Freaking Amazing!!
I have peripheral polyneuropathy, a degenerative disorder that causes numbness AND excruciating pain in my feet and lower legs. It is difficult to explain to someone who has not experienced it. Think of feeling like you have thick socks on preventing you from feeling things, while at the same time you have electric, zinging pains feeling as if you are being shocked or stuck with needles. After being on my feet for as little as 30 minutes, I normally have excruciating pain for 1-6 hours afterward, frequently requiring a narcotic, as well as a hefty dose of Lyrica several times a day. I have been searching for the last 2 or 3 years for the perfect pair of shoes, and I think I may have found them at last!
I am a nurse practitioner, and I work anywhere from 8 to 24 hours at a time, with a lot of walking and standing in our busy, 56 bed neonatal unit. Halfway through the night, I'm having to take off my shoes and socks because the mere touch of them against my feet is more than I can bear. And then, several hours more after I get home before I can get comfortable and go to sleep. I have tried Z-coil, Crocs, Born...I just haven't found one I like.
Then, a friend got a pair of these MBTs (in another style), and let me try them on the other day. IT WAS AMAZING. They totally change the impact of the shoe against the foot, with more of it coming at the arch, and less on my tender toes and heels. So, less toe and heel pain, and greater arch support. Genius!!!
Just incidentally, my husband washed my Crocs in really hot water, and they shrank. He forgot to tell me this before I left for my 16 hour shift last week. Just the slight increase in pressure on my feet made that shift horrible for me. And the next morning, I discovered these shoes. I went home, ordered a pair c overnight delivery so I would have them in time for yesterdays shift. My feet haven't felt this good after a night like that in so long I cannot remember. I have taken nothing extra for pain in over 12 hours!! Hallelujah!!
I would imagine these will benefit many conditions--diabetic neuropathy, plantar fascitis, polyneuropathy, among others. Considering the benefits, the cost is more than reasonable. Anything that enables me to care for my patients in comfort is BRILLIANT!!!
Incidentally, I chose this particular style for the "cute" factor--It looks good with my scrubs at work, and I can still wear it with slacks or a long skirt. Yowza!!

Great for posture
I bought this through a regular store after reading that the nylon ones fall apart. This shoe has held up and is great for helping me stand up straight. It is a stiff material, a bit hot after wearing for long periods of time and the material does not "breath".

These are the shoes for plantar fasciatis
For years I've become more and more sedentary because my heels hurt SO MUCH due to plantar fasciatis.

With these shoes (I have 2 pairs of MBTs) I can be on my feet for 10 hours straight and not feel a bit of strain. This is on the level of a miracle cure! It's amazing to me that these shoes were never prescribed or suggested to me by the foot surgeons/physical therapists i've been to.

I do find them hot, as did the last reviewer. But small matter compared to the new lease on life (or being on my feet, anyway!)

MBT Women's M. Walk Walking Shoe

From the Manufacturer
MBT shoes are physiological footwear--the first footwear that has a positive effect on the entire body. MBT stands for "Masai Barefoot Technology." Their innovative design includes a multi-layered, curved sole which makes for a unique and rewarding walking experience. The key to MBT is its patented sole structure. The shank, PU midsole with Pivot and the Masai Sensor create a soft surface that is akin to walking barefoot on springy moss or on a sandy beach. This creates a natural instability underfoot, which activates the supporting muscle system and has positive effects on the entire body. Wearing MBTs significantly improves your gait and posture and relieves pressure on your joints and back. It also exercises a large number of muscles, whether you’re walking or standing. This, in turn, stimulates your metabolism, burns extra calories and speeds up muscle regeneration. In addition, MBTs can have a firming effect on abdominal, leg and buttock muscles. Wearing MBT shoes can also be a therapeutic tool for back, hip, leg and foot problems. At MBT they don't believe in shoes. They believe in footwear that makes you better from the ground up.

Customer Reviews

All right shoes
So I'm not really sure if they really tone you but as far as posture goes I can tell that it does help. Super comfy! I can walk longer and not get tired. Buy them half size bigger as recommended. I love these shoes and plan on buying more MBTs in the future.

My legs were sore after the first day!
These shoes are great. I put them on the day I received them and have been using them on a daily basis since. I haven't been to the gym like I should since it's summer and we've been in "vacation" mode. However, I wear these every day and although my legs aren't like my old "runner's legs," they are toned. I don't feel the nasty jiggle I was feeling before.

I don't know if I've lost any inches, or cellulite like some claim to have lost, but, I do feel better when I wear them. They make me want to walk more.

There is a bit of a learning curve when you first wear them, but you will adapt quickly. I've learned that while I'm in the kitchen cooking, or anywhere I have to just stand around and wait, I can actually do little calf raises. So, you can even get a workout when standing in place.

My MBT Experience
The shoes are amazing and I can feel them working the glutes as well as the backs of my thighs and legs. As far as the vendor,they were incredible. I opted for the longer shipping time but received them the very next day at no cost! I would recommend the vendor, Shoe Parlor, and would use them again.

Customer Reviews

MBTs...
Purchase a half size larger. If you have a really wide foot, beware there is not a lot of give in the toe box. I have not done a lot of exercising in the shoes yet but so far am happy with fit and comfort. I purchaed for toning benefits, not medicinal purposes but have heard great thing from friends about the relief on knees, back, etc.

Good nursing shoes -- your calves will thank you.
I'm a nurse, I work 12 hour shifts on my feet almost the entire time. I used to wear Danskos and now I'm wearing these at work. I like these better. They're more comfortable forsure. I don't feel a whole lot of the "toning and firming" action at work because it's more "stepping around" than walking long straight distances. But when I walk down the street or hallway in them, I can definitely feel it -- mostly in my calves. I don't have a ton of time to work out after work, so I'm kind of killing two birds with one stone.
The only reason I gave the shoes a 4/5 is because they're pretty ugly. Look at them. If they didn't have the physiologic advantage, you wouldn't even look at them. There's probably not a way to make them look nicer, so I'll just like them for what they are.
And make sure you order about a half size bigger than you normally wear.
