MBT Chapa SKU #7401725(View on Zappos.com Classic)

These shoes are not only horrendously ugly, but they are extremely uncomfortable! I bought these shoes hoping they would provide ample cushioning on my walks with my friends, but they are certainly disappointing. The next day my legs to my abdominal were sore and fatigued! I think it ruined my knees also.

Love the Chapa. Foot, hip and back problems have kept me from walking for any length of time. These shoes have alleviated much of the pain in those areas now that I've begun walking again.

These shoes are great! I really hesitated about purchasing them because of the price, but it has been worth the money. I have leg spasms (10 yrs) and thought these may help and they do! Problem is not gone but is much better. Gives you more energy, and I've lost inches! Everyone keeps saying I'm losing weight! Don't know if its the shoes but I'll take anything to help in that area! Very lightweight, but buy 1/2 size larger.

I hesitated for a couple of years of spending the money for MBTs, but had a leg and knee problem and was hoping it would help. Since I am 77 years old, I also worried that I would have a hard time walking in them. I have no problem walking, but do have a problem of standing, especially on a slant or uneven ground. I do think they have helped my knees and legs, but will hold my opinion until I have worn them a few more months. I have worn them a month now, with not too much problem.

This is my second pair of MBTs, the first is the black leather boots (very cool). I like the look of these shoes (I have them in red) more than pretty much the rest of the MBT casual line. I wear them on the concrete floors of my workshop nearly every day. I can’t vouch for any claims to improved leg muscles or extra calories burned while standing still, but I spend probably 4-8 hours on my feet each day, and these shoes are a huge improvement over thinner-soled shoes. The cushioning is good, but I found the pressure on the ball of my foot was too much (I have neuromas), so had to use 3/4 inserts (not needed with Danskos). The shoes comfortably accommodate the inserts. Walking in the MBTs is not my forte - living in the city I have walked perhaps a mile or more at a time doing errands, and find them to be awkward and slow (I like to move fast), which probably adversely affects my posture. Driving in them can be tricky, too - gotta remember there’s 2" under the balls of my feet. Overall, I’m glad to have them, but would hesitate to shell out the big bucks for another pair.

MBT Review - These are my third pair. Very comfortable. Can walk and run for hours. I bought these because they don't look like a sneaker.

I was fooled! I was fooled by the hype for these shoes!! Every time I wear them to walk 30 minutes a day, I get huge blisters (even with blister bandages) on the back of my heels, and my feet go NUMB after walking in them for 15 minutes!! I have had others watch me walk to make sure I was walking in them correctly and I have been, but I continue to have problems!! I have high arches, and knee problems. These shoes were recommend to me by several different people in different fields of work claiming that they really helped them. Well, after wearing them now for 3 months, trying to "break" them in, etc., I have come to the conclusion that the claims on these shoes are nothing but "hype". I would not recommend these shoes even to my dog (who has hip problems)!

MBT Chapa - I love my sport low MBTs so much that I decided to get another style -- the Chapa style seemed a little bit tighter in the toe box, and had a higher counter (the part with the tab at the back of the ankle) than the sport low, so I needed to break them in. Only after 1 week, I was able to walk 3-5 miles... they are lovely and comfy just like my sport low style... I really like these as well...

Greatest Walking Shoe Ever! This is my second pair. I wore the treads on the first pair smooth. Makes a HUGE difference in you walking routine - the results are truly amazing - I am 58 and know what I'm talking about! Tones your legs and but, and makes the miles you walk burn those calories! I will never be without a pair! By 1/2 size larger than your dress shoes.
