Runs a little small. I usually wear either a 10 or a 10.5; I ordered a 10.5 but the toe bed was too short and the straps over the top of my foot a little tight. They looked pretty good, though, so I'm disappointed. No larger size seems to be available.

I wear a size 10.5 and because the MBT sandal style I purchased last year appears to be discontinued, I tried the Habari. I have flat feet and chronic lower back pain so MBTs are a must. These I have to return b/c my feet are also narrow and there were no adjustments near top of shoe for width.

I bought these, and am not too happy as the straps don't have any give across the top of the foot. I wish they fit better, because all my other MBTs are fine.

I never owned a pair of MBT's. They have a nice look, and fit, but I thought the soles were very heavy. Maybe the footbed needs break in time, but I found it hard and thought it should be spongier or softer. I am returning because I prefer a lighter weight sandal. I also didn't feel stable on the unusual shaped sole. Just not for me.

I have another pair of MBT sandals which are adjustable across the front, middle and back of the foot (don't see them on the website currently but they look something like Hataris). Those MBTs are great, but these are terrible. They rub right in front of my ankle and give me blisters on both feet, and there is no way to adjust them at all. They also have very thin soles for MBTs, almost don't have an MBT style sole at all, so I'm wondering why I paid so much for them. Wish I had returned them, but I didn't get them from Zappos, so I couldn't.

I love my MBT Habari sandals. They are so comfortable and my feet feel great. I have no knee or back problems, but I am proactive and purchased them before any signs of trouble. I give these sandals my highest recommendation for comfort, being stylish and healthy for your feet.

I can't tell you folks enough how great these shoes are. I have lower back issues and just returned from 5 days of touring Santa Fe, New Mexico, where we walked everywhere for hours on end, without pain. I was even stopped a couple of times by people who commented on how cute the style was. I love these shoes and highly recommend them. You will also get a great workout too!

This MBT Habari sandal is really great and worth every penny I've spent. I have degenerative joint disease (both knees) and since I started wearing MBT products (this is my 5th) I don't experience knee stiffness anymore. I'm so thankful I've learned about it...great shoes!!!

These are my 4th pair of MBTs, but the first pair of sandals. They are also the first pair that anyone stopped me to tell me were cute; and I’m glad that MBT has gotten a tad more style conscious. I refer to my black sport highs as Hermina Munster shoes, however, I’d rather have shoes which look goofy and feet that look good than shoes that look good and feet that look goofy. My MBTs are the shoes which if I wear them most of the time, allow me to wear heels and other styles for short periods the rest of the week.

They came really quickly! I love the way they look - even better than the picture. What looked white (part of the sole) is an attractive cream color. I wish the instep was higher, but they feel OK. When I tried to wear them with my orthotics, the straps wore uncomfortably. I’m glad to have MBTs for business (the Mary Janes with orthotics fit like a dream and have really toned legs, strengthened trunk) and now leisure. For exercise, I might try out the new Sketchers sneakers which are supposed to have the same exercise potential.

These sandals are the most comfortable I’ve ever worn! I have them in brown and the white. I have virtually no plantar fasciitis pain when I wear them - excellent sandal.

LOVE THESE! At first they rubbed on the back of my heel, but after a few wears, they broke in and now fit great!

So there are lots of cheap imitations around now...Caveat Emptor...Forgive...I went to one of those English schools where they taught Latin...Buyer beware, CE means. Masai Barefoot Technology is the real deal...I went to Tanzania, back in the day, and the Masai really do walk barefoot with that rolling walk. Now, we can't do that in our pestilential suburbs, but we can have these shoes...They are FAB. I love them. I wear silly heels from time to time. And I'm mid 50s, so I'm old enough to know better...But these shoes save my poor feet from the occasional silly heel fantasy nonsense. The first ones I bought, from a brick and mortar retailer... I was told I could run in them...Like a fool I did and I did an 8 miler...I was almost crippled. So don't, EVER do this. Otherwise, you can WALK forever in them, and I even hike in them. They are great. And Zappos is about the best online e-tailer you will find. The service is superb, and, more often than not, your loot comes in a day. Talk about good price and instant gratification...Zappos rules...

Nice sandal - This is my third pair of MBTs, but my first sandal. It has the typical wonderful feel that one would expect from MBT. I wear these because of the great cushion that they provide for my damaged spine. I just put them on and walk. No "break-in" period for me. Great shoe. :-)

Pain much less in knees and lower back - I have degenerative disc disease in my back. The pain in my left knee nearly went away in about 10 minutes after wearing my first pair. This is my third pair. I have winter, summer, and sandals. Thank you for making something attractive for older women.

RAVES! I have a naturally wide foot, but this sandal is absolutely fine - and true to size unless you have long toes (I have "no toes to speak of", so this was beyond perfect for me). And these are stylish too, in the birch (like "bone" color). My first pair of MBTS - and doubt will be last. Did I mention the COMFORT? Oh SQUISH for joy-yet not TOO squishy - you still feel like you have firm support under your tootsies. Will be using for 5 week research trip to Scandinavia; a great-looking yet supportive shoe is vital. May order another pair before I go. Almost the BEST part of all? Had them ON my feet when the shipping info notice came from Zappos in my e-mail: NOW THAT IS SERVICE!

Love these sandals! Comfy, look good and worth the price. With MBT remember to order sandals in the size you regularly wear. (And their closed toe shoes a half size bigger.) They are easy to wear and walk in and the leather is fabulous! Get you some and quit complaining about your achy feet!

This size is larger than the normal MBTs & wider than Staka. I bought the smallest size I had ever worn in MBT - 37 & I usually wear a size 37 2/3 for sandals & 38 1/3 for shoes.

Most comfortable sandal - I have quite a few MBTs and love this sandal. The sole is lower than the other MBTs, but I think it is more comfortable, less rocking. Cute on the foot, too.

Love this sandal! I bought it in chocolate and I just finished ordering it in birch as well! Gorgeous and super comfortable as are all MBT's. With most MBT styles I go up 1/2 size but not with sandals. I ordered my correct size 7 and they fit just perfect. I wore them out and already received compliments on them. MBT lovers know this doesn't always happen so it's good the styles are improving! Thanks ZAPPOS for being the BEST!!!!!!
