjust and tone over time, and soon you will be convinced that owning any other brand is out of the question. I own five pairs in different styles including this one, all very comfortable. You won't feel like you are walking on floors, cement, or any other surface ever again.
