Customer Review: Worth every penny!!!!
Bought these after foot surgery and broken metatarsal in foot. They are a little strange to get used to, However soooooooo worth it!!! My hips used to hurt so badly, these shoes force you to stand straight and keep your hips and body aligned properly. What an amazing feeling....I can stand for hours and not feel fatigued. Definately watch the training video that comes with the shoes for great tips on how to use. This is the most expensive shoes I have ever bought. If they come out with some cute clogs, I'll gladly spend it again. Note: The podorthist said she has been wearing hers for over two years and they still looked great and continued to do the job!!
Customer Review: Good Walking Shoes
I am always searching for a pair of good walking shoes. Since I have flat feet, it is important that I wear proper shoes that will help me walk longer distances. I first saw these funny and interesting looking shoes on the feet of a shop floor assistant. I asked her about the shoes and she explained how she spends long hours standing and walking, and had reached a point when she was ready to quit her job. Then she discovered MBT, and she said that they helped her a great deal. I was a little skeptical when I heard her story, and decided to look it up on the Internet, and went to a couple of shoe stores to check out. Everybody gave very good references. I decided to give these shoes a shot and got a pair. The minute I wore these shoes, I felt the difference. I had ample padding and cushioning for my feet. I decided to buy the shoes, and on the very first day I walked about 3 miles...an unheard of thing for me since my feet start to hurt after a mile. It is has been a week since I got these shoes. I feel a bit sore, but it looks like this is an expected by-product. The bottom-line is that I am able to walk longer distances. I need to go back to the shoe store to have them check my gait, and improve it. This way I will be able to get the full benefit of these shoes. They are a bit expensive, but worth it since they improve your quality of life.

The earliest bracelets date back to around 2500 BC and were those worn by the Sumerians in southern Mesopotamia. Bracelets, necklaces, anklets, finger rings and ear rings made the women of Sumer into show windows of their husband's prosperity. Bracelets were found in the tombs of Ur where it was customary to bury royalty with their jewellery and unfortunately their poor servants.

By about 2000 BC, in Ancient Egypt, bracelets emerged as major pieces of jewellery.
Bracelets were found in the ruins from the Vesuvias eruption in Pompeii in 79 AD.
It was during the age of the Egyptian Pharaohs that charm bracelets were first seen
although charms themselves dated back as far as the Neolithic era when men would
gather unusual bits of wood or pieces of stone which would be carried about their
person in order to ward off their enemies. So these charms were considered lucky
charms and powerful protectors against evil.
It wasnt until the time of the Pharaohs though that these charms were incorporated
into elaborate pieces of jewellery such as wrist and neck bracelets which were not
only deemed to offer protection but were also a sign of how prosperous the person
had been in life and after death would be an indicator to the Gods of this persons
proper status in the after life.

In Grecian times bracelets were popular with men and soldiers wore defensive bands
of leather, often decorated with gold, silver and or gemstones, on their forearms.
They were known as Bracels, from the Latin Brachium, meaning, arm. When
women caught on that these Bracels would look great on them, they started wearing
smaller versions, called little Bracels...or Bracel-ets.

The history of bracelets stretches forward through the Middle Ages of medieval
Europe through the Baroque period of the 18th century, and on right through to the
present.

Throughout time, bracelets have been made from many different materials such as
leather, iron, copper, beads, bone and teeth as well as precious metals and
gemstone.
Throughout the ages bracelets have always been popular and the styles seem to
have varied according to dress styles. In cultures where people wore sleeveless or
short sleeved attire such as the Romans and ancient Greeks, the wearing of
bracelets both on the upper and lower arm became popular with both men and
women. The wearing of upper arm bracelets is still popular today with modern
fashionable skimpy clothing lending itself well to the wearing of more jewellery.

Today, bracelets are worn by both men and women in a variety of materials such as
traditional precious metals like gold silver and platinum. Modern plastics and
acrylics are now much used to make trendy, unusual bracelets as well as metals like
titanium and zirconium which have become popular because they are hard wearing,
very light and hypoallergenic.
Whatever your tastes and whatever your budget, there is an enormous choice of
bracelets and bangles to suit everyone.
