Is anyone aware of a class action lawsuit against MBT? I know many people have been injured while wearing them.

MBT shoes and socks

I have found that my socks keep riding down in my MBT shoes and not sure why as I have never had that problem before with any shoes whether they be regular or sports. I have enquired at the shop where I purchased them from but was told that they have never heard of that sort of problem before. Has anybody had a problem like that. It is very annoying.

Anyone had any problems?

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

MBT SANDALS

I have been wearing my MBT SANDALS for 3yrs, I have loved them for work and day time wear. Over the last 7 months I have been experiencing pain in my left knee and right knee, I have psoriactic Arthritic, I am taking Humira and I thought that was causing a problem, but after a Doctor check up, he said no the arthritis was doing very well. It was my knee wearing and I have had an xray taken, he told me to stop wearing my MBT, he asked how long and how often I wear them and I let him know the answer is regularly because I have enjoyed them so much. He said they could be causing my problem. I am very sad and disappointed.

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

Problem with disintegration MBT soles
Posted by Dollar Bill

I have worn MBT shoes for a long time and really love them. However, I
am finding that the material betwen the sole and the shoe begins to
disintegrate about two years after I buy them. Out of warranty by that
time. The rest of the shoe is fine.

I had this happen with a second pair just recently. Thought there
might be a defect in the first pair, but now am wondering if there is
a design flaw?

As the material disintegrates, the shoe tends to collapse to one side
and makes walking uncomfortable. I threw away the first pair, but at
close to $300 I don't want to throw away another pair.

I filled the cavity in the first pair with Shoe Goo, but it did not
work out. The balance was off. Anyone else have this problem. I could

I also ordered some MBT trainers from a American website which have fallen apart. I Had no idea these sites existed its unfair and they should be stopped. I had previously owned a pair that were exellent and lasted for six years, i feel very cheated and extremly let down.

common sense and MBTs

Come on folks do you ever read the instructions - like most new 'toys'
you must follow the guidelines to get the best out of anything - MBTs
should be fitted properly in person not bought on line, guidance given
by the trained seller in how best to break them and yourself in (a
couple of hours use daily for the first few weeks and then not all the
time afterwards) I have been wearing them since they first arrived and
they do the job - buy on line, ignore the training and the fitting then
you are asking for trouble and resorting to lawsuits may gain you money
but not common sense

Ankle Fusion and running/skiing

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

MBT Shoes - Masai Barefoot Technology

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 pounds 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.

Where are the best manufactured MBT Shoes?
Posted by CleanUrFeet

Korea, China, Vietnam? I realize that the quality is subpar nowadays
and it seems like a majority of the MBT line is currently manufactured
in China. It looks like some of the all leather business shoes are
made in Vietnam. I tried on the all leather Vietnamese ones and they
fit and felt much better than the Chinese made Sport model. I ended up
going on ebay and buying a like new pair of Sports 04 that were
manufactured in Korea. They fit and feel like the Vietnamese made
leather shoes. So is the current poor quality to be blamed on Chinese
manufacturing?

Unfortunately this seems to be a current trend in anything imported
from China into the USA.

MBTs poor quality/service
Posted by A Roberts
Last Reply March 10, 2012 at 23:15
Started January 27, 2012 at 15:23
I've had a pair of MBTs for a few months now. They are beginning to rot and collapse already near the soles.

I contacted MBT who were very unhelpful - apparantly they can't be worn in mud as they will rot. But they don't go to the trouble of letting their customers know. And they only give 6mths cover.

At £170 a go I expected better quality - and cetainly better customer service.

Don't buy.
