Blistering problems

I was wondering if anyone has had any blistering problems from their MBTs. Everytime I wear them, the back of my heel rubs against the shoe creating a terrible blister. I love the shoes but cannot wear them if this continues to happen. I've put cushion pads in the backs of them and it doesn't seem to help at all. My mom has the same pair and she does not have this problem. I wonder if it is my foot thats the problem. The shoe size isn't the issue because they are a size smaller than wheat I wear- which is what I was advised to buy. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Has anyone who purchased MBT shoes now have foot problems or back or knee problems which they did not have before? My Peroneous Longus Tendon is pulled which is causing knee problems. Never before was my peroneus longuts tendon nor my peroneus tetius tendon pulled. I started wearing the MBTs and within about 4 months started having problems. I am over weight and the primary reason I purchased these shoes was because of the advertising claims they said that would help to lose weight and strengthen my body. My MBT's now sit collecting dust. Anyone else having problems with the MBT?s If so, have you filed a lawsuit? |

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'm hearing more and more about RYN shoes now and I'm wondering if RYN shoes are actually better than MBT shoes. It seems that the quality of MBT footwear has been getting worse in recent years. Are there people out there that have stopped buying MBT's and started buying RYN's instead? |

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 http://www.TrendyShoeShop.com |

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'm considering buying either the MBT's or the Skecher Shapers to tone up and get in better shape but I see all kinds of mixed reviews. MBT's are more expensive than the Shapers so I'm left wondering if the MBT's are better. Has anyone purchased either pairs of these shoes for fitness purposes and seen any signifigant results? |

Hi All I was wondering if anyone with ankle fusion had used MBTs to get back into any form of running? I have one fused ankle and just bought a pair. I will try some light running on a treadmill to see how it goes. I'm also interested in anyone's skiing experiences after an ankle fusion - particularly with getting ski boots modified etc. Thanks Eric |

I just bought 2 pair of MBT shoes for me and my husband in a Footwear etc store. I found that one pair from China and one pair from Vietnam. I went back to the store and fond there are not any MBT shoes shown on the store are from Korea. According to an interview of Fox Business New , Klaus Heidegger explained that the reason the price of shoes is so high is because they are made in Korea. However, I went to one of the biggest and official distribution, only got shoes from China and Vietnam. It made me wonder weather I got the fake MBT or I got a poor quality ones and I overpaid them? I did not choose buy MBT from the amazon in a cheaper prices because I have the quality concern, therefore I went to the store which I think I can trust. But now it really confused me. Can someone assure me that the shoes I bought are fine? the news clip is below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg6tmaJV39s |

Correct size for MBT boots and shoes?

I'm hoping someone can assist. I currently have the Kisumu sandals, size 39 (US 9), which fit well. I now want to purchase online (no stockist in my vicinity) a pair of walking boots and trainers. However, I find the sizing system confusing. On the basis of the MBT women's foot sizing chart that I downloaded it appears I should go with a size 41 (US9.5-10). Maybe even size 41 2/3, if I want to leave plenty of room for socks. Does anyone here who normally takes a size 39 sandal also have the shambla walking boots or black sports unisex trainers? What size did you buy? Do they fit well? Any tips greatly appreciated. (-: Batin |

How MBT Shoes Work?

Through its unique design of its multilayered sole, mBT transforms flat, hard, artificial surfaces into natural uneven surfaces, simulating the walking action of our barefoot ancestors. Unlike most conventional training shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction of mBT challenges the sole, and the muscles used to form your posture, to be more active. This reactive, more supportive muscle action increases shock absorption for joints and discs. Walking more upright not only looks better but automatically makes us healthier and stronger. The back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient. mBT lengthens and strengthens the whole body while standing, walking or in gentle running. |

I'm brand new to MBT shoes. In fact, I was all set to buy another brand (Skechers Shape ups) when I read on a message board that MBT is much better. So I immediately googled MBT and found shoes that were actually cheaper than the Skechers. Naturally, I ordered them. I just realized when I received shipping notification a little while ago that they are coming from China! Am I getting "fakes", or a knock off shoe that is going to be terrible quality? Thanks so much for your reply. |

I have had my MBT shoes for about 4 months. I developed a hammer toe, right foot second toe. At first it felt like I was walking on a marble at the base of that toe. Soon after my toe started arching(the toe will not lay flat). Has anyone else experienced this? |
