I have been wearing MBT's for almost 3 years now and they have saved me from surgery on my feet/ankles.  They instantly relieve the pressure on my ankles and upper middle foot and I love how I flow in them.  I had recurring tendinitis in my ankles until a friend suggested MBT's and I have not had a problem since.  At 300 pounds it is difficult to find a shoe that I can exercise and function in consistently and still be able to walk later and these were the answer to my prayers.  I prefer the tennis shoes to the loafer type shoes, and this pair is a great fit.  I have very wide feet so I order the men's shoe and the width is perfect, not too wide but wide enough.  The price on these($88 when I bought them) was also phenomenal!  I snatched them up as soon as I saw the price.  I have paid up to $149 for the same type of MBT shoe in the past.  Even at my weight they last a long time unlike other brands which break down in 2-3 months these last me more than a year, at least.
