From the Manufacturer
MBT shoes are physiological footwear--the first footwear that has a positive effect on the entire body. MBT stands for "Masai Barefoot Technology." Their innovative design includes a multi-layered, curved sole which makes for a unique and rewarding walking experience. The key to MBT is its patented sole structure. The shank, PU midsole with Pivot and the Masai Sensor create a soft surface that is akin to walking barefoot on springy moss or on a sandy beach. This creates a natural instability underfoot, which activates the supporting muscle system and has positive effects on the entire body. Wearing MBTs significantly improves your gait and posture and relieves pressure on your joints and back. It also exercises a large number of muscles, whether you’re walking or standing. This, in turn, stimulates your metabolism, burns extra calories and speeds up muscle regeneration. In addition, MBTs can have a firming effect on abdominal, leg and buttock muscles. Wearing MBT shoes can also be a therapeutic tool for back, hip, leg and foot problems. At MBT they don't believe in shoes. They believe in footwear that makes you better from the ground up.

MBT shoes make such a difference to your posture, comfort and health. I still wear nice dress shoes to meeting but I really live in MBT.. from dress shoes, running shoes and sandals. They my not be the prettiest shoes on the block but you can wear them for 12 hours straight with total comfort.. Just outstanding value.

Shoes arrived by UPS in a plastic-type mailing envelope so the original MBT box was somewhat crushed during the shipping process. Fortunately the shoes were packaged well inside the MBT box and suffered no apparent damaged during shipping. The shoes were in pristine condition and exhibited no evidence of having been previously tried-on, mismatched, or flawed in any way.
I ordered the "white" Nafasi shoes but please note that the leather actually appears more of a creamy off-white or perhaps a very pale khaki color rather than the bleached athletic shoe white I expected (as it appeared on my LCD monitor while viewing the color options online). Gladly the color difference is not a concern for me.
This is my first pair of MBT's and were purchased at the recommendation of my foot doctor to combat foot pain/discomfort. I normally wear a men's size 9 (US) so before ordering I was a little concerned about the fit because the closest available size was 9-9.5 D. As I suspected, the fit was slightly loose for me at first but with 2 pair of socks along with the way the shoe is designed to "cup" my heel, the fit is comfortable and much to my relief doesn't slip while walking. The shoes are heavier than I expected but obviously of high quality in both construction and materials.
It is going to take a little time to get used to "rolling" rather than "flopping" but after just a few times out walking the dogs with these shoes on I can feel they were a great choice. The price on Amazon (an authorized MBT online retailer) makes this a great buy as well.
