These shoes are very comfortable. These are lighter and bouncier. They are less clunky. I have a narrow foot and they are fine and fit snugly at the heel. I should have ordered a size smaller, though.

They're ugly, but man they're comfy! Actually, I'm being too harsh. They're not that ugly, just seem like big sneakers with a funny curve. Definitely fine with scrubs. I wear them every day for anything from 8 to 30 hours at a stretch (I'm a resident in a very busy hospital) and while it feels odd to walk with them (the curve makes you take smaller steps and feel less stable), I no longer get any back aches or sore legs at the end of the day. If only I could say that much for my sore brain.

I've been wearing MBT's sport low for walking it's been 4 years now. I walk anywhere between 6 to 9 miles daily. I came online hoping I would find something by MBT more updated and I did! MBT's Fora GTX does what it promises. If you're up for a serious walk get these shoes! It's lighter than my previous one, less bulky, fits snug (has a narrower heel and that means no blisters), the Gore-Tex conforms to your feet. I say that because despite the fact that I have narrow heels the front part of my feet is wide and Gore-Tex does a wonderful job. Just yesterday, I was in Houston and went for a walk on the bayou at George Bush Park. My feet didn't get wet! How wonderful is that? I've been there several times before walking on that trail with my old MBTs on and my socks would get soaking wet! I really recommend these shoes for those of you that love to walk. It's true to size.

These are simply awesome sport/sporty shoes. Great looking and they feel wonderful on. I am almost a size 10 and these are perfect in the 41 but the 41 is a US 10 to 10½! They run slightly narrow for MBT shoes. If you usually "just fit" into your size in most shoes, or you have wide toes, you might want to consider the next size up.

Love this shoe! It is actually more normal looking than many MBTs and very comfortable. I ordered a 9-9.5 though in most shoes I wear a 8.5-9. I wish they had this style in other colors. I would buy more! They say these are waterproof, but I have not worn them enough to know yet.

I will have to agree with another reviewer that the lower soles don't give the same support. Also very narrow in width.

I purchased this shoe after reading a review that it seemed wider, and I wish MBT did a wide width as I have a combination last (narrow heel, wide forefoot). It worked in well, and it doesn't feel narrow. Wearing daily, in snow and slush and they still look good! The forefoot pain I had with other shoes disappeared when I put these on. If you're not used to them and heel starts complaining, get HTP heel seats from Foot Smart, the pain will leave quickly.

I absolutley love this shoe! It is nice enough for me to wear for work with pants, but also great with anything casual. I have not worn it in the summer, but found it great fall through spring. I do not have a narrow foot, and found that the 9-9½ size works great for me (I usually wear an 8½-9 shoe). I have not had any trouble with them in the rain; they do indeed seem to be waterproof. I wish they would do this same GTX in more colors! I bought a second pair of the black (on sale) since I wear them so much. For me, they are a five star shoe!

This shoe is my 2nd favorite MBT overall. I have owned 7 pairs. This is my favorite winter shoe as it is water proof. I just ordered this same exact shoe after 2 winters of walking. These shoes will last quite a long time. I wear them every single day and walk to and from work and then some for a total of 3 miles a day on average. The lace ups are definitely better than the Mary Jane styles for me, but that may be because they simply don't come small enough. I am a true size 5 (35 euro). So I wear a thick sock, and the laces help it to form to the foot. This style gets more compliments due to its streamline look I think, and it's fun with jeans.
Brands I'd also recommend: I haven't found any other rocker shoe that compares in quality
