I have 2 pairs of MBT shoes, one pair of trainer style, and a pair for work. I have had the first pair for 2 and half years, very comfortable and wear them most days. When my work shoes needed changing I decided to get a pair to wear at work and have not regretted it. Very comfortable to wear, my feet never feel tired or 'throbbing' at the end of a busy day as they did with ordinary shoes. The shoes encourage you to stand up straight and walk tall, as opposed to leaning forward when walking in ordinary shoes (me anyway). Slight problem with standing still, if you are looking skywards for the ISS, or if you have treated yourself to a very nice G+Tand just stargazing
