The Anti-Shoe
I've been wearing these shoes when I walk my dogs each night about 20 minutes. The first time I put them on, I stood up perfectly straight. Every time I wear them, I feel I get a workout, because I use different muscles. They appear to be well manufactured, although I haven't had them long enough to know. I was told by a store clerk that they can be resoled and reconditioned for $50. I highly recommend these shoes.

Awesome shoes
The MBT shoes are awesome. The straighten your posture immediately and are very comfortable. They are also very well made. Don't wait for the knock-offs. These shoes are great.

Perfect shoe for winter walking

If you have a dog or just like to walk on/off road no matter what the weather, this is the shoe for you. My feet have stayed dry and warm no matter where I have walked or how long I've stayed outside. My only negatives would be that these soles are NOT great on icey surfaces or on rocky trails.
I really like these shoes for the winter months!

MBT shoes rock!

These shoes are AMAZING. I'm 57, 50# overweight and work at a hospital where I put in six 12 hour shifts, then have 8 days off. On hard floors I average 6-8 miles of walking a night. I have one flat foot and one with a good arch. My flat foot starts to ache about 1/2 way through the shift. So I and others in this profession have tried just about every new idea that comes down the pike. Z-coils worked well but eventually I settled in to Crocs because of their comfort & coolness- you can take them off easily and so when you sit you can slip out of them and let your feet cool off. But then several of us tried MBTs. I couldn't believe it- no pain in my feet whatsoever, even after long shifts. I found myself on my feet more and moving around. I guess some folk take a few tries at them before they get used to them but I found the day I bought them I could float around in them without any mishap. They do feel different- all your weight seems to be centered in the middle of your foot- kind of a rocker feeling which forces you to keep your balance. Not a shoe to run in but for standing & walking they seem to be the best shoe out there. Until something better comes along I'll be wearing these while I work and at home whenever I'm on my feet for a long time. I guess the only thing I don't like about them is the price- but what price are you willing to pay for comfort on the job? James in Ninilchik, Alaska
