I wonder, has anybody experienced any problems with their MBTs? I bought a pair 2 1/2 years ago and started using them on a daily basis. In fact I was so enthusiastic I started briskly walking part of the way to work every day (appx 2 miles). However, it wasn't long before I started experiencing pain in between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones while in the 'toeing off position' (ie. just as my toes leave the floor in a normal stepping movement). I decided to 'walk through' the pain as I was determined to make the most of my new shoes, but the pain was really bad and I realise now I should've seen a doctor sooner. It was a sharp pain, but also at times was like an electrical pain, like the feeling you get when you bang your funny bone, plus numbness around the area. I saw my GP and then a foot specialist, and it was thought to be a morton's neuroma, but I had it operated on and it appears to have been a build of scar tissue around the tendons/ligaments caused either by a direct in... read more

I saw a member of my surgeons team yesterday after having my latest x-ray on my recently fused ankle. He mentioned that having a rocker fitted to my shoes might help allow my walking to be more smoother. He also told me about MBT Shoes (Masai Barefoot Technology) that may do the trick too, having the rocker idea built into fashionable shoes. They are usually used for muscle toning. They are not cheap at about £129 but if they make a difference then it could be money well spent. Found a shop yesterday but they were moving location!
Hope to try some out soon and will report back here now I get on.

I just got a pair of MBT shoes -- the Boost -- that I bought online at www.FeetFirstFitness.com
This is my 2nd pair -- I paid $260 for the Wave for my first pair.
That's an excellent price $145 off the price they are selling at at Nordstrom...
And on to top of that they have excellent service and cosultation!!!
Such a great sale price for MBT shoes that I just had to share it...

Hi,
I was just curious if anyone here has plantar fasciitis
and if MBT shoes helped them with the condition. I have tried the inserts with gel and walkfit inserts from TV and
still am plagued with the pain. Do you have a particular
MBT shoes model that you'd recommend for this?
Thanks
Terry

my walking has improved a lot lately and I no longer use any kind of walking sticks, yippee! to help demonstrate the difference these shoes make to my ability to walk smoothly, a movie making buddy of mine has helped put this short video together showing the difference in my walking in conventional shoes and then with my MBT sandals. Feel free to watch it.

I have been an avid MBT fan for a long time. WalkersWarehouse.com has a ton of models for $159 right now. They also just posted new styles that are pretty fashionable.

The best thing about the MBTs is that I have been taught to walk properly. I went to a class after I purchased a pair of shoes. Very valuable. The good thing about the MBT's is that to maximise comfort in them, you have to walk correctly. In contrast to wearing conventional shoes were I become lazy during my walk.

I now have a pair of the MBT Kisumu Black sandals which I find more comfortable than the MBT trainers that I originally bought. The rolling motion works brilliantly with helping to compensate for my fused ankle.
