Not for rugged terrain -
Comfortable, gives great cushion. Shoelaces get untied easily. Because of height of heels, it is not for uneven terrain like trails. There is more risk for twisting at ankle. Otherwise great for walking on flat even surfaces.

MBT Sport High -
I typically wear a 7.5 EE, and I find these to be very comfortable (size 38). My width is due to bunions, which admittedly, can get a little sore particularly at the end of a 9-10 hour day. I started with the black casual style, which was fitted by a trained specialist (size 37 2/3). I also have a sandal (the original, not the Kisumu, in a size 37 b/c no socks) and the Lifestyle in blue (size 37 2/3). I have to say the Sport High is the most comfortable and I think it's because of the size overlap (7.5-8). About the fit, the specialist told me that your toes should reach the front of the shoe. If you have the right size, your foot should not be moving within the shoe as you walk or you do not get the full benefits of the sole. It seems counterintuitive because it feels like your toes are going to smash against the shoe, but they don't, and you can really feel the rolling motion. These shoes are great, but if you want to get the most benefit, see a specialist to figure out the correct size, then come back to Zappos to get the awesome price. :)

It is way too narrow for me. I am bummed since MBT does not make a wide. In fact, their web site recommended people with wide feet buy a unisex style like this one. So I guess I have no other options and can't have the MBT experience! Also, my feet aren't super wide. I can get away with a normal a lot of the time. Only sometimes I need a W. So this says to me that these shoes run narrow.

Seriously, this is my fourth pair over the last four years. These shoes changed my life...my posture, I have a butt now, rock hard legs...if I could buy the world a pair of MBTs, I would!!! This was my first time to order them from Zappos.com and I was so impressed with their promptness, I just received my last order of four pairs of dress shoes! PERFECT.

Second pair of MBT's -
I have worn the MBT Kisumu sandal for a year for a 4-5 mile walk I do 4 times a week, and wanted to see what the "high" shoes were like...answer: pillows of bouncy air. I do feel more "workout" in my muscles. I am now doing walk, jog intervals for the usual 4-5 miles. These did rub a blister on my heels but have worn them 5+ times and now they seem to have broken in. I will alternate between pairs, but need to have my old pair resoled :) !! I wear a 9 1/2 (half size up from regular shoes) in a jogging shoe and these ran true to size, with plenty of room in the toe box.

NOT HELPING WITH HEEL PAIN -
I'm a nurse and on my feet most of my 8 hr. shift. I had a Morton’s neuroma removed last Feb. from my right foot and subsequently developed a plantar fasciitis in my left heel. The MBTs seem to take the pressure off the ball of my feet, so that helps with the neuroma discomfort (which is still there after surgery!) However, it hasn't helped my heel pain at all and in fact seems to aggravate it! My podiatrist told me to try these. They aren't worth the price~ I don't know what to do now!

MBT’S Sport Shoe HIGH -
I am enjoying walking in this shoe. It does Not run narrow in the heel and I got a big blister wearing them in. I walked 4 miles three days in a row. I took a break for a week and have not gotten one since. The HIGH felt funny at first. I rocked around a little, but got used to it fast. I wear a 9N in normal shoes. These I need a 9 1/2.

Sport High Rocks!
This is my second pair of MBTs. I was excited to check out the Sport High. I experienced a little knee strain for the first couple of weeks. Guess I had to adjust to the extra cushion. Now that they've settled in, they're perfect. I love what they do for my posture while power walking...140 B.P.M. & I'm flying. More colors please. Why is this shoe soo ugly? The MBT engineers should call that Dyson guy...He managed to make a vacuum cleaner beautiful...Just think what he could do to for the MBT!

Very pleased with this shoe!!!
I wear a 7.5 and had heard that MBTs are hard to size properly, so I ordered the 37 (US 7) and 38 (US 7.5-8). The 37 was too small and narrow but the 38 was perfect. I think it would be too small for someone who wears an 8. I am very pleased with the comfort, quality and look of the shoe. I just had a baby and wear them everywhere - you can't tell they're not normal sneakers, but they make a big difference in the way I walk. Highly recommended!!!

MBT Comments -
This is my second pair of the same, MBT shoes in a little over a year. They are wonderful shoes; they do assist in firming your legs and providing the best support and comfort for running/walking shoes.
I just wish that these shoes weren't so expensive-- they are overpriced.

I can't describe my love affair with this shoe. Buy them plenty of big, so your toes don't feel scrunched. In spite of the monstrosity of their appearance, I feel like a million bucks while walking in them!

Initially, walking is a bit awkward. If you plan to do any running I would not wear these shoes. I wear a Polaris exercise belt when I walk and I burn a few more calories when I wear the MBTs. I did expect a little more arch support esp. with the height of the shoe.

They don't disappoint -
This is my second pair of MBTs, the first were not this high and I felt ready to graduate to the taller one. I use them for increasing the intensity of my walking and can definitely feel the workout in my legs when I do. I do not need them for orthopedic purposes however I always appreciate a comfortable shoe and am not disappointed at all with my new second pair. I had the first ones for about 2 years and wore them into the ground. I have seen several ladies at the gym working out in this particular shoe as well. MBTs are great!

I love these shoes!
Wonderful shoes! I have been wearing mine for the last 2 years. More of a lift than regular MBTs. They took a little getting used to, but after a few weeks of daily wear, they were perfect. Last much longer than regular running shoes, which makes the price not as bad!

Rip-off that causes knee problems. No stars on this one.
Total rip-off. I walk on average 3 to 6 miles a day. Following the advice on the DVD that came with the MBTs I had nothing, but knee problems due to wearing these. Nor did they shrink my backside as the ads imply. When I stopped wearing these, the knee problems left. Even had the shoes fulfilled the promise of the ads, the price is absurd. There is absolutely nothing in these shoes to justify the price tag. I would never buy from this company again. These shoes were so bad, I wouldn't even donate them to Goodwill.

Pricey But Worth It!
This shoe is great for people with plantar fasciitis...I am now able to run again. However, for women at least or those with thin ankles, it is a bit large in this area. Plan to rectify this situation with heel inserts or double up on your sweat socks.

MBT Great Concept; Not So Great Comfort -
First, I have to admit, these shoes really increase the intensity of my running routine. I break a sweat much sooner and can feel the extra effort I need to keep going. I have seen a slight difference in the shape of my calves (have always been on the "thick" side). I run 4 days/week and use these 3. I really recommend them to help improve performance. Now, I have to mention the negatives. If you are someone that likes a very flexible running shoe (like me), the stiffness of this shoe will be a real shocker. Also, I am one of those people that get numb toes after 15-20 minutes on an ellipse of certain types of steppers. These shoes create the same sensation after about 15 minutes. I am not sure if it is the stiffness or the somewhat narrow upper end of the toe box. Maybe starting with the lower version would have allowed me to adjust more...whatever the cause; it is a very real and consistent issue. I have tried different lacing patterns and gel toe spacers...hoping something would help. Nothing worked. Despite this discomfort, I am trying to give my feet the chance to adjust. I have been using them for about 2 months now. Keep your fingers crossed!

This is a nice and comfortable shoe. I normally wear a 9-91/2 but ordered a half size larger. My back doesn't hurt anymore after standing all day for 5-8 hours all day in O.R. I also have another pair for working out. I got lots of compliments. Zappos rock!!! Has a good customer service.

Best shoes ever -
I am addicted to these shoes. Once, I went on a trip and wore my MBT sandals, which I love, too, but after a few days, I missed wearing these. They're a half-inch higher than the other MBTs, which make them bouncier and my gait more rolling somehow. I've had them for almost three years now and they're almost still as good as new. I've adjusted my wardrobe to accommodate wearing these shoes. I've had various problems with my knees and with plantar fasciitis, and I don't know if the shoes cured me or what but I no longer have aches and pains. I also have the lower sport version, which I wear to the gym. Fantastic shoe worth every penny.

Shoes great! Needed a different model!
There is not a lot of difference in looks between the "Sport High" and the regular height MBTs, but with the little bit of extra height I found my ankles wobbling in with each step, so I better start low and work up. This is one brand that you just have to try on to figure out what is going to work. Thank goodness for Zappos civilized shipment and return policy. Also they are not clunky ugly they are good looking.

MBT Sport High -
I love this shoe. I just received it and I had to write a review because it is the coolest shoe I have ever owned. It really is like walking on pillows. I don't feel like you really need a long time to get used to them- they feel a little weird, but I got used to the rocking effect pretty quickly. They also aren't as ugly as I thought they would be- they are cute in their own way! The best part is that Zappos rocks. The first pair I got had a manufacturing defect and Zappos sent me a replacement pair right away and told me to return the first pair when I was sure I was going to keep the second pair. It took two minutes for them to do this. PLUS- I ordered the shoes 10:00 pm and received them early afternoon the next day!! I am never buying shoes from any other place- no one can beat Zappos!

Incredible shoe for those with plantar fasciitis!
I have been battling plantar fasciitis for several years now. I bought these and it blew my mind when I realized I could actually run in them without pain (something I hadn't considered in years). These shoes are incredible! I am hoping they will soon make a dress shoe.
