These shoes are great! I had ankle surgery a year ago and am finally able to walk with these shoes. They have changed my life!

Excellent sandals! They are comfortable, supportive of my weak knees, adjustable every time I wear them, and they are more stylish than a previous pair of MBT sandals I had.

These shoes fit well and are very comfortable. I do miss the thicker sole of the original MBT's. I felt the thicker sole made me work harder on my balance and core muscles.

These sandals are much more attractive than other MBT sandals and shoes I own, but just as comfortable. The only caveat is they run quite large; I usually wear size 8 but needed size 6.5 in these...also, there is no adjustable strap for the heel so you do have to get the right size in the first place.

I bought a pair of these after loving my Kisumu MBT sandals. I have wide feet, and even though the strap that goes across the toes is adjustable, I worried about the one that went across the instep. No worries, they fit fine and I love them. They are definitely more stylish than previous MBT sandals, and I wear them every time I head out the door for a walk. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone who likes the MBT sandals. I typically wear a size 9 and I purchased the 9/9.5 sandal. Shipping and dealing with Zappos is a 5 star experience.

This were comfortable from the time I put them on. The lower MBT sole is much easier to get used to and these shoes did not disappoint. They look nice and I'm wearing them more than any shoes this summer.

Wow! These are my favorite pair of MBT's. Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They're much lighter than my other MBT's. I plan on ordering another pair. I have knee and ankle problems from psoriatic arthritis and they help seem to help with my pain. If you get one pair, you'll want another in no time!

I tried these because I thought the adjustable top would make up for the medium width on my wide feet. However, they still don't actually fit right throughout. Too bad, because I was ready to spend on a really good healthy sandal. Wish they made these in wide! Otherwise I could see they would be very comfortable, are very well-made, and are nice looking considering they are health shoes.

I had some problems with the sizing of these shoes that was due to an error. I called customer service and they fixed the problem. A new pair was sent out that same day and I was not charged for the shoes a 2nd time. Most online retailers will charge you for an item until they receive your returned item.

These sandals are so comfortable. If you haven't had MBT shoes before they take a little bit of getting used to. That said you can walk in them all day and not get a back ache. They have a nice springy feeling and that angled strap across the instep is a good stabilizer.

Katika has comfortable straps and looks more feminine than many MBT sandles. The rocker design is wonderful for decreasing static pressure on my fused foot as my foot rocks in the sandal.

Love these MBT's so much! In fact, I ordered the brown shortly after wearing the beige ones. They are well designed and not at all clunky -- like them even better than the earlier sandal styles (which, of course, I am still wearing!). Very well worth the money in my opinion -- will outlast cheaper varieties for sure.

I was looking for a summer pair of MBT shoes, and returned to Zappos. There was a great selection of shoes discounted from regular price. Shipping was free and my shoes were delivered almost the next day! I highly recommend online purchasing from Zappos!

One of the best sandals I have. MBTs are so comfortable for me - I have flat feet and a very bad ankle and the rocking makes it easier for me to walk and the cushioned sole is great.

Comfort as MBT is known for, but lacking the full rocker, so a bit different than the original tennis shoes. But all in all, they are great for my back. So would buy again!

Comfortable, supportive sandal that I wanted to like, but looks very much like "old person shoes". For the price I can get three pair of cute Orthaheels Tide.

These were very comfortable, and extended the length of my walks. However, I had worn them out in three months, whereas my previous several pairs of MBTs are still wearable after years! I contacted MBT, and they blamed me. I am very disappointed with their customer service; but I am spoiled with Zappos! I cannot afford to keep on with this style!

Thought these shoes felt amazing when I first tried them on. Perfect fit, no spot rubbed, and they were decently cute (for MBTs). Unfortunately, once I wore them for a while, I realized that they weren't aligned properly with my feet (the pivot point seemed to be in the wrong place) and I would un in a world of pain in my arches. I have 3 other pairs of MBTs and wear them constantly. Not sure why this pair is different, but I was very disappointed.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the MBT Katika sandal because I had bought and loved MBT sandals and shoes before. The fit, quality and balance were not the same as in the past. So I had to return.

Blisters! I love the idea of the MBT sandals. I purchased them to wear in Europe. Unfortunately, the heel straps cause bleeding blisters on my heels. I wish I could wear them as they are expensive. Very disappointing.

Too long in my usual size, and too tight in a size smaller. Sandals need closer fit anyway. My toes were hidden below the strap, but the comfort was great. The smaller size was tight overall, and short. Too bad. Nice and lightweight, nice arch, average rocker, but would have been okay if my toes were not an inch back from the end.

I have MBT mary janes which support my arch because they are enclosed! Would love the sandals but they are not quite wide enough so I had to send them back! The sandals this year are cute but just not wide enough! Without Zappos I probably would not have any shoes to wear because they carry shoes that are wide in many styles! stores only carry regular widths! Thank you Zappos for the opportunity to search for comfortable shoes!
