Customer Reviews
Quite a workout!
I received my MBTs today and decided to take them out for a trial. I have been walking about three miles everyday and thought I was up to the challenge. I hadn't even made it past the first mile when I could feel the burn in my calves. I walked about two miles total and now I see why they suggest you should only wear them for a limited time until you get used to the change. If you are looking for a good workout for legs and rear, this is the shoe for you! This will help to shorten my workout time and still get the results that I want.
Back pain? GONE!
I've been wearing these shoes for 2 1/2 years. I bought them because I hoped it would help me with my daily back pain (I was taking antiinflamatories on a daily basis). Let me also tell you that I'm active. I'm used to aerobic exercise, and I'm fit. Running is my passion and I didn't want to give it up. It was like this, I would wake up pain free, would run on the treadmil and stretch, run some errands and there she was the back pain. Then she'll visit with me till the end of the day. Of course it kept getting worse, till the point I would get out of bed pain free and after walking around the house a little bit there she was the back pain waiting on me to keep me company for the rest of the day.
I was researching on the internet when I bumped into these shoes. Actually I was looking for some Birkenstocks when I found MBTs. I was so desperate to come up with a solution for my back pain that I made my husband drive me to Texas, about 70 miles far from where I live, to Frisco so that I could get them that very same day. I didn't want having to wait for the MTBs being shipped and stuff.
They advise you to get started little by little and there is a DVD and a pamphlet that cames along with instructions. Anyway, I put MBTs on and got out of the store, did grocery shopping and the relief was so big I wore the shoes for the rest of the day. Next day I put them on when I woke up (literally) and ever since I've wore it for 2 years straight. Sandals in the summer and sneakers in the winter. I like the sandals best. No more pain, no more pills. Although I am fit, my legs got a little bit tired during the first week or so because you start using muscles that might have never been requested before. In the past 6 months I haven't been wearing them as often, I just walk on them when I exercise on the treadmil (running on them is pretty tough, it's like running on very soft sand) and I also make sure I have them on when cleanning the house and traveling. These sandals are just perfect for traveling. I'm brazilian married to an american, so I visit my country often and a 10 hour flight can get your feet pretty swollen. Studies show that you still maintain your good posture for 2 or 3 days when not wearing the MBTs.
Bottom line, they took my back pain away for good. I was told they might loose their cushioning after a year but no. Good quality shoes, I'm still wearing the first pair of sandals and sneakers I bought. As far as muscular improvement I havent' noticed much since I was already fit when I started wearing them. I've seen websites that would advertise the fact that these shoes improve your celulite and things like that. MBT Company is very serious and doesn't mention anything like that. I know that some fancy spas do sell them. MBTs are bulky and heavier than normal shoes but nevertheless very comfortable.
When you find something that takes your pain away like I found relief in these pair of shoes, you stick with it.
Wish they'd go back to making these
This was the first mbt style I tried. They were already being discontinued when I bought them. Took me no time at all to get used to them. I've had 2 lower-back surgeries and wound up wearing these every day. I got them in the red and the light blue, as well as the kisumu sandals, which are equally comfortable and still holding up. Like walking on clouds. And they fit true to size. They're supposed to be unstable front to back, as rocking back & forth is where the "workout" comes in. Very stable side-to-side, so no knee problems. (Wish I could say that about the newer chapas. Killed my knees. And the pain went away after I stopped wearing the goretex chapas, for which I paid $270; so I know it was from that.) MBT should go back to making shoes of this quality. The few recent styles I've tried haven't been as good. And I know the company changed hands around 2007, which is probably why.
