I had heard about the MBT shoes, but was a little hesitant to try them. Only with Zappos return guarantee did I feel comfortable purchasing a pair. That, and the fact that the price was right, got me my first pair. I started walking in the house with them, then moved outside after a couple of days of "breaking them in". They're marvelous! I thoroughly enjoy them.

These are amazing shoes! They were recommended to me by a friend with knee and back pain who knew that I had both of these problems too. I could tell how different they were when I first put them on; they change your gait for the better. Both my physical therapist and orthopedist say these are good for knee/back problems. They were so great that I came back for a second pair just a couple of weeks later. I'm a woman who wears an 8.5 wide - I ordered these in a size 9 after reading the reviews and they were great. If you are a woman with a wide foot (MBT's don't come in wide widths) this is the shoe for you - just size up half a size. I'm very pleased with the shoe and with the excellent customer service from Zappos. I'll be back...

These are my first MBT shoes. What I like most about them is that they allow me to insert my orthotics and they are sandals. Most people don't see the heel on this model. It also makes me about an inch and a half taller which is funny because I'm over six feet to begin with. I also suffer from bursitis and I find the shoes with my orthotics are the best combination I have to moderate that pain. A good purchase for me.

Wonderful shoe. The design is fantastic and they wear very comfortably. Your feet are on a cloud and despite the shoe being covered around the instep your feet do not sweat. I would recommend this shoe to anyone who is looking for quality as well as comfort. Do not even worry about the price it is well worth every penny you spend. You will know the moment you put them on. It may feel weird because of how the sole is designed initially but once you understand the make of the shoe it’s great. Watch out.

They look a bit clunky and take some time to get used to but in general feel pretty good. I'm still assessing if there are any positive effects on my aging body and gait.

These shoes are the best! They are a bit heavy, but that translates into sturdy and the only ones I can be in and on my feet all day long without being in pain. I have horrible feet having gone through several operations and these are a real find. I would recommend them to anyone with foot, back, or leg problems. Zappos is a pleasure to do business with. They delivered quickly and without shipping costs.

They are cute as pictured and comfy! Definitely order one size bigger as the kind reviewers have recommended. I am usually a 7.5 or 8 and the 8.5 fit me perfectly. I’m having a hard time really feeling like I can do anything in these shoes without fear of breaking my ankle - the fact is that the rocking soles are by nature not stabilizing, but they are exceedingly comfortable and the red pair I got are really fun looking.

I first tried MBT shoes last year and they are amazing! I work on my feet all day, on concrete flooring, and before I had these shoes my back, hips, and feet were in extreme pain. Since wearing the MBTs, I no longer have pain or stiffness. Zappos is a great place to shop, and have excellent customer service practices. I recommend them to everyone.

I really liked the look of these sandals. I wish the strap on the top of the foot was adjustable. I have a narrow foot so just adjusting in the back doesn't work. I will have to return. I hope MBT will look at them and see if they can make the top adjustable. The other sandals are soo clunky looking-especially on a narrow foot. Otherwise, love the MBT-they are very comfortable and great for running around at work.

I checked out every site I could to find these shoes at the best price. Your price came in as one of the lowest. Having had success with your company on a previous order and liking your terms I decided to use you again and I'm extremely happy I did. You have a great selection, fair prices, and speedy delivery. These shoes are amazing! My legs get a nice work out. I wear them as much as I can and get lots of compliments on the style. That's not easy to do when you have big feet! Be sure to order them as suggested a little larger. I tell you this from experience. My sister now owns my first MBTs. Thank you!

This is a perfect everyday shoe. The images does not do it justice -- it looks great in person, much more like a normal shoe than many of MBT's other models (several of which I also own). The Kafala fits me perfectly and provides ideal support for my picky feet. Highly recommended.

I received my black Ema's a couple of days ago (thanks Zappos for the super-fast shipping) and am wearing them to work for the first time today. I was worried about trying these but I'm really glad I did. I wear a 37 in the MBT Sport shoes and the 37 Ema's fit perfectly. The front toe strap is a little tight on my big toe, but I will work that out...MBT's require some effort, that's what they're about, and these are no different. I notice the turning in quite a bit when I first tried them on but halfway through my first day in them it's undetectable--I'm just having to work it a little bit to walk in them and that is the plan after all. I love them and if the brown color didn't have that white insole I'd get those too. By far the cutest MBT I've seen.

I saw a TV program about Zappos on public television. I could see that it is employee-run and quite a laid back situation, yet very productive. Seems like the ideal company to work for - so it must be a good company to do business with also. Sometime later, I called Zappos in a rush to get a hard-to-find pair of shoes. They sent the shoes to me by the next morning and no shipping charge. Yeah, the MBT shoes are great, but to wear them, you have to meet the challenge of wearing them. I can’t rate comfort because the comfort factor with MBT’s is yes and no. You wear them to build muscle and change structure for the better. They work. And that process helps relieve back pain. So the shoe is really a treatment.

I have found these shoes to be everything that the manufacturer touts -- they are great walking shoes that literally put a "spring in my step" and I walk taller in them. They are not for hiking, but good city shoes. This particular style is attractive -- neither athletic or orthopedic.

I listened to other reviewers and bought a half size larger than normal. Certainly glad I did. I'm still in the breaking in period, but believe I am going to enjoy these shoes. I was looking for a pair of shoes to help combat plantar fasciitis and these were recommended. Thought they were clunky looking but was to the point that I didn't really care. Actually, they are kind of cute in a coyote ugly way.

Bizarre looking, but fabulously comfortable! I put them on immediately and didn’t take them off all evening and I can’t normally tolerate having my feet "enclosed" in the summer. They’re aptly named as they truly are primarily for walking. The rocker sole gives you a spring in your step and I definitely felt the workout my glutes got the next day. Don’t try to stand stationary for long periods of time though - I almost tipped over backwards while doing so! I highly recommend the MBT M.Walk if you are an avid walker.

MBTs are great! This is my 5th pair. I have had 6 surgeries on a now-fused ankle, and the sole design and comfort of MBTs is matchless. I needed something to replace my flip flops for the summer, and these are doing the job very well. They are also nice looking enough to wear to a nice restaurant.

I got the Chapa in the birch color and am very very happy. The color is a neutral that complements everything from khaki, to denim, to black. I have a size 8 US but needed a 39 in Chapa. They are so comfortable I wear them everyday to work

These are the craziest shoes I have ever owned but they are a lot of fun, too! I say they are crazy because the curved sole of the shoe makes you balance yourself all the time. I found this disconcerting at first and I could only wear them a few hours at a time because you unconsciously work your leg muscles to stay balanced and I would get sore and my legs would ache. Now I can wear them all day (but not every day). The adjustable straps make it possible to adjust to any foot width and the shoes are extremely comfortable (once you build your leg muscles up). I love the way the footbed feels and the construction of the shoe gives me the extra cushioning I need but almost never get with sandals. It's true that the shoe makes you adopt a straighter posture although I can't say whether the shoe is improving my back (which seems about the same). I concur with the other reviewers who say to buy a shoe smaller than what you normally wear (although mine fit me perfectly because I have a wide foot rather than a long foot so didn't have to order another size).

WOW! I've had my first pair of MBTs for 5 years now, so getting a new pair took some getting used to. The Barabaras were a bit snug, at first, but after two whole-day wears they loosened up enough to be absolutely comfy. Great comfort for commuting and walking around. I love them!

Reviewer:Linda B. from Clearwater, FL

Overall Rating:

Get a 1/2 sz larger than normal for all styles, including sandals, 1 sz larger if it's a Chapa...This is my 5th pair of MBTs and probably one of the most comfortable, most stylish and slightly lower with less rocking motion than say the Chapa or Lami. With each pair you will find they work different muscles, so changing off on them gives you an all over workout and releases pain where nothing else even touched it. There is nothing that I can say about MBTs comfort, easing of leg, knee, back and shoulder pain that others have not said. Simply amazing how they seem to alleviate all of this. What may be the most amazing is that before going strictly to MBT's I had an orthotic device for my left foot for plantar fasciitis and not only did it help minimally, it also limited me to what shoes I could or could not wear. I was unable to walk across the room without wearing shoes. The device did nothing to help my condition. MBT has raised my arch with its rocking motion and I can now wear normal heels without any device if I'm only going to walk in them for a little while. Before, I couldn't even step into heels without pain. Note: If you have plantar fasciitis, you will find that the foot that's affected will be very uncomfortable in MBTs at first. It feels like a large rock underneath your arch until the working of the rocking starts to lift it. I would recommend wearing them only a couple of hours a day for a week, then maybe for 4 hrs. etc. It took me almost 2 months until I no longer felt any effect on my left foot. The arch is now as my right, not flat when I step barefoot. Amazing. I hope this helps and I wish you as much pain-free success as I have had with my MBTs.

These are just about my favorite MBT shoes because they are so pretty AND comfortable. Also, the smooth leather is nice. They are a little more dressy and feminine, so you can even wear them to social occasions. The sole height is a little lower, so walking is a pleasure. A very nice shoe!
