This product will not only change the way you use your muscles, but will improve the use of your joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk. With each step we take, pressure acts on the foot. MBT's distribute this load evenly, which prevents ailments that can be caused by the concentration of pressure on individual points.

Summary: Hurt my feet
Comment: I bought this product from another vendor, but was so disappointed that I thought I would write a review here so others would know. I bought these shoes because I stand for 10 hours a day at work and wanted a shoe that would be easier on my knees and back. Unfortunately, they hurt my feet so badly I can barely walk when I get home - and my feet were never my problem. There was no video included from where I bought them, so that may be the problem. I guess I could be "wearing them wrong," but I wouldn't think it should be that hard to figure out. I have read and heard pretty much only good reviews of this shoes, but it turns out it's not for everyone. So don't wear them anywhere but on carpet unless you know you want them for sure (unable to return them after that).

Summary: Poor execution, terrible coustumer service
Comment: I have a pair of Swiss Masai Sport High shoes that i purchased in 2006. The "Masai Sensor", the elliptical section underneath the heel has come unglued torn after 6 months of very light use. I didn't use these shoes as recreational/sport equipment and feel this may be a defect.
After many unsuccessful tries to contact Masai USA through their e-mail system, I end-up calling the original seller. They told me that the warranty expired after 6 months and there is nothing they can do, but they gave me Masai USA Corp. number. There, i was cut short by representative. It's been over 6 months, end of story. Needless to say i'm left with bitter taste in my mouth.
I love the idea but the poor execution in my case and terrible costumer service/policy set me back over $260.

Summary: Great shoes!
Comment: I have written a review on the lower-soled shoes, but just received these shoes today. I know it's early, but I like these so much and I was online, so I thought I'd review them right now. They are extremely well-made. I've read that some people have been unhappy with their shoes. My other pair has lasted 2 years so far, and they are still going strong. I bought these, though, because I liked the idea that they are higher and will help work out your legs more.
To be honest, I don't know if these really do a great job working out one's legs. I used to think so, but I work out a lot and stretch my calves a lot and work out my legs, so I'm not really sure if I'm getting a huge benefit from these shoes or not. But, I do like that my posture is straight, and I like that, when I do walk, these feel as if I might be getting some benefit. I am not a big walker, though. And, I don't normally wear sneaker-type shoes during the day. But, if we go to the park or hiking (on paths, not real hiking), I try to wear these shoes (or my older pair) as much as possible.
MBT salespeople recommend that one tries out the lower soled shoes first and then, as a second pair, get these. I'm not sure I agree unless one has some medical issues. If you're just buying them because you think they may have some fitness benefit, then, by all means, pick the ones you like.
When I bought my first pair, I was told they were just for walking. I have since learned that they are fine for training, too, just not for competing. That said, I try and workout in these, too. If you do a lot of standing exercises or leg exercises, sometimes that is a little difficult, since your balance is not as stable as in regular shoes. It is a little like working out on mini swiss balls, though. . . your core will get a better workout, as well.

Summary: Great additon to my weekly workouts...
Comment: These shoes are fabulous! I get stopped all the time by people who want to know what shoes I'm wearing. Even though I'm at the gym 3 times a week doing my workouts I still find that these shoes give me a different type of workout on my calves, inner thighs and rear end. When I'm at home I like to do a treadmill workout at a 12% grade to really get my heart rate up.
As you begin to use these shoes I would be sure to break them in slowly. Don't overdue it your first time out of the gate. The first day try them around the house and get use to them. You'll feel as though your body wants to rock back and forth - this is great for your core as you stabilize using those tummy muscles.
I wouldn't suggest wearing these shoes for anything other than everyday walking - they're not really supportive enough to do a heavy workout that includes running. Included with these shoes is a video that gives great instructions on how to use them properly and maximize their usage. I highly recommend viewing the video so you get your money worth.
One of my girlfriends owns the sandals with a lower sole and they don't quite do the job she was looking for but that style is great to wear in the summer b/c these are truly a tennis shoe and my feet tend to get a bit hot in them after awhile. I'll be bringing these shoes with me on our family vacation to Disney World. After 9 days of walking the parks with our 3 young children I should be in stellar shape!
You may think the price tag is a bit hefty but these shoes are well worth the money!
