These are more grey than dark blue. I love MBTs but for some reason they don't want to make navy shoes. I was hoping for a navy pair but am disappointed in the colors used on this one.

Thought that I finally found a rocker sole that had function and some style (and it was on sale). Unfortunately, this shoe, like other MBTs I have tried on, runs narrow and is reinforced with stiff material around the forefoot. Wish MBT would make a wide version for those of us who need rocker soles for arthritic feet.

This is my fourth and most comfortable pair of MBT's yet. They are not for everyone; for example older people with balance problems, but for me, I can walk for miles in them and not have any of the foot pain I have with almost any other shoe. I have a narrow foot and these fit perfectly, so I don't know how they would be on an average width foot. They are expensive, but for me they are the best pair of sneakers yet!

Runs a bit narrow. Perfect fit on me, but not as wide as most regular tennis shoes. Bought these for a daily 2-miles-each-way walk to the bus stop which involves a lot of steep hills. Expensive, but worth every penny. Much easier on my knees and hips.

These look great - except that the left and right did not match in color very well. The soles are very comfortable and supporting, but the shoes are narrow at the ball of the foot. I have worn this brand for years, and this is the worst fit and overall quality so far. MBT has really lost the plot.
Brands I'd also recommend: going back to Asics runners

I ordered a 9.5 because I usually wear an 8.5 with an orthotic. It fits for some reason -- without it. Great shoes! Super comfortable & I have arthritis.
