This shoe takes some getting used to, but it does seem to do what the advertisements say.  It is a very well made shoe and fits perfectly. My job requires me to stand for up to 12 hours per shift, and I worried about wearing something this different.  I decided to work up to it, but only took back up shoes the first day.  I am still a little unsteady if I move too quickly, but overall they are super comfortable and don't overtax my legs.  I do have a hard time wearing regular shoes after a few days in the MBT's though.
