Customer Reviews MBT Sport 2

Bought these after trying every other Shape Up type shoe that I tried on. I have my treadmill at work under my desk and walk while I work and sometimes up to 13 miles a day if I'm in my office a lot. I have never once regretted buying these shoes. They're the only shoes that I want to put on every day. I have Rhuematoid Arthritis and suffer from knee, hip and feet and ankle pain. These are the only shoes that help me stay on my feet and moving as I have to do. Love 'em, love 'em! My husband wants a pair now that he sees how much walking I can do! And of course as usual I ordered on Monday afternoon at 2 pm and these were on my doorstep the very next day! I love Zappos, too!

I have been struggling with back pain the past 6 months. My husband, who has been wearing MBT for the last 3 or 4 years, suggested I give them a try. My MBT sport has been a life saver. I am using my core muscles better, am more aware of posture, walk longer before back pain makes me stop, and am generally feeling much better since I got my new MBT's. I ended up buying 1/2 size smaller than I usually buy.I did try to buy a sandal, but just did not like how it looked. MBT, please make an open toed shoe in summer colors, my only choices were black, dark brown and white. I guess that white is a summer color, but I never buy white shoes, they are too stark!

Very comfortable. I wear them for 12 hours straight at work and my legs and feet still feel good by the end of the day.

I love this shoe and I literally wear the shoes every day. I had a break-in period, but after that threshold, these are now the most comfortable shoes I own. I got blisters on both feet after my first outdoor walk. I learned that the shoes weren't snug enough. Once I tightened them up, I was fine. I bought the shoes strictly for the toning/health benefits. After wearing toning shoes for approximately 8 weeks, I have the most amazing calves and nice hamstrings. I don't know if it's the shoes, my new zeal for walking or both. (I walk 4 miles daily.) I recommend these shoes for comfort and toning.

I can say for sure that this MBT style is excellent for feet that need help in the worst way. The rocking motion takes the pressure off the injury and provides the most comfort of all sneakers. There is no comparison between this MBT and some of the new Mock sneakers (ie: Skechers for one), other than the price. The price is a lot to pay, but the comfort is worth it, and using my own orthotics in the shoe. Otherwise I feel there is not enough arch support. Excellent for feet with neuropathy !

This is my second pair of these wonderful shoes! What a difference they make in how my back, hips, and legs feel. Great for anyone who suffers from pain in those areas. Also helps with your posture.

Zappos, you blow me away! Ordered these at 9:30 p.m. and got them the next afternoon, and I'm not just around the corner, either! I purchased these shoes because of severe plantar fasciitis, although toning my butt is a nice thing! Upon wearing, my pain is gone almost instantly. Highly recommend the MBT's over the less expensive versions; the quality is obvious, and I know I'll own these for awhile, but not sure about the Skechers. I walk straight and tall, whereas the Skechers are a little wobbly. Highly recommend paying the extra money, especially if foot pain is your main complaint.

Don't quite like the look of these shoes, but they are very comfortable and a Godsend for the back. This style has more toebox room than other styles but make sure you get a half to whole size bigger.

I actually like these shoes a lot more than I thought I would! I wear them on my elliptical machine workout! The color (gray) and style are such that I can wear them with anything, anywhere and they look sporty and quite 'normal!' Though expensive, I feel the cost was worth it at this point (a month of wear).

These are the best! I'm a large woman, work 12 hour shifts and have bad knees. They make my knees and back feel great. I usually wear a wide but these are comfortable. Worth the cost!

Love this shoe as it helps my back. Definitely worth the cost.

I have the pleasure of owning these shoes and I must say that they are great! When I purchased my shoes my feet were swollen and aching. The very first time that I put the shoes on it was magnetic, like my feet wanted to be in these shoes. I walked in my shoes on Thursday evening and Friday. Saturday morning I noticed that the swelling had gone down in my left foot. When I get up in the morning I reach for my MBT's. I hate that I can't do my gardening in them right now (I have the white Sport 2). But as soon as I acquire more of these MBT's I'll be doing everything in them.

My chiropractor told me I was wasting my money going to him. He could not help me. He recommended IBTs. Now IBTs are the only shoes I wear. I tried a knock off and very soon realized they were not the same. My back pain was back in 3 days. Great shoes and wonderful customer service.

Amazing shoes. I wear them all day everyday (except when it\'s wet outside). I ordered 1\/2 size larger than my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly. I will definitely order more if these wear out!

I adore my MBT Sport 2 Walkers! I have had them for a few weeks now and wear them almost every day; whether I am going on a "power walk" or just to the market - they are terrific! There are even "balance" or "core" workouts available that are designed to be done specifically with the MBT's!

My girlfriend is a nurse who works 12 hour shifts and these have helped her endure the long work day on her feet. Before she had these she was coming home in severe pain and had to take pills. You cant put a price on that difference in quality of life.

I bought these shoes because, at 26, I have ankle, knee, hip, and back problems. I also love to workout and do a lot of higher impact cardio, and my regular tennis shoes just weren’t cutting it. I bought my Sport 2's and feel like I'm getting an extra bounce in my steps. It sounds completely ridiculous, but I feel like when I walk I have a little extra hop from the cushy heel. Sadly I didn't do enough research to see if that was the point of the cushy heel bit, but I feel wonderful when I walk in these. When I work out wearing these I have a lot less pain in my joints and can do the higher impact stuff without extra pain. One thing to note about the Sport 2 is that it's based off of a mens shoe, which means the toe is very, very roomy. It almost felt too big, but there isn't extra room at the front of my toes only around them. It's a little unusual for me, but they are very comfy.

I had self-diagnosed the pain in my heel that I had when I finished my daily 3.5 mile walk as plantar fasciitis. After my walk I hobbled around the rest of the day in pain - but I love walking and didn\'t want to give it up. I also had terrible pain in my heel in the morning. I had read about MBT\'s and purchased a pair. My relief was immediate! I have not had a moment\'s pain since I began wearing them for my walks. I cancelled my appointment with my foot doctor. Amazing what a difference a pair of shoes can make. They are extremely comfortable and also are easy to put on -unlike my other walking shoes that required a shoehorn. I will be buying other styles in the future.

I LOVE these shoes! They have great support, but they run a bit wide. They are very heavy, but I need the support. Be careful and ONLY purchase MBT from authorized dealers like Zappos. I bought a pair from another site, they are counterfeit and I'm out the money!

This is one of the best shoe investments I have made. I am going to walking 26-39 miles in May and I am confident I can do that many miles in these shoes. Excellent arch support and comfort for long or short distances. Will buy another MBT soon!

Wow! Forget the shoes. Once again, Zappos customer service never ceases to amaze. Called for an exchange at 10 pm last night, new shoes out for delivery this morning. Is there any reason to buy anywhere else?

I have several styles of MBT shoes and love how they work as there is no comparison with any other fitness type shoe. However, I have always had to size up at least 1 1/2 to 2 sizes because the toe box is small, narrow and sort of pointy which doesn't accommodate toes well, especially in a walking or sport shoe. I have been in contact with a MBT representative about what I call a design flaw as the small toe box is what causes having to size up and in turn can cause the rest of the shoe fit to be 'off'. The representative recommended I try the Sport 2 because it is made with a roomier toe box than the other styles and is a wider fit for those with wide feet. I do NOT have wide feet but decided to give them a try. They do fit pretty good in the toe although they are quite large and very wide and I would need to wear them with thick sport socks for them to fit. I actually thought the fit was better than any other styles but the appearance is very unattractive and ESPECIALLY the gray color which is downright ugly. I will reorder this style in black which seems to downplay the look of some of the other MBT styles I have enough that I will wear them out of my house at least for a walk in the neighborhood.

This shoe is really comfortable. I ordered 1/2 size larger, and kept it so I could wear thicker socks. I also tried 2 other styles and would have needed the 1/2 size larger just to fit. Would recommend for anyone to help your posture.

Great choice for me. I stand on my feet all day on concrete floors and find that my feet and back no longer bother me as they did. I am glad I decided to make the investment.

Very comfortable and very easy to get used to. First day, I forgot I had them on and wore them around the house for about four hours. I did notice that my legs were tired and realized why. There is definitely toning of the calves. Not seen any change in the rear yet. I did not follow the recommendation that I read somewhere about going down one half size. With socks, the shoe is about one half size too large. It is still comfortable and I just wear slightly thicker socks. The shoes look much better in person and give the illusion that your feet are smaller.
