I have been wearing MBT shoes for over 2 years and, have now been wearing Ryn shoes for about 8 months. I wear both brands regularly, and I sell both brands at my store in Austin. From my experience, both brands perform very well on flat, level, predictable surfaces including concrete, tile and treadmills. But we don't always walk on these surfaces. Sometimes we are on grass, hills and uneven terrain. From personal experience, I have discovered that I am more careful about how I walk when I wear MBT shoes on grass, hills and uneven surfaces. I tend to be much more aware of my footing and look for "stable" surfaces for my foot to land. I am much more comfortable wearing my MBT shoes in the house, on sidewalks and when I am running errands. I have tested my Ryn shoes on grass, hills, rocks and other terrain and discovered that I have much better control walking on these surfaces. The shoes tend to "bite" into slopes without giving way. This is due, I believe, to the "stable... read more |

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? |

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? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg6tmaJV39s |

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 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? |

I had a pair of MBT's for three years before they starting showing any wear. I bought a new paid in December, 2008, and didn't wear them walking until about February or March 2009. They are already wearing out, cracking in the soles, the EVA I believe it's called. I really like the shoes because I have a bad ankle, but I cannot recommend this shoe to anyone now that they have changed their product. I bought mine at Foot Solutions in KC, MO, and they have quit carrying the MBT's for this very problem. I wrote the corporate headquarters and I'm waiting to hear from them. |

Anyone else getting an irritation on the shin when wearing MBT shoes, especially with stiffer leather? I am only getting this on my right foot. I have tried folding back the tongue and holding it overnight with a strong clip used for glueing heavy objects. Works somewhat. Also tying the shoe string under the tongue at the last hole. Just bought the boot and these seem to avoid the problem. |
