MBT Sport 2 SKU: #7557140

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?

These shoes run the Euro size larger, but my feet stretch wearing them. They also have a ton of room on the top of my feet. For walking distances these are great. They do help with posture. I found myself walking taller with much less fatigue and finding I couldn't get my shoulders any farther back. The posture stuff really works. They wobble around and the subway can be challenging, the special ed. look is not as obvious with the sneakers. I have the shoes as well. The high arch might be what stretches out my feet. Walking in them is really fun. There is a very inset heel and they are roomy, but the arch will stretch the feet and it does feel like I'm walking on hard sand. The bouncy feeling is kind of addictive as well; I had to wear my other shoes just to stop walking around so much and so far. They look fine to me in jeans. I would have ordered a half size smaller, but my foot really does stretch and for the price I would try them on after a workout or walk. The grey I saw at a store and is very silvery; the white is hard to keep clean, but looks fine. The soles are very durable, maybe that is part of the high price but they look new after a lot of miles. I wouldn't want to drive with these; the soles are too unfamiliar for me, maybe they wouldn't bother someone else. My next pair I will try and be more discerning of the roominess and less enthusiastic about the comfort. A worthwhile investment that will make other shoes your second choice for a while.

I had really high hopes for these shoes, since they were recommended for achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, both of which I\'ve had for a couple of months. I was desperate, as I\'ve been in so much pain I can\'t even walk my dog! I must say they are very comfortable if you are just standing still...but walking is much more painful than in my regular running shoes, because these shoes are HEAVY. The extra weight strains the achilles tendon whenever you pick up your foot. I never even tried them outside as I had a lot of pain just on the hardwood floors in my home. After walking around in them for only 10 minutes my achilles swelled up immediately. Sadly, I had to return them, but the Zappos Customer Service Rep was WONDERFUL. I really can\'t say enough about the great customer service at Zappos.

I bought these shoes to be used as recovery shoes while I'm training for a 50k trail race. That means I wear them to work and to walk the dog and whatever else I'm doing at low speed on a hard, flat surface. They are great. You need to ease into them slowly, but after a week you can wear them all day. I wore them to Disney World and they were perfect. Very roomy toebox. Nice flat toe bed. It does feel a bit like you are walking in sand. It takes some effort to walk quickly in them. I have noticed improvements in the strength of my ankles and calf muscles. I like to stand on one foot for a couple of minutes in them. Definitely helps with balance and lower leg strength.

This is a terrific gym shoe. Until it became available, I had been using the M.Walk as my gym shoe, and it had seemed fine to me. But I find the Sport 2 significantly more comfortable, perhaps in part because it seems a little roomier. The Sport 2 is also more attractive, in my view, than the original Sport, on which the MBT symbol was too prominent. And of course the MBT design, to which I am thoroughly addicted (I now wear nothing but MBT shoes), is perfect for the gym because it adds just a bit more challenge to every activity. I highly recommend the Sport 2 as either a gym or a walking shoe. Keep in mind that it does run very slightly longer and wider than some other MBT shoes.
