Customer Reviews MBT Sport Low

Live up to hype - This shoe is great if you have any foot or leg problems, I like the cushioning which is better then any other shoe I have tried. I walk at least three miles and would have heel pain and leg soreness after I was done, it is pretty much gone. People who complain about feet sweating should try Smartwool socks. I don't think that they would be great for running or unstable conditions until you are used to them, but for walking on hard surfaces there is nothing better. One of the few things I have found that live up to the hype. The delivery time and service was great, I did not have to try any of the returns since I liked them out of the box.

MBT shoes - I got these shoes because I have Fibromyalgia and I stand all day at my job. After a ten hour day my legs would hurt. After buying these shoes it has really cut down on my pain. You need to get them a half size bigger than what you wear. I love them and plan on buying more. And the service from Zappos was great.

Very comfortable shoes! I'm an RN and I bought these to try for work. They are SO comfortable and seem to cause better posture and smoother steps when walking. They look a bit different, but I'm seeing more of these in the hospital. A bit expensive so it's not an impulse buy, but then I've spent more on electronics without thinking twice.

AWSOME!!! Love these shoes. I walk 6 mi. a day and these are the most comfortable shoes ever!!! I have fallen arches and the support is great. After wearing these shoes and walking I lost 6lbs this week. They were a little clumsy at first to get used to because they rocked when you walked but they are so bouncy that my knees don't hurt like in normal shoes. LOVE them.

MBT sport - This pair of sport shoes is incredible! I have seen some reviews that claim a feeling of walking on sand - this is absolutely true! I am wearing them as much as possible on weekends and they are both comfortable and attractive. - GB, Miami

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A PAIR. They are very comfortable. Great if you are standing around for a long time or just for a walk. Great to help with your posture and relief on your legs. Everyone should get a pair. It is worth the money.

Undecided - Have had my MBTs for about 18 months. Had to try many sizes on to get the right fit. Heel is too wide and my foot slips. Find them very hard to get tight enough to keep my heel from slipping. When I do get them tight enough the circulation on the top of my foot is cut off due to a high instep. Took a while to learn to walk in them. Do find they are very beneficial to leg strength and posture. My legs really feel as if they've had a super workout after a long walk. The inserts have no arch support and aren't very cushioned so I had to replace them. My main objection to MBTs for ordinary wear is I feel very unsteady in them. They are not made for walking on an uneven surface.

Best buy I ever made - I love these shoes. I've been using them for the last 4 weeks, walking (some running) at least 4 days a week, and already went down a size in pants and I feel and look better. Just ordered the 2 inch today! I've recommended to others and so far 2 friends have purchased!

Great shoes! A friend of mine told me about these shoes and how great they are. They are very comfortable and really can feel them working your legs. Highly recommend.

Great Exercise - MBT is all it says it is. They really strengthen walking muscles and also seem to let me walk faster. One minor drawback is that when the shoes are new they require frequent re-tying due to the stiffness of the sole. But, overall, it's a great value. MBT has another satisfied customer.

Expensive but WORTH it - I wasn't sure I believed the hype around this shoe and was worried about spending the money. The free shipping on both ways helped with that. The shoe does look a little "chunky" but it is so comfortable that I don't mind and even feel a little uncomfortable in other shoes. The good reviews are true. The workout I get is great and my posture has improved in only a few weeks.

Best shoes from best e-store!!! I am a newcomer to the MBT line and I absolutely love them! It is essential to break yourself in as they suggest, because they are indeed a piece of sports equipment. I have several orthopedic abnormalities so I bought these hoping to stay away from a total knee replacement. I may not have found the fountain of youth but these shoes have made a huge difference in the pain in my feet, back and knees. I was starting to walk like a caveman (no offense :-)) due to pain, but these help you to walk more upright and even to breathe better. Blessings to Zappos because it did take me three times to get the right fit but they were always so helpful and with a smile in their voice --- I even received a wonderful note wishing me good luck with my bad knee. Service above and beyond---I love these guys!

Plantar fasciitis - I am a personal trainer who has a mean case of plantar fasciitis. My MBT's have helped me heal the constant ache and pain in my heels. I believe it is due to the inability to stand directly onto the heels of my feet. My MBT's are constant reminders to stand tall and not rest on the heels of my feet. I love my MBT's and highly recommend them to anyone with foot problems.

Comfort, not style - These are terrific shoes. I bought them following a knee injury and they are very helpful. Stylish, not so much.

THE best shoe! The MBT shoe was recommended to me and I am SO happy I purchased a pair. I normally would not spend this much on a pair of shoes, but they are like a piece of exercise equipment. They are so comfortable too! I can totally tell a difference when I put on my other tennis shoes (for gardening, etc.) I have arthritis in my knees and these shoes have eased the pain. I would recommend these shoes to anyone! And, definitely buy them through Zappos because you get them the next day! You can't wait to get your pair of these shoes and go for a walk! Enjoy!

MBTs - Very comfortable walking shoe. I swear they do what they advertise!

MBT and foot surgery recovery - I recently underwent surgery for tarsal tunnel surgery along with a partial plantar fascia division. The doctor told me recovery is 8-10 months and I am at 3 months now. I was having trouble finding a comfortable shoe that works well with my situation. Anyway, my sister-in-law recommended MBTs to me, so I went and tried them. I LOVE THEM! My doctor told me that I could work 4-6 hours 2-3 days a week. Well, I actually worked 3-8 hours shifts and my feet felt/feel great! I am a bartender, so I am on my feet 8 hours straight per shift. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone who is on their feet long term. I definitely intend to buy more pairs of these as soon as I can fit them in my budget! I noticed they have hiking boots, too, which was another one of my concerns. These shoes give me the ability to work and do the things I thought I might not do again for quite some time. Thank God for giving this idea to the creator of MBT shoes!!!

MBT SPORT LOW - Love the comfort. Ample toe room. Easy to put on and off. Work in the O.R. 5 days a week and my feet and legs no longer ache even after a 12 hr day.

Comfort in time - I love the idea of this shoe, using muscles in your legs that have been ignored because of flat surfaces. However, it takes a bit of time to get use to and with that comes a bit of discomfort, but over time, (maybe a week or so depending on your physical condition), it becomes a mini workout for your lower body. Now I love wearing them and do so almost every day!

Ugly but fun - I got these after my hair stylist showed them to me. I thought they were hideous (they look like an orthopedic shoe), but was wanting to give my daily walks a bit more of a challenge. It worked -- I can really feel it in my legs -- but they're also just more fun to walk in!

Lives Up To Hype, Worth The Price - Pro: Possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. After you get used to MBT, normal shoes feel really weird and unsupportive. Definitely sense different muscles being used when walking or standing. Posture instantly straightens. Zappos shipping/service is incredible. Con: Poor traction. Not sure about durability of materials, especially heel. No research on long term 5-10 year affect of wearing shoes. DVD is slightly cult like. The goofy walk reminds me of John Cleese. I have never spent more than $100 on a pair of shoes--until now. MBT is worth every penny of the $250.

Great Shoes! I have plantar fasciitis with post tibial tendonitis which causes much pain when walking. I wear orthotics everyday and I have had cortisone injections to ease the pain. Finding good shoes has been an expensive process. I own Mephisto's, Ecco's, Keen's, etc. After reading the posted comments about the MBT's, I decided to try a pair based on the positive reviews. I am happy to say that these are the best of the bunch. I even wear them without orthotics! The comfort they bring me has been remarkable. I would highly recommend them to everyone for prevention of future foot and back problems as well as people with existing injuries. Great job!

Awesome comfort - These shoes are all they say they are. I have very bad lower back disc issues. I started slow with them and felt a little pain as I got used to them. Now I can't live without them. They aren't so attractive, but they make your legs look great, so that makes up for it!

Awesome shoe... I'm normally a 5 1/2 or 6 and I ordered a 6 based on other reviews and they fit perfectly. I haven't had any issues with blisters or discomfort. Actually, I've had this problem for ages with nerves or something in a few of my toes getting weird and my toes would cramp up, but since I got these shoes it hasn't happened once! It's amazing. Also, you can totally tell your posture is forced to be straight - I find it impossible to slouch while wearing these. And when you walk for awhile, you can feel your calves, thighs and butt working extra hard. They're really effective at what they're marketed to do, I think. Not the sexiest shoe, but I got black and they look fine with jeans or long workout pants. I'm glad I got them.
