Customer Review: MBT Sand Casual customer review
I have had a lot of foot, knee, leg, and some back pain when I heard of this new innovative shoes technology. So I figure I could order a pair to see if this type of shoes would really work in alleviating all my body aches. When I received the shoes, I was very excited to try them on. The color was more of a beige then a pink as shown in the picture. I put on the left shoe first. It was a little tight but I figure it would eventually stretch. Then as I tried on my right shoe, I felt as if the shoe was twisting a little bit. I figure it was because they were new and that if I wear it a little bit longer, the awkward fitting of the right shoe would go away. I tried it on a little bit on the first day. On the next day, I kept on wanting to wear them. When I took them off, it felt like something was missing from my feet. My foot pain did go away as well as all of my knee and back pain. The problem though, is that recently, after about a month of having the shoes, I felt as if my ankle was being twisted as I walk with them on. It could have been that I was walking too fast on uneven surfaces, but it caused a lot of ankle discomfort for me. This is why I gave this particular pair of shoes 3 stars. However, other people I knew who ordered these MBT shoes of a different style had no complaints at all. It could have been that this particular style was slightly defected. Still confident that these MBT shoes will become the solution of my foot, ankle, knee, etc... problems, I will attempt to order another pair but not of the same style. At least not of the same style until I read more positive reviews on them.
Customer Review: Great for back pain sufferers
These shoes mimic what it would be like for you to walk on the soft, uneven surfaces of the earth without shoes-something the Masai tribe does and reportedly suffers few back or joint problems as a result. Sounded good to me; I did a search engine look-see and was convinced enough to buy a pair of these shoes. I have the white. They feel a little strange and look a little strange due to the thick sole and rocker design, but once you've walked in them and gotten used to it, the cushioning is outstanding-like walking on clouds-and the shoes force a proper posture which you may have lost if your back is hurting you. Plus, when you walk in them properly (instructional DVD comes with the shoes) the shoes give you a workout, toning muscles neglected by walking on flat surfaces, according to the manufacturer. I can feel the workout a bit, but I'm not at all sore. The video says you're supposed to increase your wear as you get used to them, but I'm not finding a need for that. I want more benefit from them, actually, and therefore intend to try using these on a treadmill. There are workouts available as well. I do wish the soles were two-tone all the way across with darker on the bottom so the soles wouldn't look so thick. (I have this upper design but the soles on mine are two-tone gray and white.) That's the one thing that bothers me is how therapeutic these things look. They try to make them look cool in the video-no can do. You just have a model wearing therapeutic-looking shoes. So I'm thinking I'll wear these mostly around the house. But I do wear them every day. I am noticing the advertised results but believe these results are limited by the fact that I'm uncomfortable wearing these away from home. BTW, If you have a medical issue, the manufacturer strongly recommends using the shoes with supervision from a physician who understands these shoes and how they effect your body. In a nutshell: great design, but a need for tremendous improvement in the aesthetics department.
