Fantastic Shoe! I just graduated from nursing school and purchased these shoes a little over a year ago. I have worn them for 14+ hours at the time and am always so happy to come home and say "I can't believe my feet and back don't hurt!" I am back to order the white/birch color to coordinate a little better with my nursing uniforms. Yes, these shoes are a little homely, but they are absolutely miracle workers for those of us who need and depend upon our feet, legs, and back to earn a living! I highly recommend the investment. These shoes last a long time and are of a much higher quality than the knock-offs/imitators now available. Sizing is a little tricky, but because of Zappos, it's not really a problem. I also own Dankso professional clogs (which are great too) but these are my all around go-to shoe for long days on my feet.

Got these for Christmas in the Storm color. I read the reviews and I ordered a half size up (8 1/2). I normally wear an 8. My toe touched the end of the shoe. I had to order a 9 in these. Great shoes but sizing is tricky. Thanks to Zappos it\'s not a problem.

I have heel spurs on both feet. I've tried all kind of shoes like Dansko, but nothing worked. MBT shoes did the job. I no longer have heel spurs. I have 2 pairs of MBT Chapas.

I developed a heel problem last spring, from too much exercise. I tried a variety of "cures" over the summer, but still have pain. I was unable to play tennis or walk the beach. I discovered the MBT shoes and am now able to walk, without pain. I still cannot play tennis, however I can walk the beach and be on my feet all day without pain. These shoes have greatly improved my life. Thanks!

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.

I now have 2 pair of these shoes. I get lower back pain when I stand on my feet all day & these have made a BIG difference.\r\nI discovered them after returning from a trip to Africa. It\'s true that the Masai are on their feet & walk ALL day long. Guess this \'technology\' has something to it!!

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 got the Chapa in the birch color and am very very happy. The color is a neutral that complements everything from khaki, to denim, to black. I have a size 8 US but needed a 39 in Chapa. They are so comfortable I wear them everyday to work

MBT Chapa in Chili - These are really nice MBTs! Beautiful nubuck leather and mesh fabric. It pains me to have to return them because I love this color style so much, but I found that they run a half size too small. For reference, I own the MBT Sport Low and wear a 9.5 in that shoe. I did find a different color style of the Chapa in a size 10 at a local store and paid a lot more for them than here at Zappos, but they do fit and are very comfortable. Highly recommend this MBT shoe; just size up.

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 bought these shoes to wear to work. I am a runner and have developed "bad" knees... not only do I wear the shoes to work, but I wear them ALL the time! I NEVER experience knee pain while I am wearing the shoes. WELL worth the money.

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...

I absolutely love this shoe! Walking and hiking can be painful for me because of my Plantar Fasciitis but with these MBT's, I feel no pain!!! Very cushy bottoms and no impact or pressure on my heels. I can't wait to get outside and walk now because of my MBT's. Oh, the shoe's heel is a bit stiff and takes some wearing in. Didn't cause blisters, just stiff.

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.

Rock'n Roll mobility!
Well, they probably aren't for everyone, but for me they are GREAT! I've had extensive surgery and I no longer have a heel strike or toe off... that is until I put on these shoes. They do what my feet and ankles can't; therefore I now have a normal gait. I rated the "look" a 5, because they are well manufactured and there's is no way to cover-up the sole, without loosing the function they provide. Without their look they wouldn't be MBT! By the way, I don't need my orthotics with this shoe... it is ideal for the pronated foot!

great shoes -
I actually love the MBT shoes. I got a blister on one foot, but it has resolved. I think it is important to "transition" into the shoe and I think I may have rushed it. I can feel the muscles in my legs that are being exercised and it is a good pain. It is like floating on air while walking. I bought them because I have bunions and these have been the best therapy shoes so far. I bought the birch white and I think next time I would go with a fun color. I wear size 7 1/2 and have a size 8 MBT. Zappos has awesome service.

The most awesome shoes to help my feet.
I have problems with my feet and these shoes felt great. I was able to put my orthotics and my feet felt great. I wore them for 10 hours the first day even though it said you should not, but I have only worn Birkenstock and Naots for 3 years so I didn't have a problem with my legs or feet learning the new way to walk. Anyway I would not wear any other tennis shoes again. Thanks to MBT I am active again! I bought my normal size.

My Walking Shoes -
This was my second pair of MBT's. I think they are great for walking. I walk 3.5 miles, 5 days a week and they are the reason why I love to walk. I sometimes wear them to work on dress-down day. They are worth every penny! I wear a size 8 in shoes, but I order MBT's in 8.5; as they are built a little different from regular shoes.

MBT Chapa -
I ordered a half size larger because I had read other reviews. I'm glad I did because they fit perfectly. I also appreciated the CD that came with them. It explained how to walk. Without the CD, it might have been a struggle.

Pleased as punch!
I have been curious about these shoes for quite awhile and was not disappointed when I finally bit the bullet and bought some. They are a little funny looking and make you slightly taller. The balance thing takes some getting used to, but it is good for you. I was not sore at all after wearing them quite awhile on the first few days. Do order a half size larger than normal. I think you will really enjoy these shoes! Go for it!

Life changing shoes -
They feel strange at first, but then become completely addictive! Wonderful to walk around and feel the work out on the legs and good posture, too. They look strange, but you don’t care once you feel the effects... (and I am, dare I admit it, a fashion girl!). It’s nice to get the extra inches when wearing jeans and sneakers. Expensive, but worth every penny!

Serious leg work!
When you walk in these shoes, you can feel the burn in your calves and thighs. I know that are toning my legs with every step. The only problem I have is they have rubbed a blister on my left heel...even though I have worn them a number of times. Overall, they are really great and I would definitely recommend them.

Exceptioally pleased -
As a NICU nurse, I'm on my feet for 12 hour shifts. I recommend MBT's to everyone I meet. They have made such a difference in the way my knees, legs and back feel. I have a difficult time not wearing them all the time. I appreciate your rapid delivery. I've never spent this much on shoes before, but I don't regret it. Thanks.

MBT's -
Zappos Customer Service is Outstanding! I was really impressed with how quickly I received my shoes. I am pleased with my MBT's. If you are a first time buyer of MBT's I strongly encourage you to read "how to use" them or "walk" in them first by going to www.mbtshoe.com. I had some numbness in my feet the first day after wearing them for 8 1/2 hrs in Grocery Retail. Apparently you should only wear them for a couple of hours a day for one week. They have improved my posture as well as training me to walk from "heel to toe". I have not had any back pain since I have been wearing the MBT's. What a great workout as well!
