I love them!
These shoes have the best of both worlds, looks and personality. They are very comfortable and although it took me a little bit to get used to the new rolling feeling when I step, I can feel my legs constantly trying to keep the balance so my muscles when I’m walking are constantly working harder than regular tennis shoes. I highly recommend them!!!!

MBT Sport Low -
I ordered my MBT's after reading many reviews. Our local store had a no return policy, so I ordered and saved sales tax & shipping & I knew I could return if I didn't like them. The 1st day I wore them on the carpet for 4 hours. I was expecting my legs & feet to be very tired after reading all the reviews, but they weren't. I wore them all day the next day with no problems. My back is feeling very good. Could be the shoes, could be the Chiropractor. I don't know, but I do know they have not caused any back pain. I knew if I wore them when my back was already hurting, I could tell if it would be worse wearing them. It is not. I love them and they are fun. All the reviews tell how ugly they are. Obviously these people have not been wearing New Balance wide bottom shoes. They are butt ugly. I like the way these shoes look. I asked the salesperson who was wearing them about them because I liked the way they look. Our local store lost a customer & Zappos gained one simply by having such a good return policy. I was not about to pay this much for a pair of shoes and be told if I get them home I can't bring them back. I tried them on with my soft inserts for size before I ordered. I usually wear a size up because of my orthopedic arch supports.

From previous experience, I went up 1/2 size, and they fit perfect. I noticed a correction in my walking and it may not be true, but I believe a bunion that has been bothering me is actually getting better. My back and hip pains are gone. I still have knee pain, but I don't know if this shoe is going to help that. I did notice the firming that everyone talks about as well. This shoe is amazing in everyway!!

MBT review -
Overall, I am very satisfied with my MBTs. They are great for walking or on my feet all day. The only time they are not comfortable is when I'm sitting or driving for a while. Standing is fine; walking is great. I feel like the muscles in my legs are getting more of a workout and getting toned. I plan to order another pair soon in another color as I wear them to work everyday and need other colors to go with lighter color pants for spring and summer.

Weird but who cares -
I thought for sure I was getting ripped off but after wearing these shoes for work (I'm on my feet for 10+ hours a day--Respiratory Therapist Charge Tech) I was ever-so-thankful to have spent the money! I have feet trouble and have spent hundreds of dollars on different shoes--from Danskos to Birkenstocks--these are the best I've found!! You will NOT regret it... I totally don't!

Wonderful Shoe -
Since I had replacement knees these shoes have made my recovery just wonderful. I can walk faster down the hospital halls now. My new knees work great with no swelling at the end of my shift. One thing I would have liked is an arch support since I have flat feet. I did have to get a half size larger. Returning them was no problem. Return policy easy to understand. The new styles out are great and I a glad that MBT understands style...thank you for inventing them. See about some arch support, ok? Thanks

Well worth the price - Great for my low back.
I had heard from my chiropractor that several of his sciatic problem patients were using these shoes with good success. When I looked them up, I balked at the price. I decided to try them in spite of the cost, and I'm glad I did. I don't use them to workout in. I find it's too easy to fall off the stair climber with them on, but I do wear them to work and on errands. Not too thrilled about the look, but they are very comfortable and fun to wear. I think they could be best described as "bouncy". I initially found them very unstable, but I can now wear them several days in a row without having any problems. These shoes have a narrow heel and a wide toe box. It's great for my toes which have spread from a regular yoga practice. The shoes also seem to be helping my sciatic pain problem. I've also noticed that my core seems to be tighter. Regular use of these shoes seems to be positively affecting both my yoga practice and rock climbing. So far, I've owned the shoes for 6 months. They seem to be in fairly good condition, although I have been noticing some wear and tear around the foam part of the sole towards the heel. Overall, I am very pleased with this shoe.

MBT Sport -
I just love these shoes. I truly cannot say enough about them. I have had foot and ankle problems which have caused me great pain on an off for the better part of my adult life. The most recent incident started in March of 2006 and lasted until January of 2007. Thanks to some excellent massage therapy and my purchase of the MBT Sport, that pain is all but gone. And ladies, you will love what these shoes do for your legs and all-over body weight. It's like exercising 24/7 when you are wearing them.

Sooo comfortable!
If you are looking for comfort, these are your shoes! Although they are not great for wearing with dress clothes at work, I still want to wear them!
I had a car accident several years ago and these are the best shoes I have had yet!

Great shoes -
I wear them everyday, I walk about 2-3 miles in the morning and about the same in the evening, and my feet don't seem as tired as they would in regular shoes. I feel that I get an all over workout on my legs with just my daily walks and hikes.

Rival to Dansko’s -
I am on my feet all day, and my Dansko’s were digging into the side of one foot. I tried buying a new pair to no avail (narrow heel, wide flat feet!). I tried the MBT, it took about a week or so to find my balance, the whole concept is instability, so that you put your stabilizing muscles to work. They are so much fun to walk in, it motivates me to move! My toes never hurt anymore due to the negative heel. I can’t wait to buy another pair. I really only want to wear these day after day.
They are worth the money. I told myself I was about to buy 2 pairs of Dansko’s because of the pain I was living with, so why not one great pair? Now we just need to find out how long they last.

Love this shoe!
I had wanted this shoe since I first heard of them 2 years ago when they were about $300. I read many reviews and articles; looked at many shoe web sites; went to a store and tried a pair on for sizing- got conflicting info from them; a friend got hers from Zappos and was pleased. I tried hers on and they fit perfect. (Most shoes I get a size larger to accommodate my toes but found this was not necessary with these shoes. My toes have plenty of room because the weight is distributed different than in other shoes.)
I ordered and they came the next day. I have some early back problems so I took the shoes with me to my chiropractor appointment to be checked and was told they fit fine; my posture was great etc. I started practicing walking in regular shoes the week before I ordered them. Standing up straight, walking with my feet under me; strides small- engaging leg, hip, and abdominal muscles while walking. Once I got them and watched the video, the first day I wore them an hour. Next day the same. Third day I went to my exercise class and wore them. No sore muscles. I wear them to work now; am on my feet most of the day. Some days I don't wear them- just to make my body comfortable with change and keep muscles alert. I am very Happy with them, especially when I discovered they can be resoled by resoleamerica when the soles wear out. I like the fact that these also help me with balance- to keep my ankles strong. Something I have to consider as I get older. I'm in my 50s. Arch support is not really an issue in this shoe. I usually am concerned about that in other kinds of shoes.
I would love to also have a pairs of the sandals--tried those on also but they do seem to run a half size small. Zappos is great. Very satisfied customer.

Workout by just walking!
I do a pretty intense hill walk daily. It had actually gotten pretty easy ... until I added this shoe into the mix. I had absolutely no problem adjusting to these shoes ... there is not that much difference in sole height. You will find that you walk with a more rolling gait and that all of the muscles in your legs get a bit more of a stretch as you go about your normal walking routine. And that hill I climb, well lets just say I could feel it in my hamstrings a bit! They are very comfortable and I wear them for casual activities with jeans quite regularly ... they ran on the large size with ample room in the toe box compared to the Lifestyle model which slopes downward onto your toes. As this runs a bit large, I have been wearing with really thick socks and have enjoyed thoroughly!

Work your buns without extra effort -
These shoes are amazing. I suffered from lower back pain before starting to wear these -- no pain now. And I get a workout, especially in my buttock area just by walking around. I have 2 pairs & wear the white ones to volunteer at the hospital pushing wheelchairs -- an average of 4 miles per shift!

I love my MBT shoes!
I stand on a cement floor with very little movement for 8 hours a day. I was having foot, leg, and back pain. The very first day I wore my MBTs, my pain was over. My feet still get tired, but no more pain! I do have to be conscious of how I stand, because the sole is quite different, but basically I love them! I only wish they weren't quite so expensive -- I would like to own several pairs!

Review -
I have two of these shoes, the blue wave and this one. Maybe it is the break in time, but the blue save is way more comfortable. I love these shoes, but the upper body could be changed to look slicker.

Fabulous shoe -
I am 72, work on concrete floor, and was experiencing knee, leg and foot pain especially at night when I would wake up crying. I have given away shoes, inserts, orthotics which have not worked...was on pain killers. Three days using these shoes and I was pain free...all pain meds down the toilet. All who have tried my shoes on (anyone who will listen to my experience and who will fit into my size) have been impressed and several have ordered despite the cost. The folks I work are not wealthy...not by a long shot...but the idea of no pain, no drugs, no impending surgery...well, the cost is worth it. Unfortunately one must be careful of moisture and thus I must wipe off the soles quickly and completely after walking outside on wet pavement. I hope these shoes last as I do live in a wet climate (Pacific Northwest). I am looking forward to the new styles and will definitely buy more MBT shoes.

Great MBT's Sport Low shoe -
MBT is very comfortable but it does require time to adjust to it. The style is neat and cute. I am not sure yet if it really will help me to loose weight or not but it definitely seem to help to avoid foot pain and back pain.

These shoes are really nice. This is my second pair. The first pair was in white and I had them for 2 years. They took away my headaches and are very comfortable!!
I give it a 3 stars on looks because my husband said they make my feet look big. :)

Great shoe!!! Spent a fortune trying to find a really comfortable sneaker/shoe. I mainly wear clogs so anything enclosed never really feels comfortable to me until these. Worth every penny.

MBT Sport Low is ROCKING!
Zappos REALLY rocks too! I cannot wait for spring and will most assuredly order my MBT sandals from Zappos. My GYN and her staff will most likely be online shortly to order theirs due to your outstanding Customer Service and shipping! I did order these one-half size smaller than my regular walk-run Tennis shoe and am pleased with the fit. I would "suggest" that my other shoes "needed" more toe room because the action of walking is so different, sloppier if you will; whereas in these MBT's the action is so crisp and clean that one's foot is held in place and does not slosh forward! I love the feel of walking upright!
