I wear this shoe mainly at the rec center on treadmills and walking around the gym. It keeps my feet cool, does not bind anywhere, does not cause blisters, and is great for strengthening those calf muscles. I have severe plantar fasciitis that had reduced me to near immobility before I started wearing MBT shoes. I would probably be confined to a scooter or some other mobility aid if it were not for these shoes. However, these shoes are not for people who have problems with balance. They are okay if you have mild neuropathy, but if you have lost all feeling in your feet I would not recommend them.
