Customer Reviews MBT M.Walk

I got the M.Walk in black. They are ugly shoes. Even though I run pretty much every day and have several pairs of Earth shoes, these shoes made me sore--first ankles and knees, then thighs, then lower back. I advise that you work up slowly with these. I am now used to them, and love them. I would wear them every day if they weren't so large. And unattractive. Though with longish pants they're really not noticeable. Oh yeah; I went up a full size. I feel like they're on the roomy side, but that's fine; I just tie them tighter. And I know I'll have room for bulkier socks when the weather cools down. I seriously love these shoes. If you can get them on sale, buy them immediately.

Ouch! I have a pair of MBT Mary Janes that I absolutely love, so I bought these in the same size and they were too small! I would suggest going up a half size.

While reviewing other shoes, several customers mentioned MBT's would be their first pick if not so expensive. In the same category of walking shoes I was trying to make a decision on I noticed the MBT M Walk, on sale. The next day I was walking my dogs in the very best shoes I have ever put on my feet. From the first mile my calves, hamstrings and glutes have been talking to me. My feet have not said a word. I now have logged in 62 miles and can finally recommend a product without reservation. Could be more stylish but my dad always said, pretty don't get it done. Zappos, your service exceeds expectations. Thank you.

I bought these shoes after buying a pair of Skechers Shape Ups, and the MBT shoes are definitely worth the higher price, although I love and wear the Skechers, too. Sizing is an issue with MBT. I normally wear 7 and ended up with 8.5 in the MBT, although 8 may have worked (I jumped from 7.5 to 8.5 because I was impatient). I want to wear these shoes every day. It's like walking on pillows. They make me stand up straight and they feel so good that a trip to the restroom at work ends up becoming a little jaunt around the parking lot just for the joy of walking. I get home from work wanting to walk some more, incredible! I wish they could make a style that's more feminine, but I guess that's not easy.

I live in LA, so I don't walk as much as I did in NYC! But I do have a dog, and had been walking in great Puma "fashion" sneakers, which was not great for my aging body. Having had back problems for years, and now getting arthritis, I tried these. I balked at the price, but had tried the Earth shoes and didn't like them, and refuse to buy Skechers. These are amazing! Like walking on the moon. I don't know about butt reduction, but my calves certainly felt a difference. Start slow - wear them for 30 minutes the first day and build up. You won't want to wear anything else! Oh - and I can wear my orthotics!

I bought this pair of shoes for my mother for her birthday. She’s had terrible problems with her feet. They arrived on time for her birthday, and she absolutely loves them. They eliminate all of the pressure from the balls of the feet.

These are my 3rd pair of MBT's and I like these shoes. By far the most comfortable were the Kisumu's (though hideous) followed by the Kaya's and in third position are these tennis shoes. They don't have the cushion that I am accustomed to, but sure do give my a good workout and help with posture and back pain. I ordered up a 1/2 size and am glad I did. I was surprised that they didn't make my feet look too clunky like other MBT styles.

I just LOVE these shoes. I initially bought these shoes because of my back. I can't believe I never knew about MBT shoes before! It's a little pricey but I highly recommend these shoes to everyone! I am sure I will buy more with different styles. I bought a half inch bigger than my size and it fits perfectly.

Runs a half size small. Zappos customers service was AWESOME!

Love my new shoes. I typically wear a 7.5 but needed the 8 in this style. Very comfortable and fun to walk in.

The M.Walk is my favorite for walking because it runs a little narrower for women’s feet and it fits like a glove. However, you do need to buy it 1/2 size larger to fit perfectly. These MBT shoes are supposed to fit like a glove and not have a ton of toe room like many are used to in regular shoes so you also need to get used to the more snug fit. These fit right in the 1/2 size larger. I have others that don’t fit right because MBT has a problem with making the women’s shoes more narrow. They got it right in this design which is why it is my favorite now for walking and shopping. However, this is NOT my favorite for working out on my Leg Magic and my Gazelle Sprintmaster Elite and my Proform Activator V5 or Wii Fit workouts because the M.Walk has more higher bounce and I do not need that high bounce on these machines so I love my MBT Tataga style shoe because it is VERY LOW bounce and so it works best for standing still on those machines so MBT Tataga is my workout shoes. The MBT Tataga is True to Size for a snug glove fit like it is suppose to be and so I got that in my TRUE size for workouts. Tataga is OK for walking, but no where near as great as the M.Walk for shopping and walking. Hope this helps someone! Enjoy! These MBT shoes made it possible for me to get off a walker and not have to use a scooter and now back pain and foot pain free for years as I have used them for 6 years! I can now walk for hours with no pain and do all those exercise machines wonderfully! I threw away all my orthotics because MBT solved all the problems! Worth every penny!

Wow! I bought these very expensive shoes with the hope of getting more exercise during my everyday activities. I do not have back problems like so many who also purchase these shoes, but simply wanted to use more muscle when walking about. I am very happy with them. I can feel a difference in my posture, muscle tone from my abdominals and back all the way down the front and back of my legs. I have not had soreness, but was an active person to start with. I am planning on buying the dark more 'work-like' shoes for the fall. YES, they are expensive and kind of clunky, but I would do it again.

Well worth the time (and money). It took time to find the right size, and more time to get used to the feel of the shoe--first time I wore them outside I had to take them off after less than half a mile because my ankles hurt. But the results were worth it. After 10 days I was wearing the shoes on 2-mile walks. (Consider carrying another pair of shoes with you the first few times you wear these outdoors.) I love the feel and love the workout.

I love them!! I love these shoes. They go with any outfit and are very comfortable. At first I thought they would be hard to walk in, but they aren't. They feel just like any other shoe. And after wearing them for only a few hours my legs and lower abs were sore. That shows you that they are definitely worth the $.

Another MBT Winner! I recently purchased the white with gray trim version. It's a great spring/summer shoe and lighter weight than the solid gray oxford I've worn for several months. Extremely comfortable from the start--no breaking in period at all. Certainly I would agree with the warning to "order up" a size! As usual, Zappos service cannot be beat. I appreciate them so much since I do not live near a metropolitan area where MBTs are easily accessible. (Or even heard of!!)

Walking Straight - This shoe is amazing. It makes you walk in the correct position. I have lower back pain and the pain is much better since I started wearing MBTs consistently.

Love all of my MBTs - This is the 5th pair of MBTs I've bought, and I love them all. I used to suffer from plantar fasciitis, and they have made a huge difference. I also have severe arthritis in my knees, and they help reduce the pain in my knees when I walk. I used to avoid going places where I'd have to walk much, but now I park at the far end of the parking lot and go to places just for the purpose of walking. As long as I have my MBTs I will be fine. They do take a little adjustment -- I recommend only wearing them an hour a day at first, then gradually building up to all day. Also, watch the video that comes with them to learn how to walk in them -- that is very important if you want to get the best results. If you are used to shoes with a lot of arch support, you will definitely need to adjust slowly to these. I had always worn orthotics, etc. for my foot problems, but once I got used to these I won't go back. It's hard to describe, but I guess by not having arch support your foot becomes stronger and eventually you won't need it. These definitely run small, too -- I ordered a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and my toe is still at the end (although they say that is the ideal fit for MBTs so that your foot doesn't slide around in them). I had to return the pair that I ordered in my normal size, but luckily Zappos is great about returns.

Got a workout without knowing it... They are GREAT to walk in and I could actually felt my muscles working when I was walking. I bought them to go on walks outside, but I wear them all day around the house. I go up and down stairs ALOT and these shoes made my daily running around a work out for me!

Learn how to walk! This sneaker will improve your posture, and give you the workout you really want.

MBT M WALKER - I am thrilled with my new MBT Walkers. I find they are so good at exercising my legs that I can't wear them all day yet, but am working up to that. Thanks for a great product.

MBT Walker - I purchased the MBT walker a couple of weeks ago. Overall I am please with the shoe; I did have to purchase a full size larger than I normally wear. I have not seen a change in my posture up to this point but I am hoping that will change!

NICE!! Ok, every other review on here... DITTO! Even though I ordered a half-size larger like everyone recommended, they were indeed that... too large. I have returned for a smaller size. These shoes are great, and I actually like the look of these. You definitely get what you pay for!!! Thank you ZAPPOS for offering such great products, great prices, and the BEST shipping around!! I am a customer for life!!!

MBT review - These shoes are possibly the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. For me they run a whole size smaller. I would recommend buying a size larger than you normally wear. Looks are mediocre. I'd like to see the manufacturer use a better quality of material on the top and no plastic please.

My M.Walk Shoes - When I received the M-Walk, I thought they looked a little like "Munster" shoes, but I grew to love them. They are very comfortable and they actually did help with my lower-back/leg problems. I enjoy walking in these shoes more than any I've had before. My husband seems to think they are heavy, but they don't seem to be at all when I walk in them. I may just get another pair, too, and am trying to talk my husband into a pair since he's got a leg problem also. I'm glad I saw Rachael Ray's show that day - she talked about how her mother will only wear this brand of shoes. I must say that I agree!! I found that they were right when they said they run small. I had to exchange them - I should've listened.
