I love these shoes. Everyone looked at me a little funny when I put them on, but not anymore.

I did purchase 1/2 size larger than I normally wear. I have a very wide foot. Wide enough that I don't like the fit of Dansko shoes or Alegria shoes (they feel too tight). But these shoes fit perfectly!

It took me about 2 days to get used to the feel of the walk. At first, I felt a little wobbly in them. I had to think about how to walk in these shoes. But after a couple of days, I felt completely comfortable.

I work in a hospital and walk quite a bit in these shoes. They feel so good that I hate taking them off at the end of the day, especially when I put 'regular' shoes on after wearing my MBT's all day. It feels like I'm walking completely wrong after taking them off. My legs and ankles actually feel rejuvenated!

I am a runner and my achilles and my calves are usually tight in the morning. These shoes stretch them out and I no longer have any ankle swelling or tendinitis. LOVE that about these shoes. These shoes also make me stand more erect and make me balance myself when standing still.

I was concerned about the velcro strap and the durability of these shoes in a hospital setting. The strap is extremely secure. If I spill anything on these shoes, I just wipe it off with a wet cloth (no cleaner) as soon as possible and they look as good as new.

PROS:
Stretches backs of my legs
Makes me stand erect
Makes me use my 'balancing' muscles
Fits perfectly (even with a wide foot)
Durable
Secure fit
Improves my gait
Legs feel great even after being on them 8-10 hours

CONS:
Expensive (but worth it in my opinion)
A little on the heavy side
