I bought all of this shoe that I could find when I heard that MBT had gone bankrupt.  The shoes disappeared from stores practically overnight and there will be no more made once all of the current stock is gone.  I first wore these when I broke my foot in 2009 and was in a wheelchair.  They got me up and moving again.  I've worn them every single day since and will continue to do so for as long as they last. These shoes get my very highest recommendation to anyone with foot pain or problems or who is on their feet a lot.
