What is MBT?
Masai Barefoot Technology or MBT is not just a shoe in the ordinary sense ? it is a revolutionary fitness aid from SwissMasai. This product will not only change the way you use your muscles, but will improve the use of your joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole, combined with correct training, achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk.
What are the benefits?
- Strengthens tones muscles in the feet, legs, buttocks, stomach and back
- Increases muscle activity circulation which may help reduce cellulite and varicose veins
- Relieves muscular tension, back and joint problems
- Leads to a relaxed upright posture and gait
How does it work?
Through its unique design of its multilayered sole, mBT transforms flat, hard, artificial surfaces into natural uneven surfaces, simulating the walking action of our barefoot ancestors.
Unlike most conventional training shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction of mBT challenges the sole, and the muscles used to form your posture, to be more active.
This reactive, more supportive muscle action increases shock absorption for joints and discs.
Walking more upright not only looks better but automatically makes us healthier and stronger. The back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient. mBT lengthens and strengthens the whole body while standing, walking or in gentle running.
The function of mBT is similar to that of balancing a ball under the foot.
Increased input-response makes it easier for the musculature to react adequately. After ground contact there is a rolling movement, starting from a negative heel position (1). This creates a pre-stretch of the calf muscles. The straightening of the body, the balancing on the mid-foot (2) and the pull-through of the step to the back (3) initiates a rotation, which follows through the whole body. This results in an active and natural posture and gait.

this is the best rubber shoes that i have ever used, i have a herniated disc injury and was told that mbt is the shoes perfect to wear with this injury and so i decided to buy one online. so i tried it on and it felt so comfortable and so good to walk with. i am a nurse and used to stand for several hours a day and with this shoes on it really helps me prevent myself from having back pain. i my case when i started using it, i never felt the soreness in any of my muscles. for me i will never buy any kind of shoes, but mbt only. it may be expensive but its worth it.

I have a heel problem and these are the best because I am not pounding on my heel when I walk. I wanted to try them, but didn't want to pay the full price. Thsnk you for having such a great sale. I love the orange color. I love walking outside or on the treadmill. [...] I was alittle confused about ordering a full size bigger, because all my walking or running shoes I order a full size larger. These were perfect at one size up.

Following surgery last year, the only exercise I am permitted is walking. I bought these shoes with high expectations of getting in shape, and they have exceeded every one. I LOVE my MBT's, and have increased my walking routine simply for the pleasure it brings me. The cardio and muscular benefits are superb. Once out of shape, now I'm fit and feeling great!

My ankle was fused due to a car accident, so I was not sure these shoes would work for me-what a pleasant surprise! They make walking so much easier! My foot doesn't supplinate, as it does in other tennis shoes. They look odd, but in this case, so worth it! The sale price was an added bonus..will get another pair in the fall

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I love the shoe, the design is bright and colorful. I wish I would have gotten a whole size larger than what I usually wear. They feel ok for a while, then my toes start to hurt and I know that's because they are a little too small for me. MBT's are nice because they help me to stand up straighter when I'm walking and I am more aware of my posture. A great shoe, but I should have gotten a larger size.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I was so anxious to get these shoes. I wear a size 7 or 7and1/2 so I ordered an 8. They felt a little snug when I put them on but some of the reviews I read said they might. I wore them for my walk, after 15 min, I knew they were too small. For the last mile of my walk, my feet hurt so bad that I had to take them off. The bad part is that I stepped in a huge mud puddle and now they are stained so I don't feel that I can return them. It is a shame because I know that I would love them in the right size. As soon as I can save enough money, I am going to order them in a size eight and half. Long story short, they do run very small!!!!!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I got these, but they aren't as bad looking as I thought they might be. I have had them 4 weeks and I walk 2-4 miles 3-4 times a week and I can completely see a noticable improvement in my legs - they have more definition, are slimmer and stronger looking. Since having these, 3 of my friends have now bought them based on the changes they've seen in the appearance of my legs, butt and stomach.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I'm a checker at a grocery store, and am on my feet ALL DAY. I have found these shoes to be very comfortable, and have had no problem transitioning from regular tennis shoes to MBTs. I did order 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, and that seems to work. I have had surgery on one of my toes a couple of times, and these shoes don't seem to have a very wide toe box, resulting in some discomfort. I would have these shoes in other styles and colors, if they were a little less pricey.

I work in a retail garden center. I am on hard pavement all day and in spring time I'm constantly in motion. I am a heel walker and am very hard on my shoes. I was having a lot of trouble with my back and knees and these shoes have already lessened some lower back pain and knee pain I'd been expeiencing. They also make me focus on my posture. I have had many people ask me about them and so far have not found a negative to tell people. 3 of my customers are now MBT fans just like me. I love these shoes!!

I heard about this product through a friend. I could feel this product working right when I first put them on. I walk about 10 kilometres every day with my dog and was looking for both comfort and support for my lower back which I have found in this unique technology.
I would recommend buying a half size larger. I am an 8 and needed an 8.5.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I have 7 different types of MBT shoes. They are all I wear. Since I began wearing MBTs I have less pain in my knees, hips, and lower back. I am in my late 40's and have degenerative disc disease in both knees. Next to my glucosomine, I have found these shoes to be the ticket to easing daily pain. This particular pair does run about 1/2 size small. I have found almost all MBTs to run about 1/2 size small. I have a fairly average foot and rarely need a shoe outside a size 7, except with MBTs I seem to wear 7 1/2 in almost all styles. So for me, ordering online, going just a 1/2 size larger has proven to put me in the right size.

These shoes cause one to use different muscles than normal walking shoes or working out at the health club. I can feel muscles in the back of my legs tightening, but it is not uncomfortable. The shoes force you to stand up straighter, improve your posture, and think about how you are walking. All in all- a good investment and a good walking shoe.

Until I bought my first pair of these shoes, my running days were over because of the shooting pain and numbness in my feet and legs. Now I can walk and jog to my heart's content without pain or discomfort. The design comopletely eliminates the painful pressure on the balls of the feet.
The shoes have held up well, but I snapped up another pair while I had the chance.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I've been watching the prices on MBT's for about a year now. When I saw them at this great price, I couldn't resist and I couldn't be happier! I'm a student at a hospital where I also work part-time & spend the majority of the day on my feet walking & standing for long periods of time. These MBT's did take a few days to get used to, but after breaking them in, I'll never wear another shoe at the hospital ever again! They're extremely "cushy" and also give a feeling of being propelled forward as you walk. I could also feel a big difference when standing. These shoes definately force you to maintain your balance through their "rocking" motion. I have noticed on days where I do stand for long periods, my thighs will be a bit sore at night. Definately recommened these to anyone working in the medical profession or those who are constantly on their feet.

from Hillsborough, NC on 4/8/2009
Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
This shoe is definitely a half size small. Although I went up a half size, I stil have to make sure my toenails are neatly trimmed or I run into the bottom. I love the way my foot is cradled in these shoes. Amazingly, they look rather cute although I had expectations that they would be rather cumbersone looking. The absolutely best thing about these shoes is that my feet are pointing straight ahead when walking. I usually tend to walk with my toes pointing more or less to the side. Because of the different, and better, alignment I initially experienced some discomfort - big toe and calves. I'm also gaining flexibility in the foot which was operated on almost 2 years ago. Love 'em!

After years of working on concrete, my foot-cushion across the ball was shot. MBTs give me the quick roll-over plus the ball cushion I need. I'm now retired, but do a lot of walking on my farm and on birding vacations. The MBTs allow me to walk as much and as far as I want. My only complaint is that they break down too fast, so I always try to buy on sale. Carole Ludwig, DVM

A customer at our shop was wearing MBTs and recommended them to us. At first, they looked weird; now they look cool! We tried them on at a mall shop to get the right size, but the ones that came in the mail were too small. Other writers' comments on size are correct: they run smaller than one's normal size. We worked with FootwearEtc three times to get 'em right. It was worth it: my wife loves 'em! [...]We'll buy again, for sure.

These shoes are great. You do need to order 1/2 a size larger than you would normally wear though. The shoes take about 2 days to get used to and feel heavier than regular shoes but you really FEEL the difference in about a week between when you wear these shoes and "regular" athletic shoes. If they weren't so expensive, I would only buy MBT shoes from now on!!

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
Be sure to purchase 1/2 size bigger than you normally wear as these don't run true to size. It takes some getting used to with the rocking sole, but quite energizing after a while. They feel heavier than my regular Nike shoes, but then it adds to the workout. These were great when walking on hard surfaces, but hard to keep balance when walking on wooded off trail..and very hard walking up hill on a grassy area. Perhaps this is just because I've not had sufficient time in this shoe. Ease into the wear rather than jumping into the deep end with a couple mile walk at the outset. Although bright orange isn't my first preference, the discounted rate caught my eye as I have been wanting to try a pair for a long time now. After getting them, they are "fun" in the bright orange and doesn't bother me that they don't match my outfit...I consider them to be reflective in nature and works for me. If you're thinking about buying versus not, I would highly recommend these shoes if you want that additional workout of the legs and behind, as well as working for your posture.

These are such fun shoes (men won't understand). They are so comfortable, and they really do correct my posture. I've been wearing them for everyday running around, even in my home, which is unheard of, as I'm the barefoot queen. Haven't tried seriously working out in them yet, but have had no problems with anything I've done in them, thus far. I'm so glad I read the other reviews before ordering, because my normal size would have been too small. I think I'm hooked on MBT's.

Luckily I had tried a pair of these shoes on in a random store, so I new they ran half a size small. I wore them out as soon as I got them in the mail and absolutely love them. I will admit that they take some getting used to, but I could see results right away. I cannot help but have great posture wearing these, which is why I really wanted to try them. I wear them to work everyday and can definitely feel the difference in my muscles. I wear them on alternating walks because I am still getting used to how much more of a workout they can be on long walks. I will definitely be wearing them all the time as soon as I can.

I have other MBT shoes and decided to purchase this athletic style for exercise walking since I am unable to do much running because of a back injury. These shoes are a bit heavier than conventional running shoes and will not be suited for running. But these are great to walk around while keeping your posture straight and training the leg muscles while relieving pressure on knee joints and back. I highly recommend these shoes!

I ordered half a size larger as recommended. I have small feet also so they fit just right. Although I wouldn't run in these shoes they are great for walking and everyday. I am an Equestrian, which takes a terrible tole on my back. These shoes really help reduce a lot of the back pain I had. I also have good balance from being an equestrian, so I didn't have any of the balancing issues so many people talk about.

I use these shoes twice a day when i walk my dog (AM & PM). They are great because my legs feel like they are getting a better work out. The biggest issue I have with MBTs are that they are massive looking. I hate wearing them w/ shorts bec they look so big. I feel that neighbors can see me coming from a mile away.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
Perfect posture comes with the shoes! You can't slouch without naturally correcting position. Long term users find posture improvements stay even when you're not wearing the shoes (as your body retrains), and your leg and hip muscles are gently exercised throughout the day, increasing tone. I am easily able to transition between MBTs and 'regular' shoes. As time goes by my shoe inventory is becoming more MBT as they add beautiful new styles - great sandals and shoes perfect for the office (for both men and women)! [...]P.S. If you're concerned about using MBTs or giving them to someone middle-aged or older - I wouldn't be. I have some balance issues from a small stroke and on bad days I have to use a cane. I put on my first pair of MBTs and after a little practice (5 minutes?) on cornering quickly and using stairs, I was off and running. MBTs come with an informative DVD that gives how-to info for those who might feel more comfortable with a formal lesson. My feet felt more at home in these than in my New Balance.

These shoes make a long day of working on my feet much more tolerable, even while engaging my core muscles all day. I used to skip the gym after work because my feet and back hurt from standing all day, but now I find myself pain free after a 9 hr shift.

I was impatient and wanted to wear the shoes more than the recommended 30 minutes per day. I have adjusted and I am enjoying the shoes. I have recommended these shoes and would like a black pair that are inconspicous to wear to work on a daily basis.

I am a surgical nurse and am on my feet 10-12 hours every day. Often I am standing in one position in surgery for hours. With these shoes I have no problems with back pain as I did previously. My legs feel energized all day. My feet feel wonderful at the end of the day. I highly recommend them to anyone who stands alot during their day.

The thick sole is great for shock absorption. Living in the city, these are excellent shoes to do a power walk, or walk into town to do errands. Also love how it forces my posture into correct alignment. Try on before you buy as the sizing is tricky.

I purchased these for use as I train for the 2009 Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk. This will be my 2nd walk and last time, I did not spend the money on MBTs and regret it. To me, it's worth the investment as I train to walk 60-miles over the course of 3 days.

This is my second pair of MBT's. I wouldn't spend money on any other kind of sneaker, these are the best! You can tell a difference after one day of wear. I am a teacher and wear them to school at least three days a week. Kids and teachers comment on "what cool shoes I have" little do they know I am fighting cellulite while looking "cool." Well worth the money!!!

I teach in the local High School. I stand on concrete all day. I have had trouble in the past with heel spurs, leg and foot aches. In one week of wearing these MBT shoes I have not had a single pain in my heels, feet, legs, hips, or back. I am amazed at the difference this shoe has made in my comfort. I have recommended MBT's to other teachers in my building. So far 3 others have ordered them as well and they love the shoes. I will be ordering another pair of MBT's soon. I am completely satisfied with my MBT purchase. I am going to Greece in 3 weeks and was worried about the amount of walking, but not now. My MBT's are going to Greece.

On SALE for $100 less, makes my day. These shoes will last more than a year with use 5 to 7 days a week.

I put these on the day they arrived and am amazed at how comfortable they are. They feel wonderful on my feet - very supportive and great for walking. Not only do my feet not hurt, but my knees don't hurt as well. Great for overall alignment of feet, knees, hips and spine. I ordered a full size larger than normal and they fit perfectly.

I'm not a sneaker person so I only wear them at home instead of my slippers and when I work out. It's really fun to walk with them. They almost give the feeling that I walk faster and that I'm lighter. They also make me look taller (I'm 5'2")! I will definitely buy another pair in the future. Unfortunately, they are expensive.

I love the comfort of MBT's. I have completely given up all other types of tennis shoes. I walk 4 miles a day; usually on uneven clay roads and have found I do not have the ankle and foot pain I had with other tennis shoes. I had no difficulty breaking into wearing the shoes. I wear them almost exclusively and am looking for dressier styles.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
For my job and my commute I have to walk a lot and carry a heavy bag. My posture has, over the years, suffered a bit because of these factors. These shoes seem to keep me more balanced (especially in musculature). I don't mind the styling but the shoes are a little clunky looking and are a little heavy. This, however, is only noticeable at the end of the day.

Great shoes, but I had to return to get a whole size larger as the toe box seems very narrow. Now they fit perfect and give tremendous support. Only problem I have is cleaning the bottom treads of the shoes as they are very small and narrow and collect mud easily.

I am training for a 3 day 60 mile walk. I have tried many shoes in the past but something was always a bit "off". My knees don't hurt, my feet feel pretty good and my posture is even better. Definitely watch the dvd which comes with the shoes. The only negative is these shoes take up alot of room in a suitcase and are heavy in a carryon. Other than that they are just what I was looking for all this time!
from atlanta, ga on 2/4/2009
Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
this is my second pair of mbts, and i love the color even more than my first pair. But more than that it makes you conscious of your "core" while squatting, lunging and the like. It's also great for posture, but you are the one that needs to 'check in' and make sure you are standing in the center of the shoe. It literally aids you from going on your toes while squatting. They are fun to wear after the gym too!!!! And only being 5'1" tall, i lOVE the extra height! This is the best price i have found on these shoes, hands down! There is a store in town that has this very pair at [$], sale price!

After buying them I found that not only are they comfortable but I can feel such a difference in the muscles I use when walking and exercising in them. Not only are they good for exercise use but I found that my lower back problems feel significantly better while using these sneakers.
I highly recommend these to anyone trying to better their workout routine or ease back an joint pain.

I have only been wearing my MBT's for about 2 weeks now. I clean houses and am on my feet all day. At first, my low back was killing me but now that has subsided. B/c the shoes make you stand/walk differently it takes some getting used to. My feet used to be so sore all the time and that has improved. I think I will enjoy my new shoes, but the jury is still out.

These are wonderful everyday shoes - not the best for workouts or running, but they were not designed for that. I would mention one thing - be prepared to deal with sizing issues. It's the one con to buying shoes online, and in my personal experience, this shoe runs a FULL size small, and I'm something of an expert on fitting shoes. You might consider getting a full size larger than usual on this shoe - and I'm the owner of multiple pairs of MBT shoes...

They are amazing for butt strength, and overall, I just think they are what everyone needs for walking. I am 60 and am convincing all my friends they need MBTs. They may look a bit wierd, but I don't care because I feel like a new person with spring in my feet.

I purchased these to hopefully relieve foot pain from 12-14 hour work shifts on concrete floors. They have delivered on that score. I have less foot pain and the hip pain I was experiencing has disappeared. These are great if you are on the move. I find they are a little unstable when standing still, but I didn't buy them for standing around. I bought a half size larger after reading the reviews and they fit perfectly. I also get lots of comments from co-workers because these are eye-catching shoes.

These shoes really do improve posture. I read that they were cut small, so I tried them on in my neighborhood shoe store, then bought then at Footwear etc bc they offered the best price.

I'm going to keep it up, though....

I suffered a knee injury and this shoe helps a great deal in alleviating some of the pain associated with walking and running, which I must do in order to stay in shape. I have not noticed any extra improvement in the buttocks region, as the advertisement said, but it definitely helps with taking stress from my knees. I ordered half a size larger and that fit just right. These shoes run small, I guess.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
My kneew were hurting so much that I couldn't walk through a store without getting a cart to help. I got these because they were supposed to help joint pain. They make you feel a little off balance, and you have to think about how you are walking. I didn't think there were helping, since I still had some knee pain. I wore my regular shoes one day, and that night was unable to sleep because my knees hurt, and my legs and feet were cramping. So now I wear them every day. They don't look good, but it is worth giving up looks to be able to walk across the grocery store again. I would recommend getting an entire size larger that the largest size you normally wear. The first paid I bought was only 1/2 size larger, and was too short and too narrow.

I haven't made up my mind about these. I'm glad I got them on sale. I followed the advice to get a 1/2 size larger and I'm glad I did. Even sizing up, I won't be wearing thick socks with these.
As for the effects, I do feel it in my legs and behind after a while. And they are kind of fun to walk in. You can get this bouncy floaty thing going. But they are also incredibly heavy and they don't breathe at all. So I don't know how much wear these will be getting or whether I'll get another pair of these ever. Jury's still out.

I follow the advice and ordered a half size bigger. It fit just right. I didn't have to break it in.
However, my feet are shorter than normal shoe size; I need to tighten my lace or else shoes come off easily. So for people like me(wider feet), remembering to tighten the lace is the key.
I used to have knee and lower back pain when I walk. With MBT, I don't have my pains any more no matter how long I walk or stand.
I also feel the difference in my lower abs when I walk in MBT;I'm not sure it made me work out my lower abs or not but I feel the tension when I walk.

Normally for MBTs I order a 39 2/3 but ordered a 40 1/3 due to the reviews and recommendation. I'm glad I did. These shoes run a bit on the narrow and short side, the larger size made up for that, yet they're not floppy big. They're very comfortable and funky looking, the color is great. I have a pair of MBT Chapas, these are more comfortable for me, and the sole seems a bit less soft than the Chapas. No break in was required, they were comfy right out of the box.

I bought a pair of MBTs about two months ago, and I've experienced amazing benefits from simply walking in them already. I take my dog on walks in them, clean the house, and workout in them. Once you begin wearing them, you begin to notice the results -- my hamstrings felt more toned, my buttocks felt firmer, and my calves began to elongate all within a few days. Now after a couple of months, I've lost nearly two inches in my waistline, I have more energy throughout the latter half of the day, and my posture - even when I'm not wearing these shoes -- has improved.
Thanks for a great foray into a healthy rest of my life!

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I researched this product for over a year and finally decided to take the plunge. I really like the way the shoes improve posture. I wear them on the treadmill and walking in the neighborhood. I notice the instability when I wear them in a conditioning class that has a lot of lunges and squats, so I know they're working to make me engage my core. I tried the shoes on in a store before I ordered them to confirm the correct size. I will definitely purchase another pair.

I found the shoe does not have enough support. The fabric gives too much. This causes the foot to wobble side to side.

they are perfect for being on my feet 12 hours a day in comfort.

I wear my MBTs as often as I can. They are the best shoes--when I'm aching somewhere, I can put on my MBTs and the pain is gone. I love my MBTs & plan to purchase another pair as soon as I have the money & then I will have 2 & can wear them everyday! I don't regret the money I paid for my MBTs.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
This was my 3rd MBT purchase (first from Footwear, Etc.). I love the fit and comfort of the MBT products. After going all day, my legs, back and feet still feel wonderful at the end of the day. Footwear, Etc. offered one of the best prices and the product was received timely (west coast to east coast). MBTs cost much more than I would normally pay for sneakers, but they have lived up to their reputation. I will definitely shop at this store again (and probably for the same product line).

I absolutely love MBT shoes. I have purchased a different style 2 years ago and I loved it- it ended my search for a cure for my plantar fasciitis which I've had for about 5 years. I have tried so many brands, changing to new pair and brand/ style almost every month until somebody mentioned to me about MBT shoes. This has changed my life completely- I have been pain-free for the last 2 years, and I am actually taller when I have them on,awesome. I have recommended this shoes to so many people already and every single one of them love the shoes too. I encourage everyone to get a pair.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
This is a great brand shoe however I wanted a less expensive version just to try it out. These are discontinued for a good reason, really not for the larger US foot - so you gals with a smaller, more slender foot will do fine. NOT for a wide foot. Footwear is an exceptional company & was eager to help. Nothing wrong with this shoe - just didn't work for me.

This shoe is everything that is advertised. I ordered mine a full size larger than I usually wear and it worked great. I went to a store that sells these and tried them on to get a better idea of the correct size and then ordered them online for significantly less. Very, very happy with the purchase. Women have stopped me as I shop to ask me questions about the shoes and how they feel.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
These shoes are comfortable, perform as they are sold to perform. I only use them for going for my exercise walks as I want them to last. I had to order another pair in 1/2 size bigger. Until I received them, I wore my other AVIA's and went for a walk. My feet and knees hurt so bad, I threw them away and walked in the MBT sandals I ordered. I'll never buy/use anything but MBT's to walk. They make you walk correctly, stand up straight, swing your arms, etc., for the best workout.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I never look at errands or working out the same now that I have my MBT shoes. From the first time I put these shoes on I have felt what everyone has been saying about these shoes. When you wear them you feel your muscles working from the inside out. I feel that my workouts are more productive, and now that I have a 15 month old daughter every second that I have to workout counts. Also, if you have joint or back issues, like I do, the shoes really help. Don't let the price point keep you from purchasing these shoes as they are worth it! [...] Also, Footwear etc. had execellent product information as well. What are you waiting for get those MBT shoes!

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I use my MBTs for daily walking for health. The shoes are excellent at lessening the impact when the foot or heel touches the ground. They are extremely well built and very comfortable. My usual size is 9 1/2 and that's what I bought in the MBT. The toe box is snug, and there is not enough arch support for me, so I removed the original shoe liner and replaced it with an arch support liner; now it fits and feels great.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I got these a size too small, and I still wear them because the sole is so awesome--no more restless legs, no more planar fascitis, no more morton's neuroma. sore big toes are a small price to pay. And some folks think they are cute--
this particular model is a bit narrow in the fit also.
I live in NYC, that means a lot of walking on pavement, and MBT's are the only shoes for me.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
MBT shoes overall are amazing for working as a nurse all day on my feet. They also add an extra ummph to my "Elliptical" workout at the gym. I love the way they allow complete range of motion heel to toe, flexing calves and butt in one fluid step. Historically I've been good in buying 1/2 size larger than street shoe, however, the orange piping "onsale" item definitely is short on the toes..would've ordered 1 size up. My daughter, who is wearing them now, doesn't seem to mind that they were just a little too small for me! MBTs rock! Wouldn't go back to another sneaker, ever.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
i bought these to wear in the endoscopy room after reading all the reviews. standing in one place for 20-60 minutes is very hard on the back. The fit was true, but the shoes are heavy & the feet must be broken into the shoe. so they were initially painful
they have helped my knees, but not the low back or posture.
from Baltimore, MD on 11/8/2008
Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I bought these shoes for work - I'm an ER nurse and spend a lot of time on my feet. Although they're kind of ugly, getting through a grueling 12 hour shift without foot/calf/knee pain is worth any price and sacrifice to style. I've received many comments from co-workers and readily recommend they try these shoes, I've even considered adding them to my off work attire.
The initial period of wearing these shoes to learn the balance needed to walk - especially on steps - takes just a little while to adjust to, but once you get use to it your steps feel propelled by the rounded sole.

Pros: corrects posture. makes head up when walking. burns more calory, I guess.
Cons: too heavy. not good for running.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I wear my MBT's every day. I have 3 pairs that I alternate with. I have had a history of shoes not being comfortable and my feet hurting all the time, which isn't good when you are on your feet every day with my career in nursing. I found that I was going through a pair of shoes every 6 months because my feet hurt. I finally went to a neuro-massage therapist and she recommended MBT's as she was trying to release my chronic plantar fascitis. So I got my 1st pair...needless to say I had to have a partial release done but the MBT's help me keep the fascia from regrowning scar tissue and my quality of life has really change. I can now walk and exercise and be happy about life. I recommend MBT's to anyone that has a problem with there feet. P.S. and the toning factor of these shoes is unbelievable!!!!

These shoes are very good for walking, don't run in them:) They give you a great leg workout but I have rheumatoid arthritis and they make my toes go numb after a while, so I have to limit the amount of time I wear them. I do believe they are a bit pricey, I was fortunate enough to get the discontinued color so they were much cheaper. Don't think I would pay regular price for them.

I purchased these shoes out of sheer curiosity as a Personal Trainer. They do give your legs a workout through the range of motion and are comfortable if you have to be on your feet for hours. (I also use them to make my balance training more challenging). Only downer, after 2-3 hours they do tend to get clunky/heavy. All in all a great purchase.

I had heard much fuss over these shoes and finally decided to try them. I wore them around my living room at first, and admit, didn't think much of them. THEN I starting using them for my evening walks and can definitely feel the difference. They provide ample support and really challenge muscles---much more than what you would get from standard shoes. It is a really simple way to add muscle and balance training to something as easy as an evening stroll.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I'm an avid walker, and was admittedly skeptical at first about these particular shoes and their function..But after my first walk in them I felt an IMMEDIATE difference. My calves were on fire, and I found that I had targeted other new muscles- particularly in my backside and core. I DO feel like the results are only truly beneficial if I'm consciously thinking about the technique in every step (as described in the intstructional DVD that comes with the shoes)...When I stay aware of that= awesome workout. I alternate between these and my running shoes every other day to keep my body guessing (and to preserve the life of the shoes.) Best Birthday gift I've received in a long time.:)

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
I tried this product because I have arthritis in one knee that made walking my dogs feel like more of a chore than something fun to do. The shoes have made all the difference! The cushion helps absorb the shock to my knee, even when walking up and down the steep hills we have in San Diego. I hardly think about my knee, so I know the shoes are working. Kudos to MBT!!! PS, since the rocker sole rolls the foot forward, there's more tendency to be on your toes. I would order a full size larger than your normal shoe size.

Comments about MBT MBT Women's M. Walk - Orange - On Sale!:
Tried this shoe to build core stability, correct back pain improve posture, So far so good. It's always difficult to assess back issues as to the true causes or fixes, but the shoes are comfortable at 2/3 size larger than my normal size, no blisters. Not anything to look at for sure, but interesting perhaps, as lots of people ask about them. I wonder about what the back goes through when back in regular shoes or oh gosh...,heels!

I have a form of muscular dystrophy...so I have toe drop...MBT helps my feet roll with each step so that I don't get the low back pain caused by wearing other shoes. this is my second pair of MBTs & I recommend them to all my friends.

I own seven pairs of MBT's, and as instructed ordered theses 1/2 size larger than usual. I wore them a few times before realizing that if I walk in them for very long they are simply too tight. Great shoes, but if you order I'd suggest going up more than just 1/2 size.

I was glad to have previous reviews to read and advise for size. I went a full size larger than I usually wear and they fit pefectly. With the negative heel, I immediately felt my lower back stretch out. The rolling motion is not as pronounced as I anticipated, you must walk very intentionally to feel the full range of the sole. Even with all of the motion while walking, my feet feel very well supported, no rubbing so no blisters.
It was encouraging to know that exchanges could be made easily if necessary.

LOVE LOVE THE SHOES! Only problem I had... I am a size 8.75, if there was such a size... so I got a size 9 in the MBT's. When i wear athletic socks in them they are too tight (I made that mistake before of just wearing my knee high nylons for work and got huge blisters) So I had to take out the insoles for them to fit correctly. So if you are an 8.5 sometimes 9 size...GET A 9.5!
OTHER THAN THAT THE SHOES ARE ALL THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE!!!
