Well, I have a floating arch which makes sizing hard. But I have older MBT's and I '
guess' they run small - maybe a full size for a 'flat shoe-size.' Width is average, not narrow. Toe box is nice and ample. They have the greatest 'rocker' sole. I never thought I would 'live' to hear myself say: "my lower back felt less pain with the first steps!" It's incredible, all day long. Better than
yoga and glucosamine chondroitin vitamins! I
guess they really change the pressure on hips and back. Very nice soft leather, except arch...ugly, but I plan to let my slacks cover them! Pain is a driving force! I decided to 'grab' them when some reviewers said some newer styles of
MBT are just not as 'good' for pain -- and comfort. They have a spring-like feel when you step down, like a tough steel spring somewhere within the mid-foot zone. So nice! The ankle fits snug, keeps them very stable/ stationery on the foot. I think they definitely could be UGGlier. Now if I can 'get my nerve up' and try some
sandals (double ugh). Comfort is a big deal when you are in agony! These are incredible!
Skechers and
fit-flops have nothing over
MBT!
