I have several comments. Although I like the rocker soles of these shoes, the sole is not rigid enough to make the rocker truly reduce forefoot pressures. Second, the heel material is so soft, that a pronating foot will not get the medial support it needs. The soft heel material is there to simulate soft walking surfaces, like sand. the instable heel of the shoe forces foot and leg muscles to work to stabilize itself, hence the shoe is now called a "fatburner" My advice, save yourself the $200+ dollars and get yourself a pair of good orthotics. MBT shoes are a gimmick. Sincerely, Spencer Weisbond, C.Ped. |
