Review of MBT - The Anti-Footwear Shoe Brand MBT Footwear markets themselves as the "anti-shoe" company. With their unique design and interesting footwear philosophy, they've quickly become a popular shoe choice for those willing to spend a little more for something different. But, the question is - are these shoes really all they claim to be? Are they actually that comfortable and can they truly help improve posture and back pain? For a helpful review of MBT shoes and to find out if they're really worth the cost, keep reading. Price Point For a standard pair of MBT Footwear shoes, you can expect to pay between $220 and $280. When considering a basic sneaker, that's a lot of money, and for many it's simply too much. Fans of the shoe, though, say it's worth it. How Comfortable are their Shoes Really? The basic concept behind the design of MBT shoes is that they're made not just for the foot, but for the whole body. So, the manufacturers produced a shoe with a rounded sole. The concept is that it creates a more natural gait, improves your posture, reduces impact and can even relieve back pain while simultaneously burning more calories. The reality is that for many customers who aren't accustomed to this type of shoe, the experience can be awkward and uncomfortable. Fans of the brand will tell you it just takes time to get used to the shoe, while critics say it shouldn't require a few weeks to feel comfortable in a new pair of shoes. Personally, this brand of shoes aren't for me. Overall, I found the shoes to be uncomfortable and actually somewhat unsettling. I tried the shoes for 4 days and was still unable to get into a rhythm or comfortable walk. In short, this is a shoe that you really have to try before you commit to it.
