So, how are my MBT sandals working out since I got them in mid-June?
They continue to be comfortable and a benefit to posture. Surprisingly, they also make good swing dancing footwear.
I had hoped that once they trained me to minimize heel strike this walking habit would transfer to when I wear other shoes. This took two months, but has definitely happened. (From what I have read, the Skechers Shape-Ups and Reebok EasyTones are less effective at training people to walk with minimal heel strike.)
They are sometimes advertised as helping weight loss as well as posture, but I have not noticed any difference with how much exercise it is to walk while wearing them. Standing is more fun because I can rock slightly.
I did find out that I could have saved quite a bit of money by shopping at FootwearEtc, where the MBTs cost only what the Shape-Ups and EasyTones normally cost.
Finally, being slightly taller has been interesting. For example, as someone slightly below average male height, I had never realized that my bathroom counter was designed for someone an inch or two taller than me.
