I balked a little at paying the price but as I did my homework by going to a trunk show for the MBT brand and tried on many different styles, I was able to avoid sending shoes back for size issues. These shoes do fit very differently style to style and sizing up is necessary. Aside from that these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. A joy to walk in. I didn't want to take them off! I recommend the styles with the highest amount of "oomph" rather than the lower, more stylish versions. You get addicted to the rock! There ought to be a law! Or at the very least a good sale.

These shoes are very comfortable to wear. I did order a half size larger and I'm glad I did! They do take a little getting used to, but they are a great "workout"!

These shoes are the most comfortable I've ever owned. However, they run short, so order a half size larger. I endured a lot of ribbing from my kids, who call them my "orthopedic shoes." They look great with workout clothes or jeans. I did not feel any tightening in my tummy or stomach problem areas. My back did feel better than usual after a four mile walk on an asphalt path. Are they worth the money? I don't know if the knock-offs compare in quality. The price was steep, and I don't think I'll be wearing them 3 years from now when the fad passes.

For years I have been working as a patient care assistant and when I get home from work I couldn't do anything else but sit in the same spot my feet and legs ache so much. Well, I received these shoes as a gift and it was truly a blessing. Honestly, no pain at all. I mean I feel the weight of the shoe at the end of the day, but I guess I adapted. I've only been wearing them for a week and when you find out the price your kind of skeptical even in a recession, but then you see how much money you've wasted buying at least 5 pair of shoes a year trying to get comfort and this one shoe does it all.

Zappos rocks! Ordered the shoe I was not able to get easily in my area and Zappos got it to me in one day! The MBT Sport 2 has allowed me to work my shift on my feet without any pain. I did get a size 9 and wish I had gotten a 8 1/2. I wear smartwool hiking socks and those work well. Going to order the MBT Sport 2 in white as I will be traveling to Florida soon and the black I own do not go with shorts I plan on wearing.

Great comfort and support. I have painful feet and can easily walk 3 miles or more without pain. They feel heavy at first, but not an issue when walking. Watch the video (included with first pair) for correct use. My only issue is the shoe is very slightly loose around the heel. I tried 4 pairs before I found the best fit, and they run 1/2 size small. I got a blister at the back of the heel and had to use a pad to improve the fit. This worked and I now live in these shoes.

These shoes are the bomb! I have arthritis in both feet, cervical spine and lumbar spine. Besides a degenerative disk and one herniated disk. Well, these shoes have helped me to be able to walk again, and more importantly with little or no pain! I would purchase more in different colors, but my budget prohibits such an expense. But when I need another pair I will purchase another, and of course from Zappos.

I have never had such great customer service. I ignored the advice from other customers to order a 1/2 size larger in this shoe because I have narrow feet and thought they might slip around if the shoe was too large. I was wrong so I had to reorder. The larger size arrived just 1 day after I corrected my order! No fuss. No hassle. No problem. Everything went just as advertised only better. I am looking for ways to experience Zappos excellent service again. Zappos made me feel like a VIP, or ever better, like a real person not a number.

These are a little too high on the ankle. If I have it to do over again I may order the low sport instead. Also the ties must be tied very tight and into a double knot or they will slip. I do however; feel my posture improves greatly when I have them on.

I read all the reviews so I ordered 1 size larger than I normally wear. When the shoes arrived, the very next day, love Zappos, they were 1 size too large. The shoes are comfortable and I do not like to wear other shoes now.
These shoes are great. I have problem with my lower back as well as foot problems,(bunions, flat feet, etc). Within 20 minutes of wearing them my back stopped hurting! I was so surpri sed. These shoes cost a lot, but they are worth it. I now have two pair. They take some getting used to, because they force you to walk correctly. Make sure you watch the video that comes with it.

Not for me, sadly. I broke a bone in my left foot and am wearing a walking boot on it. I had hopes of this thick-soled shoe evening my gait, but it was taller than the boot. Also, it seemed stiff at the ankle area and was uncomfortable. Back to Brooks.

These shoes are awesome. I love them. I have had a foot problem since January 2008, which actually stopped me from walking. I had custom inserts made for $300.00 plus, which helped a little. Then my foot doctor recommended these and I was a little hesitant due to the price, but I'm glad I bought them. I have been wearing them for a month now, and I can't believe that my foot pain is basically no more, Thank you MBT and Zappos! Can't wait to get my next pair. They are worth every penny and then some!

I wish my shoes were in a narrow width. Other than that, I like them. Hard to get used to because of thickness, and soles.

MBTs are the best shoes for standing on your feet all day long. I am a teacher and I wear them 10 hours a day. The day I put my first pair on, my lower back stopped hurting. I only wish that the company would make them in Navy Blue. There are lots of colors but most of them scream ATHLETIC SHOES! I have a pair of black that I wear a lot but I also wear a lot of navy and then I have a dilemma, white MBTs and feel good or a pair of navy shoes and have my feet hurt at the end of the day. Decisions, Decisions. If you are reading this, MBT makers, how about Navy shoes!

This shoe makes you WANT to walk, walk, walk! I love it! The shoe sort of propels you forward and eases the whole walking process. I wish they came in other colors and more styles. I would definitely order more if they did. I recommend this brand and the footwear they make. You'll be happy with them as well!

I love Zappos! And MBTs! This will be my second pair since my feet grew a little in pregnancy, but I don't mind buying another pair with Zappos free shipping, customer service to get the right size, and knowing that these shoes will help me get back my figure. They are totally worth it! I know several other places I could go to buy these shoes, but I prefer doing business with Zappos. Thanks, Zappos!

Read the reviews and ordered a half a size larger, which would have been fine, but I tried them on and really didn't notice a benefit to the shoes with walking straighter and toning. I decided to sit this one out for the price, and the aesthetics.
