Customer Reviews MBT Sport Low

This is a great shoe adding more "exercise" to my routine power walks. Not bothered by appearance, as I use it strictly for exercise.

MBT a great shoe! I was told that MBT made a shoe that would help my back pain. I bought the shoe with skepticism, but after wearing them gradually for a few days, my lower back pain went away. They are hard to get used to but once you do, they help you stand up straight and all of your aches and pains go away. Plus, they look cool!

Everyday exercise - It is great to be able to work and exercise at the same time. They aren't the greatest looking shoe but when you can kill 2 birds with one stone I say go for it!!! Just wish they were a little less pricey!

Best feeling shoes I’ve ever had on my feet - There is really nothing to compare this shoe to. It is worth every penny. I've had the Sport Low 6 months now, did not get it through Zappos but an independent store. 2 months ago I did get a pair from Zappos the brown sandals. 2 pairs and my feet are in heaven. I have neuropathy in my feet and I'm not really steady on my feet. No problem considering you do have to balance in these shoes. You do feel it in your legs. There is no built in arch support but it comes naturally from the sensor. It cradles your entire foot and feels like you have a real arch support. The feeling you'll never experience in any other shoe. Walking on uneven ground is trickier and it's best to wear other shoes in those conditions but on sidewalks, treadmills, basic walking GREAT. I am a nurse and on my feet and for the 1st time pain free and no longer need my orthotics as not recommended in these shoes. Zappos is unbeatable with customer service. I've ordered other shoes as well.

MBT: The only brand I can wear without arthritis pain! I LOVE MBT's! This is my 5th pair! I have some really annoying arthritis pain in my left hip. With any other shoe, I hobble around. With MBT's I can walk and walk and walk! The rolling action is wonderful. I can't recommend this brand highly enough! Zappos is awesome!

I didn't buy my MBT's because of pain; I bought them because of the supposed fitness benefits that are gained by wearing the shoes. Immediately I noticed 100% improvement in posture. I have had my shoes for a little over a week now and find that I have more energy and overall feel better than I did before I got my MBT's. I notice myself standing properly and holding in my abdominal muscles even when barefoot or wearing other shoes. I was professionally measured by a local MBT salesperson and much to my surprise purchased a half size larger than I usually buy. Disappointed that I will not be able to wear these this winter as they come with a warning about not wearing them on salted surfaces and in Illinois we use a lot of salt in the winter. Other than that, no complaints.

5 star shoes - It took a few weeks to break in (blisters on the backs of my feet), but once I found the right combination of socks and used them for about 3 weeks, they are wonderful! Need instructions for best results. Everyone has a different opinion.

Best Comfortable Unfashionable Shoe - I'm a nurse who has suffered from years of back pain. Over the years I've tried a lot of athletic and nursing shoes but they did not aid in relieving my pain. So when I had heard about the MBTs, I was very leary at first because a lot of companies don't live up to their claims. Also, these shoes are expensive and ugly (not a good combination). Anyway, due to my chronic back pain and the amount of hours I stand on my feet at work, I decided to try these shoes after two weeks of researching them. I immediately noticed my posture improve 100%. In these shoes, I automatically do not slouch when walking or standing. My back does not hurt when wearing these shoes. After wearing these shoes, my legs feel like they have had a little workout.

Best Shoe Ever - These shoes are great. It took me a week to get used to them and now I won't wear anything else.

Love the way they feel BUT I ordered my true size and as I walked my heel was slipping out of the sneaker and I developed a blister. Now I am trying them with two pairs of socks. I'll let you know how that works.

I had an ankle fusion and regular sneakers and shoes made my leg and lower back hurt terrible because I cannot bend that ankle anymore. Now these MBT sneakers are wonderful!! They have that rocking affect and my lower back and legs do not hurt! I am walking much better and love them!!

Rave - I can't live without these shoes. My back has never felt better!

Daily 10,000 Steps - It took a little getting used to walking and standing still in these shoes. I also got a blister on my right heel. After healing though, I find the shoes to be comfortable and great to walk in. Just keep looking straight ahead and walk upright. Use Super Socks, or something similar that has a little cushioning. I wouldn't trade these shoes for any other walking shoes.

MBT - If you have lower back pain, this shoe actually will help. The contour makes you stand better aligned and helps strengthen your leg/lower back muscles

Love them! I work in a hospital lab and am on my feet a lot. My legs don't get tired and if I could afford it I would buy another pair to wear off of work. Not in the budget at the moment but I love them.

LOVE 'EM! These are awesome - Wish they didn't cost so much - but they are worth it!

A really great concept - I was having a very tough time with my feet aching after exercise. It takes a little time to get used to a new way of walking but they are brilliantly designed, amazingly comfortable, and easy to wear. They are not as difficult to look at as the other styles-I really recommend these.

I love my MBTs - I LOVE my MBTs. They're an experience and they almost feel like you're wearing pogo sticks. I call them my "Oingo Boingo" shoes. I actually look forward to putting them on because they give me energy. Definitely worth the investment, just knowing that I'm burning extra calories...OINGO BOINGO!!

If I only had one pair of shoes these would be it!!! I was skeptical at 1st but after wearing these shoes for 1 month I can honestly say for me they are the best shoes in terms of comfort and performance I have ever worn. It’s not an instant change but after wearing them awhile you can feel your leg and glute muscles begin to be more developed. I have had chronic problems with my lower legs (knee to ankle) but these shoes have cured that and also helped to reduce my varicose veins! Try them you won't be sorry. Be prepared...you will probably develop blisters at first but will get used to them in a week or so.

MBT - OK, these things are ugly, orthopedic even, but I bought them for the benefits, not the fashion statement. I work on TV sets and stand much of the day. I figured as long as I'm standing why not tone my back side. These really work. They also engage my core muscles all day. At the end of the day, I feel good but don't use these in place of exercise; I still try to do cardio 3-5X a week. I even have walked up to 1&1/2 miles in these shoes and as I passed by windows saw that my reflection was perfectly poised, and that coming from a gal with terrible posture. I have friends who also have recently purchase these and they rave of them as well. I know they are expensive, but I really feel I spent my money well on these. I'm a fashionista too so if I can wear these, anyone can...

Great Posture! I couldn't live without my MBT's! They keep me head high, shoulders back and back straight as a board. I love them. I ordered White, I absolutely love them. They are great for walking, however I find that running on the treadmill is not suitable for this shoe. I use Adidas for extremes sports. But, the MBT's are worth every penny spent for they truly come through on body posture and tons of relief! Buy them and enjoy them :)

MBT SPORT LOW REVIEW - I purchased these shoes hoping I would get relief for lower back ache and knee pain. My job has me on my feet most of the day and I am able to wear the shoes about six hours a day. The swelling and pain behind my knees is reduced by wearing the shoes. The shoes are not very good looking, and vanity doesn't allow me to wear them out on the street. I highly recommend them for people with similar problems.

MBT Sport Low - Now I know what all the hype is about. From the moment I put them on, I loved them! I walk straighter and I have less back pain. I had no problem getting used to walking in them, but the instructional DVD was interesting. Well worth the extra money.

The MTB Sport Low - This is an amazingly comfortable shoe. When you first put it on you get this odd teetering bouncy feeling, but you adjust in no time. I wished I could keep them on permanently, and when cooler weather comes I probably will. The negative heel is wonderful for posture.

Happy feet - I work in retail and walk approximately four miles a day on the job. I have arthritis in my hips and back and am always looking for shoes that will help ease the day. UN-BELIEVABLE! How pain free I have been since starting to wear the MBTs. I have slept without back pain for two weeks since wearing these MBTs and my workday fatigue has been greatly reduced. I had been thinking I would need to retire or work part time due to daily pain, but with these, I am good to go! I just ordered the MBT sandal today because I want another pair. They are weird to walk in the first few minutes, but they have caused my New Balances to go to the back of the closet.
