I am a fan of MBT shoes. I own 3 pair. This particular pair looked very sharp but just did not fit right. The way in which the heel counter was stitched in caused rubbing on my heel. The toe box was too close to comfort and the size did not accommodate my high instep.

These fit true to size. I ordered these for my husband who has not walked much in years due to a chronic back condition. He feels like he has a new lease on life and is like the energizer bunny. Also these look like normal shoes, not as clunky as the other styles.

I bought these for my husband. He has had severe arthritis in his hips and back since he was a teenager. I didn’t tell him how much these cost until he tried them on and used them for an hour or two. He absolutely loves them. For a man to rave about a pair of shoes is truly a unique thing, but he’s worn them everyday for a week and practically bounces home from his 12 hour workdays. Every day he says something great about these shoes. I ordered him the size he usually wears and they fit well. I’m a nurse, so I’ll be ordering a pair for myself soon. Well worth the money. This particular style is not as odd looking as some of the others. Look good with jeans or chinos.

Best shoes I ever bought -
I was apprehensive about spending this much for a pair of shoes. I almost didn't do it. I have a part-time job walking dogs. I cover about 7 miles each day that I work and my feet have been hurting quite a bit lately. I spent a lot of time barefoot when I was a kid, and my feet never hurt. So, the technology made sense to me. Well I bought the MBT Tembea and I love them. They are the first pair of shoes that I have ever bought that I do not take off as soon as I am done working. At previous jobs, I was known for taking off my shoes in the parking lot before I would even drive home. But, no more. I actually wear these shoes in the house and will put them on just to walk to the mailbox. MBT, you have a customer for life.

Zappos. Great service. Great price. MBT Tembea. This style of shoe absolutely helps my lower back and accompanying leg pain, a nerve issue. They take a few weeks to get used to. This particular model is very rugged. I am not too happy with the way the shoe meets my ankle, too harsh, and the toe box is a bit too large for me. I might need a 9.25 since the 9 is too short and the 9.5 just a bit too big. This model runs true to size or just a tad big. I only wear MBTs. Just doing an hour walk in them is therapeutic.

I walk several miles a day and purchased these shoes on the hype they gave something special and were woth the their high price. The shoes are well made and comfortable yet don\'t really give any better experience than other walking shoes which are less expensive. In short not sure these shoes are really worth the extra money.

The shoe's quality is not to be questioned. I just don't think it is the shoe it claims to be. I have a pair of boots that are far more comfortable and don't make my feet hurt like these do. They do, however, give you exercise since you are constantly balancing yourself. I would start with the less expensive pair and see if you like those...
