Customer Reviews MBT Habari

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.

For MBTs they were actually kind of cute. I have arthritis in my feet but they felt great. It did rub my bunion so I had to send them back. But I ordered a different style.

The toe box of this style of MBT is very narrow. I have narrow feet but this toe box is still very narrow and even a larger size would not afford much more room in toe box. But this is a handsome shoe.

As MBT shoes go, this one is very stylish. However, because it only has one adjustable strap--behind the heel--I found I was not able to get the fit I had hoped for. Still, the MBT is an amazing shoe--I have several pairs.

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.

On first wearing these shoes were very comfortable, really liked the rolling action especially when standing, but running in them is a little difficult (running across the street, not actual running) because you end up landing on the bump in the instep. I'd had some problems with calf strain and dodgy knees from running, but after a couple of weeks wearing these, the problem seemed to be worse. It may just have been a period of adjustment, I just didn't wait to find out. I have since taken up yoga and that seems to be helping, so maybe I can go back to these shoes later, because they are cute with jeans.

These look better in person and are fun to wear. Less high than original MBT's so I adjusted to them really well. They are perfect for summer whites. I also later got a pair of MBT sneakers and so these have way less support, but look way better. I totally enjoy wearing them, but they are a bit loose because the overlap strap doesn't provide much support.

Great to wear especially during warm days. I used it for 5 days walking almost the whole day in Disneyword, Epcot, Hollywood studios, Animal Kingdom, and universal Florida just recently. It gave me support, and I did not have any discomfort or pain in my legs or feet. It was a little wide for me in size, but otherwise, very comfortable.

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!

Fairly comfortable, true to size but straps that cross the top of feet are not adjustable and can dig into foot as they swell toward the end of the day. Not sure of the supposed MBT benefit as I have not walked long distances in them yet. Don't look orthopedic.

I love the way these sandals look but the straps hit the bones in the front of my foot in the wrong places making them too uncomfortable to wear. Wish they were more comfortable for my feet. May be fine for others.

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.
