Customer Reviews MBT M.Walk

Love these shoes. I have noticed a difference in only a couple of weeks. I just wish I could wear them a bit more inconspicuously so I could wear them more. They do run small though, so make sure to order the size up! Thanks so much for such a great shoe that really makes a difference in your legs.

I love this shoe! I have the worst problems with my feet and ankles so buying shoes for me is usually a nightmare. The MBTs are not only beyond comfortable, but have transformed my body. Buy a half size larger than usual size.

I was walking with a walker until I bought these shoes. I have very little pain in my legs now and I walk on my own. You have to get used to them. I wear them about 4 hrs a day. I think I am feeling so much better. I can continue working now instead of retiring.

The MBT shoes I ordered were sent out quickly and I received them in record time. The service was great, when I placed my order the sales lady was very friendly and efficient. I love my new MBT shoes. Thank you Zappos.

You need to try these on before you buy them, they tend to vary from style to style in fit. I went up a whole size in this particular style. They are great for standing and walking as I do at work. I tried them for walking 3 miles instead of my running/walking shoes and noted that my knees were a little sore from hyperextending, which I'd probably get better at noticing after a while and correct. But I've been wearing them for work for over a year and it's the only shoe I wear now. They keep the pressure off of any one particular part of my foot, and it gives options with the rocker bottom to come to a rest on the ball/toes of my foot, my arch, or my heel. It's such an improvement over always having a fairly flat stance. I also get a lot of attention from wearing them, people always want to know if they 'work'. I only know I have very tired feet and legs when I don't wear them after 8 hours of standing/walking.. and with them I have more endurance. Great work shoe, and even the men at my work wear them now. I also am just a little bit taller in them, which is a plus.

I bought an MBT sandal earlier this year and fell in love with the way it makes my legs feel when I walk. I wear the sandals for a 2 mile walk every morning. As fall approaches I wanted very badly to have a pair of closed MBT shoes, but my size is ladies' 11 and my foot is narrow. The sandals have velcro straps and can be easily adjusted. Everything I have read indicates that MBT shoes run small and that you should order the next larger size. For me that would be ladies' 12 and Tataga is the only style I could find in size 12. It does not have as thick a sole as my sandals and the M.Walk. So I took a chance and ordered a size 11 M.Walk and am delighted to report that it works for me. I cannot wear heavy socks with the shoes, but the socks I prefer for walking work perfectly. Since Zappos provides free shipping both ways, customers can afford to try different sizes and I knew I could order the size 12 in another style later if I needed to do that. MBT's are wonderful!

These run really small, but once you find your correct size they are a godsend! I had to order 10.5 in these and I wear a 9-9.5 in regular shoes. (I have 9.5 in MBT sport, 10 in MBT Chapa, and 10 in MBT Lami). These really work your legs, especially if you are walking up hill! No more aching feet---MBT's have become my go-to comfort shoe----totally replacing Dansko. I hope they keep improving the styles!

I was skeptical, but I no longer am! These shoes are great. My work requires me to stand for about 5-7 consecutive hours at a time and before these shoes, my mid-lower back and hips would hurt. Since these shoes, I have had less pain. Also, these shoes do work out muscles that you haven't worked out before. I am a runner so I thought I would be okay wearing these shoes the whole day when I first got them, but I was really achy at the end of the day, just like walking on the beach! After the first 3-4 days though, I got used to it and my legs were no longer achy. They have not made me lose weight, but I have never tried to actively walk in them because I only wear them for work. The shoes were a little stiff during the first few wears and my little toe hurt, but the shoes broke in and there are no problems with that anymore. This is a very good shoe and would recommend these for comfort.

GREAT PRODUCT! Love this shoe! Have been walking further and more consistently than ever before. No problems with my knees (which has been a problem with every other sneaker out there). Take the advice of others, buy a 1/2 size larger than usual.

I love these shoes! My feet do not get tired. My back doesn't hurt. I can feel them working - I really can. I even wear them while I am at home. I've read reviews of people complaining that they do not know what all the raves are about, but I think they did not have the proper fit. I did have to get a half size larger. (If when you receive them your toes are at all scrunched your toes will fall asleep, but a 1/2 size larger did the trick for me.) Also, these shoes come up high on the heel, so if you do not wear high enough socks they will wiggle down on you. I got blisters my first time, but now I wear higher socks and there is no problem. All in all, I am happy with my purchase and while they are an expensive shoe, I would buy them again and will get another pair when I wear these out.

This was my first pair of MBT's. Love them! I needed a half size larger, but fit is great. I have both foot pain and back pain or should I say that I had pain. After getting my legs used to walking in these wonderful shoes, I can now wear them all day and plan to take them to Europe with me this fall. Can't wait to get a second pair.

I'm a NY fashion designer and have quite a collection of designer shoewear that includes ballet slippers, 4" heels and a wide selection of boots. Because I would never, ever wear something as clunky and clumsy (translation: ugly)as MBT's, I resisted trying them for a year, and now I wear them more than any other shoe. In fact, I'd rather wear MBT's than go barefoot! They're everything MBT claims. Wearing them causes me to stand straighter and pull in my core muscles. I never have any tension in my neck, shoulders or back, my knees feel great, & when I wear my MBT's I feel just like I did when I was a kid; I run around all day without a care in the world. These shoes are so much fun to wear that I couldn't care less about how they look. I just love my MBT's. Kudos to Zappos for making them available to us.

I bought the pink M.Walk's by MBT about a month ago. I wasn't sure of my size, so I ordered one in US size 9 (39 2/3) and one in size 9.5 (40 1/3). I wear an 8.5 in regular tennis shoes and was advised to go a half size larger for the MBTs. Well, it turns out I needed a whole size larger. The 9 felt very small; the 9.5 felt perfect. I already had the red/tan Mary Jane style MBTs and wear a size 9 in those. The discrepancy in sizes could be because I don't wear cushioned socks with the Mary Janes but do wear them with the M.Walk. I think these shoes are perfect for walking for exercise, but I didn't like the feel of them when I wore them to a low impact aerobics class. It was too hard to keep my balance when doing the fast footwork moves in class. They are incredible for wearing around the house and around town, though! In regular tennis shoes my knees and lower back would start hurting after an hour of running errands, but in the M.Walk's I can go for hours without discomfort. The M.Walk style is very cute on the foot. I don't feel like I'm wearing oversized shoes. In fact, I enjoy being an inch taller in them. My advice is to try them through Zappos; their customer service is the best!

I love my MBT\'s! I had put off trying them for a few years, thinking they were just the latest gimmick, but these shoes are wonderful. I can definitely feel a difference in my butt, hamstrings and back after wearing them consistantly for only a few weeks. Not only do I wear them for exercise, but I wear them around the house too. If you\'ve been thinking about them too - just try them. You will not be disappointed.

Oh, my gosh! I was very skeptical of the claims made by MBT. After all, a shoe is a shoe, right? Wrong! This shoe really does work your legs and bottom while you walk. I consider myself in pretty good shape, so I was VERY surprised when I felt it working from the very first step. Well worth the money, but do what they suggest and order at least 1/2 size larger. I\'m normally a 7 or 7 1/2 and ended up with an 8. Very comfortable shoe. You won\'t be disappointed.

This was by far the best experience I've ever had with an online purchase. The service was wonderful. I bought the same shoe three times in different sizes trying to get the best fit. My returns and deliveries were next day. Awesome!

Very comfortable workout shoe. I normally wear a 7.5 and was told that these run small - they do. I ordered an 8 and it is still a little snug, but I like my workout shoes that way. Overall, it is a very comfy shoe. I have yet to see if they actually help tone the bum and hamstrings, but at least they are neat looking (I get comments all the time) and comfy. They are expensive, but I wanted to give them a try anyhow since they were compared to the Skechers Shape-Ups (which I also love, but much cheaper). So far, they seem to be similar, but I feel that these have a little more of the "rocking angle" than the Skechers do.

I just received my shoes and I'm walking around on the carpet to make sure I love them, which I think I do. I can tell they make me stand up straighter already! So impressed with the shipping of the shoes. I paid for 3 day express and received them the day after I ordered them. Amazing customer service! Zappos, you rock!

Great comfort! Follow the recommended adjustment schedule, as these shoes will make you sore as you adjust to them. To me that’s a great thing, because it makes me realize that they are working properly. I love the comfort and can’t wait to see the results.

Bizarre looking, but fabulously comfortable! I put them on immediately and didn’t take them off all evening and I can’t normally tolerate having my feet "enclosed" in the summer. They’re aptly named as they truly are primarily for walking. The rocker sole gives you a spring in your step and I definitely felt the workout my glutes got the next day. Don’t try to stand stationary for long periods of time though - I almost tipped over backwards while doing so! I highly recommend the MBT M.Walk if you are an avid walker.

I've had three pairs of MBT and I love this brand, and I wasn't disappointed with the MBT M.Walk. It has a more tapered toe box and a slimmer look to it, but it is as comfortable as my other MBT's. I ordered the same size shoe as my other MBT's and they're fine, although other people might think about ordering a half size larger than they normally would for comfort.

If you are wondering whether these shoes are worth the price, the answer is YES. In fact, now that I have these, the only problem is that I don't want to wear other shoes. However, I have just ordered MBTs in other styles. Just as a note about sizing, if you have wide feet/bunions and are unsure about sizing, you might go with a 1/2 size larger. These are made for medium-width feet, and if your feet need a generous width at the front they might be tight.

This was the first pair of MBT shoes that I purchased (unfortunately I didn't know about Zappos and their great service at the time). I am now a devoted MBT shoe wearer & Zappos customer. I have since purchased several pairs of MBTs from Zappos. I normally wear a size 7M, but I had to go up a half size in the M.Walk (as I have had to do in most pairs that I have purchased. The sizing is very individualized. I have low back and hip pain, and the MBTs have helped tremendously. I know they are more expensive than most of us are used to paying, but they are so worth it. I would suggest MBT reaccess the way they make their sandals, though. I have never been able to find one that fits comfortably.

These were my first pair of MBTs, and I love them. Took about two weeks of wearing several hours a day and working up to all day, to get the hang of walking easily and exercising the hamstrings, etc. My feet feel like they are getting a massage! I have a bunion, a wide forefoot, and narrow heel, and generally need arch supports. Sized up 1/2 size over dress shoes, they fit the same as my running shoes, but require thinner socks with same size, fit perfectly now. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone with foot, back, leg problems, etc, and anyone who is on their feet a lot. They are not good for unstable ground like hiking or for gym work-outs, but they are fabulous for walking and standing, especially on hard surfaces. After a few weeks, I no longer had back, knee, or foot pain as a result of wearing these for a part or all of every day. Worth the price!

I love my MBT's! Once adjusting your mind as to the correct way of walking in them they're wonderful. Losing the weight while walking in very comfortable shoes is just the best. I'll probably buy another pair in the near future because Zappos makes it very easy.
