The moment I put my first pair of MBT shoes on back in 2007, the moment I fall in love with it. MBT shoes looks funky, yet so comfortable and fun to wear. I wear them daily, I wear them on my 3 weeks trip to China... they are so comfortable!  This is my 4th pair MBT only because I want different color, texture and style, so that I can wear them everyday. Those shoes are very well made and they last well.
There are some MBT-like shape-up shoes out there now selling at a much cheaper price, but still I prefer the original, and willing to pay a bit more money to get the right thing.

To ensure I get the right/real MBT shoes, I only buy from stores/online retailers listed the MBT official site. I am serious when come to my MBT shoes:-).
