2nd pair - I have these shoes in white with orange which I use at the gym. I think their great so much so that I'm ordering a second pair in black for work. I don't find that MBT's run smaller for me they fit true to size.

Strange But Interesting - I have peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain in feet). This shoe relieved some of the pain in the ball of my foot, but was not markedly different than other athletic shoes I wear. For people without my medical problem, this shoe could be comfortable, but it will take some patience getting used to it. If you want a different look and feel, try it?

Best shoe I've ever had!This shoe eliminated my foot pain! I have Frieberg's disease, and bought these as my last resort before surgery. Thanks goodness I tried them. What a miracle. I now bought the MaryJane style Tunisha too.

I'm recovering from an Achilles injury and bought these on the recommendation of my physical therapist. Wearing these has helped tremendously. I have been dealing with heal pain for over a year and saw a big improvement shortly after starting to wear these shoes. As a side benefit, I really do feel like I am toning my legs while wearing them! I've been recommending these to my friends. Not too fashionable, but I can get away with wearing them to the office. I bought a half size up from my normal shoe size.

Ok I have to say....Zappos, as ALWAYS...ROCKS beyond my expectations! We are talking about year after year, and from the buzz around town....I am not alone. But I digress. So, been wearing MBT's for a few years and LOVE them. really needed new ones and was concerned with all the PR Hype that they were no longer the front runner in the Masai Technology. Here's the scoop: The newer versions aren't watered down....they are PUMPED UP! I had no idea! They are so comfortable with so much arch support and I am BLOWN away.

Love my MBTs! Have some back problems, am on my feet all day, and I wanted a pair of MBT's to be able to wear to work. I am pleased with my choice. Zappos is the greatest place to shop. It is so easy!!! Just order and usually in 2 days your shoes are delivered. Returns are easy too. Thanks Zappos.

Fantastic shoes! I love the way I walk in them and can definitely feel the 'workout'. Highly recommended. I ordered a half size up as suggested and they fit just fine.

I haven't worn this style but the maryjane in brown suede. First off they are definitely not true to size; buy at least a 1/2 size bigger or 1 size bigger than you normally would take. Otherwise OMG it's like walking on cloud 10 TEN, not 9 but 10! I immediately stood up straight with no effort and these shoes just make you feel like walking and walking. I was amazed really. I thought my Mother was crazy for buying such "non attractive looking" shoes for so much money until I put them on. WOW. But I do know that MBT came out with a different style and discontinued the old type sole. You have to watch the older one is bigger and higher the new one is shorter and is no where near as good as the old style. The old style is 90% better I wouldn't even waist my money on the new heal design. But you know what happens to a discontinued item.....yep they will be gone soon. We bought up about 6 pairs so far of different colors of the maryjane suede. Hope this helps. Yep I am a real buyer and person my true views are written here. No skin off my back whether you buy them or not. In fact more for me :o).

Been working on my feet for 30 years. I have had a hard time walking for long periods of time. I bought my first pair if MBT's about 6 months before I went to work in London for 5 weeks. Best thing I have done for my legs & feet in years!! I just purchased my second pair of MBT's, the Bia, for a more professional look. Awesome!! I can be on my feet all day without the previous pain & discomfort.

MBTs are the greatest! As a nurse, I am on my feet for 12 hours/day. I was having difficulty with back, knee, and foot pain. My coworkers urged me to try a pair. The MBTs allow me to work pain free. It takes about two seconds to get used to them, and they are worth every penny. And, the last longer than regular sneaks.

Overall:

I thought I was a huge MBT fan. I have a pair of sandals that I never took off all summer. They just seemed to soothe my back. These tennis shoes have been a disaster for me. To get the proper length I had to get a little bit larger. When I got larger, the heel is entirely too wide and slips. I made the mistake of keeping them, thinking I could use heel grips. I'm now stuck with a very expensive pair of shoes that I can't wear.

Looking for some help. I have had a pair of MBT's for over two years and I can't wear them comfortably for very long. I always blister on the inside of one heal with the motion of the foot. I've tried pads on the tongue inside the heal, different lacing. Anyone have a similar problem and find a solution?

Overall:

I am so so cute in these!I love these shoes! I developed plantar's fascitis a few years ago and I'm always on the lookout for comfortable shoes. I gave up elegant heels for weird and wacky flat shoes to go with weird and wacky socks. I have so much fun in these. My arch feels well supported and I don't need the orthotics I usually wear. The rolling walk that I do while wearing them helps me stand up straighter, and I have learned better balance, too. They weren't hard to get used to for me as I usually wear Earth shoes. Even though they are as tall as some platforms, there is not the tendency to twist an ankle as in platform shoes. Side-to-side movement feels secure. I very much recommend these shoes.

Overall:

I purchased a pair of these shoes for my brother. Weak knees and ankles run in our family and he is also slightly overweight and experiences joint pain when walking fast and/or for longer than a mile or two. These have helped his condition dramatically and he has sworn he does not experience pain at all anymore and can also walk longer and farther. The price is steep but they are so worth it when it actually helps you get on with a normal lifestyle. Being waterproof he can wear them year round, and they also look just like a regular pair of casual loafers, which is great.

Great shoes! I am an individual who typically wears heels everyday to work and when I would switch to a sport shoe (like Nike). During the weekend my back would hurt and I was not even wearing the shoes all day. I decided to try these for the multiple benefits they provide (better posture, strengthen core...). My recommendation would be to only wear these a few hours a day initially (I believe the DVD also instructs to do that as well) then increase the time you wear these. I can now wear these all day on the weekends without issue and now no more backaches. I don't think I will ever switch back to a normal sport shoe again. One additional note on size...I am in between an 8.5 & 9. I went with the 8.5 and had no issues.

Overall:

I have two pair of MBT shoes and absolutely love them. My wife wanted a second pair and since the factory didn't have the style she wanted... we tried Zappos. The first pair didn't fit. The second pair didn't fit either. We went with a different style and they fit perfect. The customer service was outstanding. The agent walked me through the return process and even sent me the (free) return label while I was on the phone. She guaranteed me the shoes the next day - and this was December 23, 09. Unbelievable.

I love Zappos and I love my shoes. The first pair of shoes I bought did not fit, so I did the super easy return and got a credit and ordered this pair. I am a retail store owner and am always on my feet, wearing these MBT's has changed my life. Yes, they are not very attractive, but I don't care. My feet no longer hurt, my back no longer aches. I even wore these to the Atlanta Gift Market - usually my feet hurt so bad after market, with these on I could have walked (and shopped) forever!

I love these shoes. I have been wearing MBT sport shoes for years, because I have foot pain. I got a position at work which requires a dressier shoe and ordered the Tunisha. They look good with slacks and I have even had compliments on them. They are extremely comfortable and fit my wide feet. If the black ones ever go on sale, I'm buying them too!!

Reviewer: Mary from Texas

Overall:

Nice. I got a pair and thoroughly enjoy them with a little added insole for more arch support. Outer sole has a thinner profile, which may explain the arch support being less than my other two pair of MBTs. My daughter got a pair of Bomoa and her posture was very nearly correctly aligned the first time she put them on (with added Birkenstock arch support insert). My husband wishes MBT made this boot for men. He has a pair of MBT tennis shoes and he no longer has foot pain. All in all nicely done.

Overall:

After much research on the MBTs, this shoe really stands up to its hype! I have a severe back condition that with all other running shoes always made my back ache. After Christmas shopping all day in these shoes, I had absolutely no back pain! They also help exercise your calf, butt, and thigh muscles while wearing them. Exercising while completing everyday tasks isn’t such a bad thing either! I like the athletic look of the shoe. I’ve had them now for 2 months, worn almost every day and they still look like new. Only negative - you cannot wear them in the snow or rain.

I am very satisfied with these shoes, Before I purchased them, I read other reviews on MBT shoes and others recommend that you order a 1/2 size larger than your normal size. I am glad that I did, because the fit is perfect. They did not need any break-in and are very comfortable. I would recommend these shoes.

This is my first pair of MBTs. I am trying to improve my posture because my doctor’s theory is that my poor posture is causing my migraines. And I must say, these have really helped. I do stand taller and straighter. The shoes are very comfortable, but heavy. They do run a little small so order the next size up. All in all, theses will NOT be my last pair of MBTs.

Reviewer: MBT L from Macclenny, FL

Overall:

The M.Walk is my favorite for walking because it runs a little narrower for women’s feet and it fits like a glove. However, you do need to buy it 1/2 size larger to fit perfectly. These MBT shoes are supposed to fit like a glove and not have a ton of toe room like many are used to in regular shoes so you also need to get used to the more snug fit. These fit right in the 1/2 size larger. I have others that don’t fit right because MBT has a problem with making the women’s shoes more narrow. They got it right in this design which is why it is my favorite now for walking and shopping. However, this is NOT my favorite for working out on my Leg Magic and my Gazelle Sprintmaster Elite and my Proform Activator V5 or Wii Fit workouts because the M.Walk has more higher bounce and I do not need that high bounce on these machines so I love my MBT Tataga style shoe because it is VERY LOW bounce and so it works best for standing still on those machines so MBT Tataga is my workout shoes. The MBT Tataga is True to Size for a snug glove fit like it is suppose to be and so I got that in my TRUE size for workouts. Tataga is OK for walking, but no where near as great as the M.Walk for shopping and walking. Hope this helps someone! Enjoy! These MBT shoes made it possible for me to get off a walker and not have to use a scooter and now back pain and foot pain free for years as I have used them for 6 years! I can now walk for hours with no pain and do all those exercise machines wonderfully! I threw away all my orthotics because MBT solved all the problems! Worth every penny!
