Customer Reviews MBT Habari

Love them, also have in brown. I wear them almost every day in the summer and after 3 years they still look great.

The shoes are great. I was concerned about the straps in the front after reading some of the comments, but I did not have any problems at all after putting them on. And mind you that I usually have to buy wide shoes when it comes to close-toes. \r\nThe arch support is not as good as the Kaya but is still a whole lot better than flat shoes. I love them.

Love these sandals! They are very cute on (more stylish than they appear!) & if you love MBT's, you'll love these! I've got 3 pairs of MBT's now and have to say that my posture has really improved (chronic slumper). In my opinion, the "roll"/size of sole arc is not as big on these (or my MBT boots) as the tennis shoes, so if you're looking for a gradual introduction into instability shoes, these are great for that. These aren't as challenging to walk in as the tennis shoes like the Fora model. I actually slip these on and off, so that's nice. Wear them every day for the past months and no stinkiness! They're durable too. I wear them on many surfaces and they still look new. I know they're a lot of money, but if you're looking for that one sandal you can wear and wear and feel good about the extra calories you're burning, this is it!

I wear MBT\'s almost exclusively.\r\nThis shoe looks more graceful on than in the photos. The straps are comfortable. This style does not compromise the height and sole of the original MBT\'s as do some of MBT\'s styles that make an attempt at gracefulness. Fine for summer office wear or long walks on cement or cobblestone. I own two pair and recommend them highly. I have a wide foot and high arches.

I have to wear these convex soles due to a toe with arthritis. Needless to say, I would rather die than be caught wearing orthopedic shoes! I've gotten so many compliments on these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable and stylish. I bought them to go with dresses and skirts and they certainly don't look like typical, comfortable shoes. They aren't dainty stilettos, of course, but they aren't big clunky athletic type shoes, either.

I'm going to have to give up my girl card for admitting this, but I hate spending money on shoes. $30 at Target would make me cringe. The only reason I tried MBTs is because my mom bought me my first pair. So, the fact that I've since purchased three additional pairs should say something about how much I love these shoes. There is some truth to the claims of shaping and toning your legs and glutes, which is why I wanted to try them in the first place. I kept wearing them, though, because they are unbelievably comfortable. It almost feels like floating, and I can (and have) walked around for hours and felt fantastic. I'm also very skeptical of "oh wow, these shoes cured my near-fatal hangnail condition!" type of claims. However, I am prone to severe headaches (combination of muscle spasms and crappy posture). All I can say is that, when I wear these, I get significantly fewer headaches. Not saying it's because of the shoes, but I'll take it. As far as sizing goes, the velcro strap makes them adjustable. I have a fairly wide foot, but these don't feel too narrow at all.

These are great sandals, although it took a few days to break them in, which is not unusual for any shoe. I think it is one of the nicer looking MBTs.

So comfortable. I can't stand to wear my flip flops any more after trying these. They have also helped me improve my posture and the pain I had in my upper back has gotten a lot better.

I own a few pairs of MBT athletic style shoes. This sandal is adorable, but it ran a Euro-size off for me. I was happy with one size smaller than usual. Also, while my feet aren't freakishly narrow, they felt pretty narrow in these sandals. I didn't have this problem with athletic MBTs. I took them to my shoesmith who bravely adjusted the straps to fit my width by cutting & resewing them. She wouldn't touch the sole (afraid of ripping). Anyway, so now they're very comfortable and super cute. An extra $40 for custom MBT sandals was worth it. I'll live in these. Note: Altering MBTs voids the warranty. Make sure you trust your shoesmith!

I took them out of the box, put them on my feet and didn\'t take them off for the rest of the day. Perfect fit, comfortable. My second pair of MBT sandals.

I have 2 pairs of MBT sneakers which are great for work (I stand up in a workshop all day), and these appealed for casual wear. My fit is I normally wear 7, MBT size 7-3/4. Tried in brown, but the upper and wedge heel colors didn't look good together. Good fit, no rubbing from straps or footbed. Comfortable, looks good w/skirts, shorts and trous. Only complaint is that it's a bit chunky, especially the back strap with the fold over and velcro. Makes it look too casual (like Tevas). I would prefer elastic back strap without extra layer. But this is the best looking comfortable sandal available.

I swallowed hard (price!) and then ordered these prior to a 6 week trip to Scandinavia, knowing I'd be doing many kilometers of walking. I could adore these, I truly could. They are, however, HEAVY, and while that's likely part of the MBT "system", this is also tiring. I'll admit I did not have a lengthy break-in/strengthening period prior to the trip, but still... I haven't given up on MBTs, just want lighter-weight ones, especially with today's luggage limits! Note that I do have wider feet, and these fit well in a 38 (7.5-8 is my usual). And they are a great color with terrific finish work. I'm going to try to work up to them before I take off in a few weeks to Ireland and Poland... and more walking! But I'm also going to try the anthracite "Panda" MBTs, too... just in case!

This is my second pair of MBTs and I love them. They are by FAR the least clunky of all others I have seen and yet still make you “do the work” when you walk. I really feel it in my core and legs when I wear them. They were true to size (I have a wide foot) and I am very happy with them.

Love these! They fit true to size, it took me a bit to adjust the velcro straps, but once I got them right they were very comfortable. These are the best looking MBTs, they are actually cute and no one noticed that they weren\'t just regular sandals.

I am an avid admirer of MBT shoes, having a pair of Sport Lows (which is styled much like an athletic shoe) which I wear just about every day. I thought the Habari might be a good summer alternative. It is cuter than the picture and looks nice in person. The length was true to size, and also the actual shoe width, but I found the front (the straps) of the shoe to be too loose (truly not wide, perhaps just too big?) with no way to adjust. They fit perfectly with a thick pair of socks, but that totally defeats the summer thing. I returned them and will try the MBT Panda.

I bought these shoes after my trainer told me to. I have MS and my right leg is weaker than my left. I have a hard time lifting my toes to have that heal toe movement to walk. This shoe gives me that natural feeling. The shoes were making me strengthen muscles that had I not used in some time. Easy to walk in, and they still looked cute and not orthopedic.

I love the sleek look, friends think I have broken with my MBT tradition! They feel great but are not as bulky as previous year's sandal.

I'm 63, and bought these for the thick soles, as my legs tire easily. The bit of exercise they give calf muscles should help my legs eventually, too! These are very cute shoes, even my fashion conscious daughter likes them, and my hubby commented on them too. I wore them for several hours and the strap cut into the top of my foot a tiny bit. No blisters, but got a red mark, so they do need to be broken in a bit gradually, but I do like them and expect to get a lot of wear out of them in the summer. It's turned cold here in Nevada again, so wearing them will have to wait a bit.
