I've had the MBT shoes for several weeks. I was interested in something that would reduce my tendency for plantar faciitis and reduce fatigue at the office. So far I'm pleased with the shoes. They are easy to slip into and comfortable to wear. They definitely take some getting used to. They tend to propel me forward and change my gait. I like to run and these are definitely not running shoes. I think my feet are less tired by the end of the day. Another side effect is that they are a conversation piece. I've had a number of patients and friends ask about them. I like to try things that are different and these qualify. It's too soon to say if this is going to be my long term primary shoe type but so far I've been happy with them.
