I bought these for my husband. He has had severe arthritis in his hips and back since he was a teenager. I didn’t tell him how much these cost until he tried them on and used them for an hour or two. He absolutely loves them. For a man to rave about a pair of shoes is truly a unique thing, but he’s worn them everyday for a week and practically bounces home from his 12 hour workdays. Every day he says something great about these shoes. I ordered him the size he usually wears and they fit well. I’m a nurse, so I’ll be ordering a pair for myself soon. Well worth the money. This particular style is not as odd looking as some of the others. Look good with jeans or chinos.

Brands I'd also recommend: I love my Danskos for nursing duty.

These fit true to size. I ordered these for my husband who has not walked much in years due to a chronic back condition. He feels like he has a new lease on life and is like the energizer bunny. Also these look like normal shoes, not as clunky as the other styles.

The shoe's quality is not to be questioned. I just don't think it is the shoe it claims to be. I have a pair of boots that are far more comfortable and don't make my feet hurt like these do. They do, however, give you exercise since you are constantly balancing yourself. I would start with the less expensive pair and see if you like those...

Brands I'd also recommend: K-Swiss

I walk several miles a day and purchased these shoes on the hype they gave something special and were woth the their high price. The shoes are well made and comfortable yet don\'t really give any better experience than other walking shoes which are less expensive. In short not sure these shoes are really worth the extra money.

I waited long for this style in my size. It was worth it. As expected, they feel and fit exactly like the Safiri, (same sole pattern) with the color, materials and look I had wanted. Like all my MBT\'s, these have the therapeutic value I need.

These shoes are quite remarkable. They are not too difficult to get accustomed to. The most unusual thing is standing still, where you tend to rock forward. The bottom line is that they do build up your legs very quickly. I would most definitely recommend them.

Zappos. Great service. Great price. MBT Tembea. This style of shoe absolutely helps my lower back and accompanying leg pain, a nerve issue. They take a few weeks to get used to. This particular model is very rugged. I am not too happy with the way the shoe meets my ankle, too harsh, and the toe box is a bit too large for me. I might need a 9.25 since the 9 is too short and the 9.5 just a bit too big. This model runs true to size or just a tad big. I only wear MBTs. Just doing an hour walk in them is therapeutic.

Very comfortable. Took only a couple of days to get used to. I would get another pair.

I work on concrete for most of the day, and suffered from very bad foot pain. I had tried many other shoes and insoles, and the MBTs have cured the foot pain. Not that my feet don't ever get sore, but I do not wake up in the morning with pain anymore and my feet feel so much better. They did take some break in time for my legs and feet to get adjusted to them. It took me about three weeks to really start to feel a difference. I now wear them every day and love them. Worth the money to get rid of my foot pain.

Great shoe!! I had my right ankle fused as a result of a foot crush from an auto accident. 21 years and multiple surgerys later I have a degenerative arthritic foot and ankle. To say the least I have a few problems with walking. Well, with this shoe (2nd pair of MBT) I can walk all day and be pain free. As the instructions that come with the shoe it took a few days or a week to break in and get used to but after that I am SOLD on MBT. I will be getting my 3rd pair soon!

Instant posture and gait improvement for a friend with Parkinson's disease. Practical styling with a contemporary edge. You will walk farther, faster and not want to wear other brands other than MBT! If you have a friend, parent, spouse who winces at spending money but needs a physical boost give them MBT's and they will perk up!
