So far...
I initially purchased these sneakers a half size bigger than my normal size due to the previous reviews but I was surprised to find that even those were just too snug. I ended up exchanging them for a full size larger than I normally wear. I wear them at my part-time retail job so I don't get as much use out of them as I wish but so far they seem great. Haven't noticed any real body changes but I think that's due to my not wearing them enough. Believe me though, if I could wear them to the office every day I would!

Happy Feet -
I have never spent so much money on a pair of shoes before. I got them to encourage me to walk more, which they do - but they are also very comfortable if you are just out running errands or standing for a long time. They are awkward on very uneven ground, otherwise great. I had to get a half size bigger than my normal size or my toes were cramped, but now I do have truly happy feet.

They really work!
These shoes run really small, my street shoe size is an 8 and the most comfortable size for me was a 9 1/2. They make your legs look really long & now I get a work out while I'm working! They are worth every penny.

If at first you don't succeed..
Thank heavens for Zappos easy returns. I really love these shoes, but they are rather hard to fit. I tried the MBT Wave first, and they felt true to size, but tight across the ball of the foot and loose in the heel. These M.Walks feel much better in both those areas, but they are about a half size too small in length. (Since the Waves were okay, I did not heed the advice to order large.) I'm trying again, hoping the third time will zero in on a good fit.

Fun!
Very high rounded bottom to the shoe reminds me of ski boots - not a pretty look but definitely makes your fitness walk challenging and toning. I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear and had to send them back for a full size larger since the toe box is so narrow.

I am on my feet a good 12-15 hours a day. At the end of the day my feet are killing me. I was looking for a shoe to help relieve the pain. I've had these shoes a few weeks now, and I'm still hurting. I can't blame it on the shoe, as they are more comfortable than anything I've previously owned. Maybe when you spend this much time on your feet there isn't anything that's going to help you. They do take a little getting used to. I actually love the look of the shoe. I have the green ones and the first thing I heard out of my teenage daughter was, "Where did you get those awesome shoes?" I certainly do feel more definition in my calf muscles. While these shoes are more comfortable than most, I can't say that I agree with all the hype about them. The only thing that's going to make you lose weight is diet and exercise; these are not miracle fat burners. As for the price, while I do love the shoe, I can't say as it was worth the amount that I paid for them. For this much money, I expected more.

Love them!!!
I really love this shoe...Be warned, it took me about three weeks to break them in, and I did get a couple of blisters. Now that they are broken in, I walk 5 miles a day in them, and wear them for errands. I definitely get a better workout in this shoe than my running shoes.

Great shoe!
I hesitated buying these because of the cost, but once I broke down and bought a pair I wondered why I waited so long! Extremely comfortable, once you put them on you don't want to take them off! I bought them specifically for taking long walks, but I end up wearing them all weekend. They are sized small, so order one size up from your normal shoe size.

No more cellulite!
I have been walking in my MBT’s for about 6 weeks and while I was shopping with a friend: she exclaimed-"Where did your cellulite go?" I looked in the mirror and jumped for joy. I wish I had before and after pictures, unbelievable results! Thank you to the designer of MBT.

MBT M walk -
Great shoe, comfortable ONCE you get the right size--they run VERY small. I usually wear a 6 1/2 gym shoe, but needed a 7 1/2 in these. Thank god for Zappos free shipping/returns!

Great shoe -
I was not sure about spending so much for a shoe. I have had foot and back problems from standing at work. I will buy more!!! For the comfort. I now take walks with my little dog and I could not do that before. They take a little getting used to, so take it slow a first and watch the DVD. P.S. I'm a shoe lover from way back, MBT may not be cute, but boy do they feel good!!!

I love these. Love them!
Everything they say about these shoes is true. I walk a lot for exercise and usually wear Nike Shox. One of the reasons I got these, was because I had a bad ankle break and needed more rehab once the hardware was removed. These shoes use the entire foot and work smaller muscles. I can feel my ankle getting limber and strong. When I walk at a 3.8/4.0mph pace, though, I’ve started wearing the MBTs. I can tell I'm working harder, my legs already look different. I have also started wearing them to do errands and such, and when I'm doing weight training.
I'm thrilled.

Amazing -
I love my MBT’s. The shoe looks smaller than it is. It fits tightly, especially in the toes, which takes some getting used to. Walking in these is like walking in soft sand. They make my daily walk more invigorating!

So far - so good -
I have been wearing mine for two weeks. They are very comfortable and I think they are very cute. The suggestion to order half-size up was perfect for me.
Not sure if they are making a huge difference in my body, yet. However, I like to wear them. That is a start!

I'm in love -
Okay, so we all know they aren't gorgeous, and frankly that has kept me from wearing them 24/7, but I LOVE these shoes! I bought them to replace my gym shoes, figuring that every little bit helps. Not only are they great in the gym, but I can actually balance better on things than without them! The shoe aligns you so well that it has actually changed my walk to be more graceful and elegant...but only when the shoe is on, which of course cancels out the elegant part! I am going to get more pairs of these since I got the green and black ones that are not very flexible style-wise. Buy them, you'll love them!

My first pair of MBT's and I love them! I tried another style first but the sizing is small and this was the only pair they had in my size when I reordered - not a problem! They are great!

I love these shoes. My boss's personal trainer recommended them to her and when she liked them, I ordered a pair for myself and a friend who has back problems.
These sneakers are very comfortable after you get used to walking in them. The step is almost "bouncy" and they force you to walk correctly. In addition to the back, they seem very good for the legs and knees. The only drawback I can see is that you have to be careful of not getting them too wet. I ordered a size larger but when I first put them on they felt tight. After walking around in them for awhile your heel settles in and they're fine. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who walks a lot.

Cuter than the other versions!
Like these better than the originals. Much more narrow in the front. Good calf/hamstring workout especially on the treadmill.

MBT M Walk -
This is my second pair of MBT shoes. They are comfortable - great after bunion surgery and several broken bones in my foot. They definitely help my lower back problems and since they rock they make walking easier since I have arthritis in my feet. I really feel like I have "spring in my step" and I can walk on any terrain.

I keep trying to find a style in MBT that both fits and looks good. I am looking for that relief from backaches that come from standing in a classroom all day. The fit wasn\'t too bad on these, but my toes were touching the inside front of the shoe a bit. The MBT website says that is ok, though. I had no heel slip, either, something I\'ve found with other styles. But, I just didn\'t care for the silver X designs on these. I felt that I looked like a Skateboardin\' Granny. They are also too sneakery looking for work shoes. So, back they go.

I've had two knee surgeries to reconstruct and repair my right PCL. These shoes are helping to strengthen my hamstring muscles. Takes a bit of getting use to when first wearing the shoes, but I like them.

Buy half a size bigger than you usually wear. My doctor advised me to buy these shoes for a stress fracture in my foot. They improve my posture and my foot feels better when I walk in them. This model is heavy and takes time to adjust to the weight. I plan to buy another pair in the near future but I would try a lighter weight shoe. I am very pleased with Zappos customer service.

MBT M Walk Pink, Gray and White -
This is my first pair of MBT's and my first time to order from Zappos. I give this style of MBT’s 4 Stars and I give Zappos a full 5 Stars. Received the correct product and size, well packaged with very quick shipping. Ordered on a Monday evening, received on Thursday. I normally wear an 8.5 and the 9.5 in this shoe is a perfect fit (full size larger). I love these shoes!! My entire left foot was brutally crushed in hydraulics when I was a small child requiring numerous surgeries over many years to rebuild. I have always had severe pain in the metatarsal area with any shoe until I discovered the Chung Shi Atlanta style and now the MBT. It does take a little time to get used to wearing these shoes and I require a higher arch support which can easily be added to the shoe. I am on my feet, constantly walking for 10 hour days at work and I could wear the Chung Shi's all day from day one (no pain). These MBT's are taking a little longer to adjust to and they are a little more snug on my WIDE feet but they are still quite comfortable and I don’t have any foot pain when I am wearing them. I definitely recommend ordering a full size larger in this shoe.

I have been trying different kinds of footwear designed to burn calories, improve posture, and strengthen the body. I was previously wearing Earth shoes (very comfortable!), I’d been hearing so much about MBTs that I really wanted to try them - finally they came out with a non-leather version. They are definitely unique and I do feel my posture improving when I wear them. I wish I had listened to advice, and purchased a half size bigger, because I ended up with some foot pain and had to stretch them with a shoe stretcher. I can’t say they were hard for me to adjust to in terms of the balancing act of wearing them, but maybe it helped that I had been wearing Earth shoes first. Other than the fact that they run small, I can report that I do have more soreness than usual in the middle of my feet if I’ve been wearing them all day, I think due to the curved base of the shoes. I am on my feet anywhere from 6-10 hours a day. I should also mention that I have received a lot of compliments on them. I think they are even cuter in person!

I love MBTs! These are my fourth pair of MBTs and my second pair of M.Walks. I Like the M.Walk best because it is the coolest looking one and is so comfortable. I have a bad back and knee and these are the only shoe I wear to do my walking workout (or any other workout for that matter). I even wore them for physical therapy and they helped with that! These saved me on a recent trip to London, we walked all over the city, and I suffered very little because of my M.Walks. My feet never hurt either! My only wish would be that they could make a cooler looking shoe and sandal. I wear an 8.5-9 depending on the shoe and I buy a 43 1/3 in these. Thanks Zappos for the fantastic service!
