I wore mine for a month and didn’t tone up so now I just wear them occasionally.

That’s interesting… expensive though. I wish I could afford it and try it sometime.

I have a pair and would be happy to sell them for $200 o.b.o. I run, so the benefit I might see from these is masked by my running. They are sixe 8, green and black. They are pretty cute, but after being chastised by my fiancee for buying yet another pair of athletic shoes, I would love to send them to a good home.

Nothing is worth wearing a shoe that ugly. I say, traditional workout and attractive shoes!!

I BOUGHT A PAIR, WORE THEM FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, I’M ON MY FEET ALOT AT WORK. LIKE THE WAY THEY MADE MY BACK AND LEGS FEEL.
UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE UNSTABLE SOLE, I STOOD UP FROM A FORWARD FOLD POSITION QUICKLY AND THE SOFT HEEL OFFERED ME NO WAY TO STOP MYSELF FROM FALLING BACKWARD. I FELL INTO A PIECE OF MACHINERY AND BROKE 2 BONES IN MY RIGHT ARM. I AM NOW OUT OF WORK FOR 2 MONTHS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THESE SHOES OR OWN A PAIR, BE VERY CAREFUL.

While snow skiing, I incurred a tibia-fibula fracture at the plateau of my knee. After a year on crutches and therapy 3X @ wk, I still had to have a knee replacement. After surgery and another year of physical therapy, I could walk without support but my foot turned out as if I was in ballet 1st position regardless of all the strengthening exercises. My physical therapist recommended I give MBTs a try–I felt that I had nothing to lose and everything to gain–I would, at the very least gain a good sport shoe. I went to Foot Solutions for proper fit and bought a sport pair. That was two years ago. I wear nothing else–I own five different styles/pairs. Not only did my foot return to its proper walking position after three weeks, but I have lost 22 lbs of the 57 lbs that I gained while I was non-ambulatory–simply by walking. I am an educator–not too much walking there. I have lost two dress sizes–but most importantly, I can walk normally rather than like a hunchback. Mary 3/7/2007 has a good point though–you must be careful walking on uneven surfaces. The important thing to remember is to be mindful of one’s walking, heel first, rolling the foot to the toe. .

I bought a pair based on nurses my wife works with. After trying to use them for 2 weeks, they have caused my right foot to over-pronate and are killing my right knee. If they work for you (and they do for a lot of people) great. For me, they are a pair of $200+ paper weights. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

Don’t know if anyone is still wanting an answer…
but YES YES YES buy MBTs. I have had mine since August of 2005 (3 and a half year) and I absolutely LOVE them. I suffered from chronic migraines, tension headaches, and lower back pain from having a baby When I worked in the service industry I was required to wear black shoes, so I couldn’t wear my gray MBTs. After a month my back hurt and I had such bad headaches, I told my manager it was either I wear my gray MBTs or he has to deal with me calling in sick more frequently. So, he agreed. BEST money I’ve ever spent.
