MBT Men''s Kisumu Sandal

I had never before spent anywhere near this kind of money on a shoe.But I had plantar fasciitis very badly for 3 yearsto the point that when we went shopping my husband would drop me off at the door of the store I would get what I needed and leave, and be almost in tears by the time I left.At work I never wanted to get up from my desk.I had tried all the exercises and everything I could to get rid of the pain, but it just persisted.

We went to the mall one day, having to go by the shoe store to get to where we were going and I saw these.I didn''t believe they would really help, but I had heard of them before, so I asked to try them on.From the first moment I put them on, I could walk without pain.I never took them off.I wore them out of the store, and we walked all over the mall that day.They told me I should break them in slowly, but I personally never noticed any of the problems others have noted.I have not worn anything else since, and now own 4 pairs.I will never be without my MBT''s.The days of crying when I got up in the middle of the night are gone.My plantar fasciitis was gone within a couple of weeks of buying the MBT''s, and has never returned.The only time I get let off at the door anymore is if it''s raining hard.I''ve started walking for recreation again, and have not had any problems at all -as long as I wear my MBT''s.

Updated Review:

I was a bit hasty in my previous review.It turns out that due to some confusion between Amazon''s ordering system and the seller''s system what I received was actually a woman''s US size 9.Shoemania quickly and politely corrected the problem, emailing me a prepaid return label and sent off another in the correct size.Though they forgot to honor the 2-day shipping agreement they promptly credited me the price difference.I''ve had a few weeks to try these sandals now and I like them very much.I bought them to replace my beloved Mephistos which I had for years and had worn threadbare.I''m diabetic and have problems wearing most other tighter fitting shoes so sandals tend to be my footwear of choice.

These sandals do take some getting use to they''re a lot like walking on cushy rockers.This makes it more comfortable to walk as the sandals rock forward with you in natural walking motion.It is possible, however, to accidentally rock backwards far enough to fall backwards, so some care is necessary.They are comfortable enough to wear all day and on extended walking tours.One nit is that the strap that goes across the instep tends to push into your foot causing a little discomfort.This is unavoidable as a result of the walking/rocking motion that is the point of the design.Another nit is that the clips that secure the straps are a bit small and they''re a little difficult to maneuver.Overall, though, they are an excellent product well made.They still don''t beat my beloved Mephistos, but they are 2/3 the price and a fine replacement.

Previous Review:

I wish I could comment on this sandal for its comfort and ergonomic design, but I am unable to squeeze into this very expensive miniature to be able to tell.When I opened the box I immediately noticed the size problem and checked the markings on the heel strap European size 40 1/3, US size 9.5.Puzzled, as the sandals are significantly smaller than my other size 9.5 shoes, I took them to my friend at Nordstrom who measured them with his spiffy meter.European size 38.5 / US size 8.That seems more like it.Why such a significant difference?Have they no quality control?For as expensive as these sandals were I expect much better.

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I like the side clips. Very easy to put on and take off. I did have a little trouble getting used to the rounded soles but all is well now.

these are the 3rd pair of MBT I''ve had. The 1st finally gave up the ghost after several years. Instantly comfortable, these are the only brand of shoes I can wear for 14hrs/day. Ihave tried many brands and these are it. Easy to none maintenance. I did order these rather than the nubuck that tends to collect dust. You wont regret theses sandals or MBTshoes.
