Customer Review: Amazing! Gift from God
My first MBTs; these mary janes work for me and I have chubby feet. I do not find the straps too short and the heel does not slip up and down. I went with my regular shoe size even though I understand most people go a size up. They feel a little tight when standing, but when walking they are like extensions of my feet and feel great. I bought them in Seattle, walked (rolled) out of the store with them on and walked around the city the rest of the day. They did not take any "getting used to." (I had been wearing more fashionable, but still practical shoes and my feet were aching.) A few days later I walked 3.5 miles uphill and downhill in them with no problems. Usually, my hip bothers me for the last mile or so, but not with these shoes on! And the walk went faster than usual and was much more fun. I got them in denim and they look great with dark jeans. I am so impressed with them that I am considering taking them on an adventure tour in Costa Rica for hiking. They seem to perform fine on rocks and uneven terrain.
Customer Review: Changed My Life, Ever So Grateful
I have suffered from ball of foot pain for for over 2 years. I have been to the podiatrist and to an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in feet. I have had various physical therapies. Ortho pads have helped especially the "dancer pad" from Hapad, but despite my efforts, walking was something to be avoided, and so many things I once enjoyed doing were now out of the question. I bought these shoes, my first MBT's, about 2 months ago. I wear them with my "dancer pad." I can walk anywhere. I can go on vacation, and walk for hours. I am so thrilled, it is hard to describe. What a pity I did not try these a long time ago! If you have a foot problem, these are sure worth a try. They are not the prettiest shoes, but when I regained the ability to walk in comfort, pretty was not even a factor. Now that I can walk in comfort, I think they are beautiful! I have now also purchased an MBT sandal. I'm back!
It can be stressful and hard to find the right swimwear, since it bares all and you want to look your best. There's a variety of swimwear to choose from, each accentuates and hides different areas. Some varieties include bikinis, tankinis, bandinis, camikini, maillots, and boy legs.
Bikinis were a forbidden boom back in the day, and now they are universally sexy. Sexy side-tie, triangle-pieced bikinis tend to leave little to the imagination. But you can encourage the imagination by adding a few extra curves by going for a top with a built-in push-up bra, or an under wire. To take it down a notch, you can go for a bandini, which is, essentially a bikini with a bandeau top. A bandeau is a straight, strip-like piece of fabric.
Are you a little uncomfortable with a bikini, but not wanting to go with a full one-piece suit? Go for the tankini. The top is longer and leaves only a small part, about 2-4 inches of your stomach exposed. Camikinis are the same as this, except the top looks like a camisole.
If none of those options seem appealing, perhaps you want to leave more to the imagination, you may want to opt for a maillot, which is a basic one-piece suit. Some have come to refer to a cut-out style the "monokini".
To take leaving things to the imagination a step further, you can wear boy legs, which are a long leg resembling really short shorts. Be careful, though, sometimes boy legs make the leg look shorter.
Beyond the basic design of the swim wear you need to choose, you should also consider the color and accessories. Some swimming suits have zippers, some have strings, some have metal hoops, some are blue, some are designed. Choose the design you prefer for you body and then consider color and design.
There are other types of swimwear necessary for the water. Other than just basic body parts, you can also cover your head, ears, and eyes.
Swim caps, placed over the head and ears and reduce water resistance when trying to swim. This is especially handy for competition. Goggles, placed over the eyes protect the delicate balance of the eye from chlorine and other chemicals in pool water, and salt and pollution in natural water, which helps swimmers to see well under the water.
You should assess your body and body type, and your level of confidence in your body and choose your swimwear accordingly. You don't want to pick out a swimming suit that is considered cool because it's cool and end up feeling self-conscious every time you wear it. If you choose your swimwear accordingly, you will be able to focus on having fun rather than worrying.

Customer Review: Comfortable orthopedic workout sandals
I bought these sandals because I have issues with my feet, knees, lower back, and hips. These are very comfortable to walk in while giving a good workout and correcting the way we walk. I would buy another pair and recommend them highly.
Customer Review: Back Pain? GONE !
I've been wearing these shoes for 2 1/2 years. I bought them because I hoped it would help me with my daily back pain (I was taking antiinflamatories on a daily basis). Let me also tell you that I'm active. I'm used to aerobic exercise, and I'm fit. Running is my passion and I didn't want to give it up. It was like this, I would wake up pain free, would run on the treadmil and stretch, run some errands and there she was the back pain. Then she'll visit with me till the end of the day. Of course it kept getting worse, till the point I would get out of bed pain free and after walking around the house a little bit there she was the back pain waiting on me to keep me company for the rest of the day. I was researching on the internet when I bumped into these shoes. Actually I was looking for some Birkenstocks when I found MBTs. I was so desperate to come up with a solution for my back pain that I made my husband drive me to Texas, about 70 miles far from where I live, to Frisco so that I could get them that very same day. I didn't want having to wait for the MTBs being shipped and stuff. They advise you to get started little by little and there is a DVD and a pamphlet that cames along with instructions. Anyway, I put MBTs on and got out of the store, did grocery shopping and the relief was so big I wore the shoes for the rest of the day. Next day I put them on when I woke up (literally) and ever since I've wore it for 2 years straight. Sandals in the summer and sneakers in the winter. I like the sandals best. No more pain, no more pills. Although I am fit, my legs got a little bit tired during the first week or so because you start using muscles that might have never been requested before. In the past 6 months I haven't been wearing them as often, I just walk on them when I exercise on the treadmil (running on them is pretty tough, it's like running on very soft sand) and I also make sure I have them on when cleanning the house and traveling. These sandals are just perfect for traveling. I'm brazilian married to an american, so I visit my country often and a 10 hour flight can get your feet pretty swollen. Studies show that you still maintain your good posture for 2 or 3 days when not wearing the MBTs. Bottom line, they took my back pain away for good. I was told they might loose their cushioning after a year but no. Good quality shoes, I'm still wearing the first pair of sandals and sneakers I bought. As far as muscular improvement I havent' noticed much since I was already fit when I started wearing them. I've seen websites that would advertise the fact that these shoes improve your celulite and things like that. MBT Company is very serious and doesn't mention anything like that. I know that some fancy spas do sell them. MBTs are bulky and heavier than normal shoes but nevertheless very comfortable. When you find something that takes your pain away like I found relief in these pair of shoes, you stick with it.
Cellulite is a form of superficial fat that is found underneath our skin. The area where cellulite is located usually has dimples and looks like orange peel. Cellulite is not really harmful to our body, but much attention has been given to eliminating it because of aesthetic reasons. Having a toned body is very important in the world of fashion and glamour so having cellulite is considered a big no-no. Among the many products that have been proven to help reduce cellulite are MBT shoes, or Masai Barefoot Technology shoes, which are physiological footwear.
"MBTs" were specially designed for reducing cellulite. Their canoe-like curvy soles change according to the wearer's center of gravity. They build up the connective tissues in the hips, legs, and buttocks. By using MBT shoes, blood circulation in the target areas would increase thus strengthening the muscles and toning the whole body. Cellulite is therefore reduced. One's posture and stride would also be enhanced through the use of "MBTs".
MBT shoes are able to do all of these because they simulate the way the Masai Tribe form East Africa walk. The Masai's secret is that they balance their bodies while they are walking barefoot on soft, uneven natural ground, such as on paddies. MBT footwear replicate this through their soles that create an uneven but natural walking surface. In fact, the wearer feels like he/she is walking on sand. Because of this, MBT sneakers are regarded as the world's smallest gym since by using them, you would be able to keep in shape and tone your body, specifically the buttocks, legs, feet, and ankles.
Wearing "MBTs" takes a little time to get used to. It normally takes one to two months of daily use to grow fully adjusted to them. You may then comfortably use them each time and anywhere you want to.
