If you look around the internet you can always buy MBT on sale at a much better price. I have three pair and bought them all from different internet sites. All for just less than 1/2 of what I would have paid if I had bought them at a regular shoe store. Hope this helps - just use "google" to find. 451

There are some at www.foot-well.com Though I am a lover of MBT I have found the SpringBoost shoes much better (for both my back problem and toning legs). SpringBoost cost much less than MBT £79.95 are I bought them at www.foot-well.com too. 539

Cheap replica MBT? MBT Knock Off? What really happened is that in 2007 MBT was taken over by new owners who are just in it for a quick buck: 1. They moved MBT production from its state-of-the-art facility in Korea to a sub par but much less expensive facility in China. 2. They eliminated research and development. They reduced the quality control and production costs, but increased the price to the end user. 3. Many of these "new MBTs", unlike the Korean original that lasted for years, wear down usually after only a couple or a few months as experienced by many on this forum. 4. For this problem a program was created called "MBT resoling and repair" that requires even more costs for the end user. 5. What really happened was that the new owners actually quite simply made a cheap replica of the original MBT themselves. 6. Albeit, the new owners have spent at least some of their new dollars on advertising in order to draw the end user into this cycle. 764

Not too good to be true, the reputable UK sites have the real deal. I have pairs from both MBT retail shops and posted from the UK. Like any seller, they will have end of line and odd sizes they are willing to sell cheap. Some MBT retail shops had $90 ones when the new styles were released and they didn't want leftover last season's stock in only one or two sizes per style. I bought three pairs. I've also bought four pairs from the UK so far and they are just fine. 1184

The function of mBT is similar to that of balancing a ball under the foot. Increased input-response makes it easier for the musculature to react adequately. After ground contact there is a rolling movement, starting from a negative heel position (1). This creates a pre-stretch of the calf muscles. The straightening of the body, the balancing on the mid-foot (2) and the pull-through of the step to the back (3) initiates a rotation, which follows through the whole body. This results in an active and natural posture and gait. 1258

found out about these shoes seeing them advertised in a shop here in canberra australia that sells to people with feet,leg,hip etc problems. Out of curiosity enquired about the price $369.00 (yep you read right) I then started researching price and history of the shoes but until just this minute couldn't find anything current (as in this year or late last yr) about possible scams (by the company or others) and whether the shoes were worth it. Thanks to everyone who posted but still the same faq as everyone. Where do I get a real and good pair at a reasonable price??? 1281

Same issues here. Have MBT made in Vietnam. Comfortable and good quality. Needed resoling after 6 months. I just purchased skechers while I am having the MBTs resoled. Skechers are more comfortable. For the price difference, I will stay with Skechers. 1289

Please be careful where you purchase your MBT shoes from, especially on the internet. I purchased 3 pair recently from the"MBTfirst-class" website. The website looked very "official" with the MBT logo, the prices were great (under $100) & because payment was through Paypal I thought the company couldn't be bad. I was suspicious when I saw my Paypal payment went to a Zhu Sufeng--kind of fishy, huh? I went to the official MBT website www.shopmbt.com & read under the heading of "Brand Protection" that there have been problems with fake, inferior quality MBTs being sold online from China. I emailed the US company @ info@us.mbt.com & received a reply within 24 hrs. The company offered to replace my fake MBTs w/ authentic ones, taking a loss in the process, if I was willing to ship the fake pairs of shoes to them. I knew as soon as I tried on the shoes that the fit & construction were poor. I still have my old MBTs I bought 5 or more yrs ago & I could really tell the difference. In addition, there was no invoice or instruction card (which always comes w/the shoes) to be found. If you go to the official US website (www.shopmbt.com) you will find a list of the approved online websites which are selling the "real deal." Like my mother always said, "If it sounds too good to be true, it is." Next time I will know better & do more research before making an online purchase. Customers, BEWARE! 1295

I just wanted to say to anyone considering buying fake MBTs that while they may look like MBTs they will not work you out or protect your back. If they are not MBTs they are not medically indorsed, that goes for those pathetic scetchers too! 1324
