Customer Reviews MBT Casual

Stealth Shoes - Amazing shoes...completely, unexpectedly amazing. I have had serious knee pain due to torn cartilage for several years. Walking, even light walking at the office, has been torture. After reading the reviews I decided to give these a try. Mindful of the instructions to get used to them slowly I put them on intending to wear them for a few minutes...hah. I wore them all day, with, yes, twinges in my calves, but not bad. A little feeling of pressure on the inner ankle went away by the end of the first day. By the end of the second day I found myself wondering if I'd ever bother with another pair of shoes again. These feel that good. Don't let the looks fool you. When I took these out of the box I thought my wide forefeet would never fit in them...but fit they did, perfectly, and somehow, they make my feet look small. The matte black finish makes them subtle enough for work, even with dressy pantsuits. The soles are absolutely silent, which I like very much (I hate shoes that make clonking or tappity-tapping noise when I walk). The shape of the sole really does somehow make me stand up straighter and walk as smoothly as I could hope for. I can walk for distances, I can go up and down stairs, I can take the dog on trails, none of which I've been able to do for several years. 'Nuff said!

Great!!! My daughter in NY has enjoyed and recommend me to use it. I did, also I gave it as gift to the pastor of my church. We are really enjoying the MBT. It's great for your health.

MBT and Golf - I thoroughly enjoy my MBT casuals. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to correct my back problem. Now with a back stretching device, and the MBT casuals, I not only can walk without discomfort, but can play golf in comfort. I'm not sure if striking the golf ball while wearing MBT's has been attempted, but I find that I am in balance far better than ever before, and after hitting 80-100 golf balls on the driving range, for the first time in years I am free of lower back pain.

MBT casual shoes - The shoes are not for everyone. It does take a break-in period. The overall comfort is great and are easy care. I will buy other styles and will be a repeat buyer on the shoes I did purchase. I'm very satisfied with the performance of the shoes.

MBT Casual - I had a bone spur that was KILLING me. I couldn't shop at Wal-Mart or Sams because of the pain. I went to the foot and ankle specialist ready for surgery when he gave me a prescription for these shoes. It has eight months now and my foot is almost well. I can wear normal shoes again and if I have pain, I wear my MBTs longer. People also compliment me on the good looks. I am totally satisfied.

Saved my hip! Great shoes, relieved chronic hip pain almost overnight. Improves posture immediately.

I have worn this shoe 3-5 days a week for the last 2 years! After two years of regular use, I can offer an excellent testimonial of this particular shoe. I have found that my posture has dramatically improved and my fat-distribution patterns changed to a more balanced, muscular body (I was pear shaped but no more!). The only thing I changed was my shoes. I wear them for work and walking. After two years, the outsole is only slightly worn so I think they will last a long time. I was concerned about spending $250 on a shoe, but in the long run, they were really worth it! A note on style: I love fashionable shoes. This particular shoe is innocuous enough that I can wear it with anything long (no minis). If your heels slip in these or you get a blister breaking them in, try a special lacing technique to hold the heel back as a firm heel hold is the most important thing for fitting. I usually wear a 9 or 9 wide but bought a 40 1/3 (supposedly 9.5). I fit the heels in snugly and my toes have never hit the end of the toe box. My wide feet are not an issue. Despite the lack of "arch support", I feel that the style of the shoe works well this way. I tried arch supports in them and went back to the original shoe. Happy shopping!

MBTs--Great. The shoe may look somewhat "different" to many but I like the looks. The fit, quality, and every thing are to my liking. They are a bit pricey. I wear an insert but with these, that is not needed as the rocker type sole seems to push my flat feet up and give me support. I highly recommend them. I wear a thicker sock (Wigwam from Zappos) than most and that makes the fit great. And Zappos--forget it--I ordered these on a weekend and Monday the shoes were on my door step. You don't get better that that.

I got these shoes for my husband, who spends all day walking and standing on concrete floors at work. He has tried lots of different shoes and orthotics for his hip and foot pain. He was able to wear these all day as soon as he got them, with immediate relief from all pain. His calves felt tired for the first few days because he was using muscles differently, but that went away soon. He is ready to order a second pair because his feet feel so good in these! Of course these shoes are overpriced and kinda dumb-looking, but being pain-free is hard to put a price tag on!

Urban hiker - I walk all over NYC visiting my accounts and decided to put the MBT's to the test. So far, they pass with flying colors! I don't think I can use regular shoes anymore! I will be purchasing them again.

Love these!!! These are great! I have the sneakers version, but these I can wear as regular shoes.

MBT new user - Take a little getting used to but definitely strengthen back and hamstrings.

Extremely happy with this shoe. I bought it for work and my back is benefiting. I am not near as tired at the end of the day.

MBT rocks - I love my MBTs! It took a bit to get used to the way the felt as they are so different than the normal shoe -- but they are great. I'm sure I'll buy more.

Remarkable shoes - My new MBT's came out of the box onto my feet and felt as though I'd walked in them and already broke them in by just lacing them up. The craftsmanship, quality, look and comfort of the MBT is so good that on my upcoming payday I'm ordering the MBT sandals. The leather upper on the casual is soft to the touch but strong in the wear. The sole is remarkable and the rocker action gently exercises my leg and back muscles so I'm getting in shape without having to take long walks. The only thing I have to do is remember to lace the shoes so my heel doesn’t slip in them. That's no problem as they fit better than any other brand or style of shoe I've ever bought. My husband even wore them to walk the mall one day and is soon to get his own pair.

I love my MBT’s - I love my MBT’s (I have 4 pairs), but these are my favorite pair. They are so comfortable and I think they fit the best. I wear them to work at least once a week.

MBT Casual – I was really hoping to be able to buy and wear these shoes. I found that because I have wide feet, the other styles were not wide enough, but these were. They are super cushioned merely by the way they make you stand, plus the way they are made. They are worth the money. The only problem I had, and the reason I didn’t keep them, was that they came up too high around the front of my ankle so that when I would step forward, the top front of the shoe, along with the tongue, was digging into my ankle and was quite painful. My loss. Should these fit you or any of the other styles you can’t beat them. Can’t beat Zappos either.

Miracle - These shoes have helped me in so many ways; they have heeled me (no pun) and maybe eventually I will be comfortable in heels again!! They are that invisible string we were taught to imagine in terms of posture and balance. Pelvic position is perfected as in Pilates... and they last after you take them off, slightly eerie. Please MBT, make them pretty!

I love these shoes! These shoes are so awesome. Lately I have been having some back pain. When I wear my MBT's I am pain free at night. When I don't wear them my back acts up. I have flat feet and am such a klutz but my feet are addicted to these shoes. My balance is great; my posture in them is excellent. When I wear other shoes I find myself rolling as though I have my MBT's on-other shoes are no longer as comfortable. Also, I live out in the country on a horse farm and these shoes are holding up better than any others to the elements.

MBT Casual - This was my first pair of MBT's! I bought this style so I could wear them to work. I think they look like "old lady" shoes but I don't really care what they look like because I love what they feel like and what they have done for my legs and ankles and thighs and rear!! I really didn't have any trouble getting used to them. I do think it's important though to gradually break them in so your legs and feet get used to them. One problem now is...I want lots more MBT's and they are expensive so I'm going to have to pace myself! Maybe Zappos could offer a "frequent buyer" club...like you get a certain percentage off your next pair of MBT's...ANYway...the only other problem I see is that now I don't want to wear any of my other shoes...of which I have lots and lots! (I did order my usual size but they were too small, my toes were at the end of the shoe, so I sent them back and ordered the next size up-perfect! I also love Zappos return policy! And I love the fact they ship next day air for free!)

MDT Black Shoe - I had a serious accident with a broken leg on top of arthritis of my hip joints. These shoes are wonderful. I am walking now without pain when I wear this brand of shoe. It takes a little getting used to but they are great.

Like walking on air :) These were my first pair of MBT's. I've owned them for 1 week and really love them. Orthotics are not required for these shoes as they provide all the support you should need. Run a little small.

The Awesome MBT - Currently I own three pairs of MBT's. The red pair is just plain fun, the black and brown pair are for work and I am on my feet all day long. Comfort is awesome and I don't have problems with my sciatica any more, plus my legs are visually strengthened.

A believer - If you have knee problems, please try these shoes. I am ordering my third pair and now sandals. The impact on my chronic knee pain has been absolutely unbelievable. Friends are now trying them and love them, too. JUST TRY THEM!

Get a half size bigger than what you wear. I love MBT shoes. I bought the classic sport shoe 6 months ago and I am hooked. Not the cutest shoe but they do give you legs a work out. I have noticed that my thighs are slimmer and I have nothing else to attribute it to (i.e. no dieting, no exercising, etc.) other than the shoes. I am a fan for life. I had to return this one b/c it runs small.
