People who know me would call me "frugal" or even "cheap."  I'm careful with money and do not buy things frivolously.  However, I do walk a lot and my feet have to be comfortable.  MBTs are the shoes I've found that allow me to walk where, when, and for as long as I want.

These Kiburi even look stylish.  After I've given them a good test, I'll come back in and edit with more information.  I was sorry to hear that MBT was out of business, thank heavens Amazon still had access to some inventory.
