Customer Reviews MBT Habari

I absolutely love these shoes. They are super comfortable with amazing support. I expected that from MBT, however, I did not expect all of these compliments that I am receiving about them.

I am extremely happy with MBTs and just purchased my second pair of Habari sandals (had black, just got chocolate). I also have the Fora GTX walking shoes. In the sandals I wear the size 40 1/3 (9.5) but in the closed toed Fora I wear a 41 (10) but I do have to make sure they are laced tightly. A significant thing to note about MBTs (for new wearers) is it is very important to pay attention to the recommendations about walking in them (and how to choose the proper size) because it is as though one must relearn how to walk! I was walking incorrectly the first (20-40) miles in the Fora shoes and got blisters on the back of my ankles because of it. But as soon as I started walking "right" that never happened again. My overall posture has improved greatly, even when I wear other kinds of shoes, and I have a lot less lower back pain and that problem continues to improve. Plus, I even sit more properly now. One thing I am always willing to spend money on is good quality shoes. But because MBTs improve overall health, I consider their cost to be part of my proactive and healthy lifestyle budget. And they have saved me money because they are fixing my back pain and, because they are helping me improve my health, they are helping me increase my productivity. Don't wait another minute to get yours!

My favorite walking shoe. Wore it to a museum for over 4 hours and no back, leg pain afterwards. They are super comfortable right out of the box. They look best with pants, I think. I wear a 7.5 and the ordered the 37 2/3 based on reviews. The fit is perfect.

I have three pairs of this particular MBT style - and knowing the price of these babies, that's saying a lot! I have several pairs of MBTs, these are by far my favorite, the best looking with the best fit and style. MBT shoes are incredibly comfortable; I can walk in them all day. I have an extra bone in my foot (I know - weird, huh? But I'm not alone!) and as a result I have hypermobility in my feet and need shoes that provide a lot of support. My doctor recommends MBT's and they have never let me down in terms of comfort. I am glad they have shoes that have a little more style than the older models. I always get my MBTs from Zappos. I made a mistake and bought a pair from another internet shoe site, they were defective. I had a devil of a time getting them returned. Since then I always buy my MBTs from Zappos - great selection and 100% confidence when buying from them that I will get quality merchandise!

So far, wore these once for church. Had hot spots on the balls of my feet, so not too happy.

Alas, I have to return these since I have narrow feet and with this style I can't adjust except at the back and that didn't solve them being to roomy in the upper foot area. They hit my pinky toe and rubbed uncomfortably. I do love my other MBT sandals that have an adjustable strap across the upper foot area and highly recommend MBT's for folks like me w/plantar fasciitis.

I have worn these shoes almost every day for the last year! They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!

I love these shoes! love, love, love 'um! I want to wear them everyday. As long as MBT keeps offering more styles, I'll keep buying. Thank you Zappos!

After traveling for nine weeks in Greece, Argentina, and Antarctica with no relief, I met Karen, who introduced me to MBTs. Unlike medicine, chiropractic, acupuncture, and yoga, wearing MBTs has rid me of sciatica. I only wear MBTs because I want no return of this crippling nerve pincher. The last year has been bliss. This is my third pair of affordable, on sale MBTs from Zappos. The other three pair come from the store. Thank you thank you thank you for the release from pain and a fatter wallet.

This is my third pair of Habari MBT's. I love them. They are so comfortable and I actually get compliments on them, which is pretty good for an MBT shoe. I have friends with back and knee problems who love them also. The sale price on these was fantastic. Naturally Zappos service is the best.

I love the MBT brand of shoes. I wear a pair of MBT's every day. My hips and spine love them too! I buy them from Zappos because of their world class customer service.

I have a few pairs of MBT, but am really happy with these because they look great! Color is perfect. Comfort great. Same size as I am used to. This brand is effective & lasts forever.

Very comfortable shoe. I broke them in slowly and had no problems getting used to them. I wear a 7.5 and sometimes an 8. I ordered a 38 2/3. It fit perfectly. I have short toes though.

Love the sandal. I bought the sandal after buying a MBT shoe and falling in love with the brand. FYI, though, I had to exchange the first sandal for a larger size -- the size 8 is more like a size 7.5 and it was too narrow in the toes and the toes went right up to the tip of the sandal. Anway, the size 8.5 was perfect (I'm a size 8). It's my everyday wear over the weekend.

I bought the Habari in brown 2 years ago. They are still in great shape and I love them. I just had to have the same shoe in the cream color. They are great for my flat feet. With MBTs I do not have to wear any orthotics.

Great shoe. They feel great and I love them. I love my MBTs!

I have a lot to say about Zappos now that I've had my first bad experience not buying from Zappos! A friend recommended MBT shoes for my knee problems. I went online and found them at Zappos -- and remembered watching a show on how generous Zappos was with giving shoes to others in need. I loved the shoes and they totally corrected my posture, therefore taking away my knee pain. So I went online again, found them cheaper, ordered two pair, and got ripped off by fake MBT's from a company in China. It has taken a lot of time and effort, and my credit card company still hasn't resolved the dispute in my favor. I ordered two more from Zappos, and will always recommend and buy from Zappos. Thanks for your integrity and generosity towards those in need. My concern is that those who are first time buyers who don't know the difference in genuine MBTs will think it's a cheaply made shoe that isn't made to really correct their posture. It is amazing how these fake ones replicate all the inside stamping characters and printed tags on the shoes, yet the weight, design and cheap leather are dead giveaways to those who know the genuine MBT brand. I have contacted the MBT home office to air my concerns.

Very cute! This is my third pair of MBT, and this is the first one that looks normal enough to wear to work; the other two were too sporty. Feels great, comfortable, as they all do, and looks lovely. Thank you, Zappos!

MBT is the most famous of the rocker-bottom shoes, partly because it was the first of its kind. As a small shoe company, they've historically been limited in the number of models they release, and some of the shoes have been downright unattractive. I've always thought of it as "comfort and fit over looks." This seems to be slowly changing, though, as MBT is slowly starting to release more attractive offerings that still provide the signature sole. The MBT Habari is a good example of a shoe that went outside the typical MBT box. Take a look at all the models MBT sells here; you will see that most of them are covered shoes, and many of them look clunky. The Habari is an exception. The straps are sleek, and this is one of the few models that can easily adapt to your occasion. Wear it to the beach or the boardwalk, wear it around town to the farmer's market. Or dress up a little bit for a nicer evening out. OK, so these aren't your 5-inch Louboutins for a night out at a posh nightclub. But if you're looking for a more stylish, less clunky look for your warmer weather wardrobe, the MBT Habari is a great pick. The Habari also comes in three colors--I'm tempted to get all three! The fit is perfect. My feet are wide, and the toes feel a little snug but I was able to wear these straight out of the box. Walk around and break them in, and your toes will thank you. The back strap is adjustable with Velcro, making it easy to get in and out of (as well as adjusting the fit). Because these are open-toed sandals, you do not get insoles with these shoes. That means the arches aren't quite so pronounced as the other models, but there is still firm (but comfortable) support for your arches here. An altogether great summer sandal, I'm giving this one 5 stars all around.

Love these shoes - fit is great, love them in black with the black sole. Was looking for another MBT sandal and these are outstanding.

Really great shoe. Usually I can\'t wear a leather sandal, because my feet perspire and I get blisters, but for some reason it doesn\'t happen with this one. Love them. They ain\'t pretty, but I don\'t care.

Reliable MBTs! This is my 3rd pair of MBT sandals, with 3 pairs of shoes. These sandals look good and feel great, just like the others. I also have Skechers Shape-up sandals and shoes, but they're not up to the MBT standard, with a somewhat squishy sole that doesn't provide the same support.

I have several MBT\'s, they are great to keep the impact off your knees and propel you to walk faster. the straps need to be broken in because they tend to cut in regardless of the size of your foot. overall another great MBT. accept no subitutes.

This is my first pair of MBT shoes. I like them but still they feel a little awkward when I walk. I have lots of problems with my feet and these shoes came highly recommended. I love the look and actually took them to my podiatrist to check out. He thought that they were a very good option and liked the firm sole. Thank you Zappos for your ease in purchasing and returns. Love your company.
