Bearing in mind the poor durability and after sales service plus very high price of MBT's has anyone had a better experience with any alternative shoes? |

I have been suffering with foot pain (metatarsal and foot fatigue) for quite a while. My podiatrist has recommended MBT shoes. Does anyone know if these shoes will help my aching feet or are they just meant to help with back and leg problems? |

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. |

I wear a US 10.5 EEEE width. I tried a MBT shoes before and they were tight. Today I bought one and it fits perfectly. The sales lady explained this MBT Sports 2 has this wider toe box. My question: is there any other style, like Tembea, that has a wider toe box? I would like to have another pair that is more business casual. Thanks |

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 am being told from experts the shoes for Rhuematoid Arthriti is MBT shoes. I'am a fashion-niesta and since I recently have been having problems with my feet (espicailly my toes) and I can't no longer wear just any shoe I was wondering is there anything for a girl like me someon can suggest? I hate the look of these shoes. Are there any shoes out there that are fashionable for someone like me? Or please suggest a decent pair of shoes where I don't feel and look my grandmother. |

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?

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. |

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 |

___80 for new soles___,.... think of it twice

Hi All, Got 2 pairs of MBTs. After 8-9 months of average use, I had to replace the soles of first pair: 80 euros (EIGHTY EUROS)!!! What a joke/shock! If you are lurking around these shoes: + 240 euros shoe (which I was happy to pay) + 80 euros in less than a year _______ = 320 euros in less than a year. I really feel abused, and I am glad to see that other brands are picking up the concept. You can be good and expensive, but you just can't hope for a future by abusing your customers. If MBT does not stop that little game, they will end up chewing their own soles for breakfast. This is the word of a businessman. Think of it twice |

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 |

Dont want to buy a pair only to find they induce my symptoms. Thanks Sioux |
