“…MBTs act as training equipment every step of the way. Whether you are shopping, working or just puttering around the house, MBT physiological footwear trains and tones muscles, burns calories and protects joints…”

Jim, Laura, are you back from Deutschland? Thx for the tip – I’ll check out http://www.merrell.com/
I have spoke to several doctors about the design and they believe it is a great idea and sound in concept. It completely removes the impact from the lower spine while walking. I love mine and any amount of money is OK if it does what it says it is supposed to do. I went with one pair as an experiment and now have two pairs; one for dress and one for casual walking.
