Customer Reviews MBT M.Walk

Cute shoe. Good premise. Bad execution. I ordered an 8 (normally wear a 7). The shoe was quite comfortable going on, just like a nice cushy sneaker. However, it did not feel any BETTER than my Adidas or even my Skechers that I wear for knocking around town. Then I tried walking around the living room (carpeted surface). The shoes felt bouncy - like any sport shoe might. I did not really notice any of the so-called 'stabilization' features. I did notice my feet immediately underpronated in these shoes. Perhaps this is part of the stabilization feature but since I spend so much time trying to correct my underpronation, I'm not going to buy shoes that exacerbate it.

Good?-yes; Worth the price?--not sure - I must agree that this shoe works more and different muscles than a normal shoe. I can definitely feel it in my backside! However the marketing hype seems unjustified. Although the rocker sole helps force a different gait, you still must work to optimize it. You can work to alter your gait in a normal shoe too. The footbed is rather hard, but the shoe is too snug to comfortably add a softer liner unless I wear very thin socks. It's heavy, and seems warmer than I'd expect of a shoe with a mesh upper. Unlike some people. I don't object to the look of the shoe (I have the green ones). I think it's kind of cool. I've gotten compliments.

Not Satisfied - I wear a size 5 and the first time I ordered I ordered my size, WAY TOO SMALL. I went to a shoe store and tried one on in a 5 1/2, it seemed to feel right, but they would have to order the color I wanted, so I ordered the 5 1/2 from Zappos. The shoes arrived in two days. I started wearing them and at first they were ok, but as the day wore on they feel like they are too small, too. I tried several times to wear them, but it feels like my feet are crushed into the front of the shoe. Now, I can't return them because they have been worn and I don't wear them because they are too small. I don't know how to find the true size and I'm not willing to spend money again to find out.

OUCH - I am a runner. I run in the morning, but I have some friends that wanted to speed walk at night. I thought these shoes would give more of a workout. All they did was give me HUGE blisters and ruin the way I run. I gave them three different tries and nothing improved. This is alot of money for blisters and retraining my feet to run properly again.

Not very comfortable - I bought these sneakers because of all the benefits they claim to have. I have never had sneakers that give my feet burning sensation until now. Wow, what a world of pain. I did not feel I was working out harder than usual, or that my posture improved. All I felt is an excruciating pain in my feet and a sadness about spending money on these shoes.

I had three pairs of MBTs that I loved but didn't wear very often. This summer I placed them in a cloth box (along with my other brands) and put them in the garage in very hot weather. The soles of all 3 MBTs melted and the shoes had to be thrown away. The other brands were fine. I hate to think what NBTs use on their soles!

I dont even want to give 1 Star I dont even want to give 1 Star. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I have purchased 3 pairs of their shoes and only 1 pair did not fall apart. After 6 months of repeated emails they finally responded. I returned the shoes to Singapore with their promise of a refund and return credit. They now have my shoes, I have no refund or credit and they will not respond to my emails. They are a con, incompetent and completely unstrustfull. DONT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY

Order Big - I didn't realize I was supposed to order a size and a half bigger. I ordered a half size bigger and have huge blisters! They were a little snug but not uncomfortable, but after a long walk I developed blisters. I have a friend who this happened to also. An awful lot of money for unwearable sneakers. Why can't they adjust their sizes?
