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.

I love the dressy look of my new MBT's. I'd read here (and on the site where I ordered) that they are running 1/2 size smaller and that I should order 1/2 size larger than my norm. I printed the foot sizing chart and ordered the 1/2 size larger but when they arrived (and they arrived quickly) they were just a tad large. I ruminated about what to do but decided to return them for the 8's and I'm so glad I did. They fit great and function the same as my MBT sandals in terms of 'the walk'. It's GREAT to be able to wear dressier clothes with them! Hope the company continues to upgrade and update their styles so the whole line becomes more contemporary and attractive. MBT's have resolved my foot issues (I'm a therapist on my feet all workday) and I'm very grateful.

I'm on my feet at work all day, and need comfortable shoes. They also have to be BLACK- I didn't want to spend $249 for the black Tunishas, so I bought the Grape color for $119, purchased shoe cleaner and black dye from a shoe repair shop for $12, and now, with a little work on my part, have a perfect pair of black MBTs for half the cost. One shoe was a little snug, so I filled a baggie 1/4 full with water, put it in the toe of the shoe, and froze it in the freezer overnight. The water expanded to ice, stretched the shoe, and now it's perfect. They do however run big on the heel, but a silicon heel cushion fixed that. I've worn them for a week now, and I do recommend this shoe- balancing on the arch helps when you have to stand for long periods of time, and they're comfortable to walk in. Buy 1 size larger, they run short.

I purchased the MBT Tunisha as well as the MBT Kaya (both mary jane styles) and I can definitely say that the Tunisha falls short. It does not feel like it has the same rocker action as the Kaya. In addition, the sole did not feel as cushioned. When wearing the Tunishas, my heels kept slipping up and down as I walked. I can imagine that I would develop blisters with that constant friction. I also suspect that the buckle might not keep the shoes in place as well as velcro or laces. I tried two different sizes in the Tunishas and they both had the same problem with the heel slipping. I didn't experience this at all with the Kaya. The Tunisha style is cute and certainly appropriate for work situations, but I didn't feel that the physiological advantage of wearing MBTs was noticeable with the Tunisha. Try the Kaya instead.
