Great Posture! I couldn’t live without my MBT’s! They keep me head high, shoulders back and back straight as a board. I love them. I ordered White, I absolutely love them. They are great for walking, however I find that running on the treadmill is not suitable for this shoe. I use Adidas for extremes sports. But, the MBT’s are worth every penny spent for they truly come through on body posture and tons of relief! Buy them and enjoy them
I purchased these shoes hoping I would get relief for lower back ache and knee pain. My job has me on my feet most of the day and I am able to wear the shoes about six hours a day. The swelling and pain behind my knees is reduced by wearing the shoes. The shoes are not very good looking, and vanity doesn’t allow me to wear them out on the street. I highly recommend them for people with similar problems. Now I know what all the hype is about. From the moment I put them on, I loved them! I walk straighter and I have less back pain. I had no problem getting used to walking in them, but the instructional DVD was interesting. Well worth the extra money.
Not For Me - It looks like I disagree with most of the reviewers out there. I was looking for a comfortable walking shoe with a lot of cushion. I really wanted to like these shoes, but could not get used to them. As your foot pivots to take a step, it feels like walking on a lump of gel right at the arch of the foot. I always felt off balance — as though I was going to tip over. I really don’t want to have to “train” to get used to a pair of shoes. And these shoes are just too expensive, so they went back. Michael Kors Sloan Boots for Women’s.This is an amazingly comfortable shoe. When you first put it on you get this odd teetering bouncy feeling, but you adjust in no time. I wished I could keep them on permanently, and when cooler weather comes I probably will. The negative heel is wonderful for posture.
Happy feet - I work in retail and walk approximately four miles a day on the job. I have arthritis in my hips and back and am always looking for shoes that will help ease the day. UN-BELIEVABLE! How pain free I have been since starting to wear the MBTs. I have slept without back pain for two weeks since wearing these MBTs and my workday fatigue has been greatly reduced. I had been thinking I would need to retire or work part time due to daily pain, but with these, I am good to go! I just ordered the MBT sandal today because I want another pair. They are weird to walk in the first few minutes, but they have caused my New Balances to go to the back of the closet.
How Do You Spell Relief! My knee, hip and back pain–caused by sciatic and arthritic problems–have been kept somewhat at bay by periodic shots, but MBT sandals are the best answer yet. I’m close to being 75, but a ten-day vacation involving much walking was made pain free by these great shoes, and at the end of a full day of activity I still was rarin’ to go. Michael Kors Sloan Boots. I wish there were some cold-weather styles that didn’t look so klutzy, but I guess I’ll just wear socks and sandals all winter.
Serious Workout Walking Shoe - I’ve owned this expensive shoe for over a year and highly recommend it ONLY for exercise walks on flat paved surfaces. The shoe is quite heavy; The rounded shape of the sole promotes shorter steps, an upright walking position, and spreads weight impact away from your heels and towards the center of your feet — great for people with arthritis and or foot problems. After my first few extended walks (good workouts), I felt muscle fatigue and some minor stiffness/burn in my calves, thighs, buttocks, and stomach. However, after more walking workouts the stiffness subsided. This is a serious exercise walking shoe — not a fashion shoe. Also, never squat in these shoes in a manner that bends your toes backwards, otherwise the stiff fiberglass sole plate can break and this breakage is not covered under warranty. People who are considering this shoe should first view the DVD provided, or on MBT’s website, and walk around indoors; the feeling is totally different from any other shoe that I’ve ever worn.
Good to your feet - My sister told me about Crocs shoes, her daughter gave them to her for Mother’s Day. I must admit they are like bedroom slippers for your feet. I have constant foot pain from walking and standing on cement floors all day, and the Crocs are heaven to put on when I get home. I tried them at work, but there was not enough support in them for a 8 hour day. But I love them for a house and errand shoe. Zappos is the best site I have found on the Internet. Great ,fast service and no questions asked when you return. I will buy from Zappos again and again.
Disappointed! It’s true that they are very soft and comfortable but they looked laughably ENORMOUS on. (Want to make your size 8 feet look like a size 10 Order these shoes.) I wear Birkenstocks often so I am accustomed to “ugly” shoes, but these looked too strange even for me. Also, while they fit in the forefoot, the heel area was strangely long and wide, which left the strap so far away from my heel that it just flopped around uselessly. If the fit had been better I might have kept them for yard work, as they are definitely comfortable. If you need a soft, forgiving shoe and you don’t have a small or narrow heel, you might enjoy these.
These shoes are great, the best in my closet. They feel weightless, they are so light that they can float! They look great and are very comfy. I am a shoe maniac, so believe me when I say that these shoes are some of the best shoes on the market today. They feel weightless, they are so light that they can float!

I get asked about them at least daily. I work at REI, where we sell them but not in orange, and they are the only shoes I will wear to be on my feet for 8 hours. I thought they were just plastic shoes, like jellies from when I was a kid, but they’re way better - super comfy, fun, and worth every penny. a new trend for teens!! Bought a pair for my granddaughter for work and everyone wanted to know where she got them..comfortable and fashionable too. Bought another pair for her girlfriend and now looking to get a pair for me
