The Mary Jane is a timeless classic shoe design that has been a part of just about every shoe collection and company that I have ever encountered.  They are at once sweet and sophisticated, stylish and practical, fun and professional.  The Mary Jane really is a great shoe style that can cross every design personality – sporty, fresh, young, modern, traditional, and professional.  It is because of the Mary Janes’ versatility that I was so happy to see that MBT made not just one style of Mary Jane but several. 

People who suffer from chronic back pain know how it can impact every aspect of your life – activities, work, relationships, even sleep.  I have back pain, chronic back pain, and I have tried just about everything out there to relieve the pain and improve the strength and support of my back.  I mostly have disappointing results.  Relief is temporary; the pain comes back; medications don’t last.  So when I was told that a funny-looking shoe could help, I was skeptical.  It is a just a shoe after all.  Right?  Wrong.

Sure, you've heard of those silly MBT shoes: shoes with curved soles, designed to help you lose weight and straighten your posture simply by carrying out your daily, casual walking. Sounds like the latest fad, right? You might be surprised to hear about the science and engineering behind these wacky walkers - as it turns out, there's a lot more than meets the eye.

In fact, we're going so far as to venture that you haven't heard any of these ten facts about MBT shoes:

MBT sandals are by far the most fun shoes in the MBT collection.  The open, sporty look to them gives the unique style of the MBT sandal a fun and fresh look.  If you don’t think you’ve ever seen an MBT sandal, try to imagine a sandal mounted on a thick, cushioned, curved sole.  While this minimizes the design concept and function of an MBT sandal, if you think hard enough, you realize, you’ve seen these and likely even wondered what they are all about.  Well, look no further, MBT sandals look different, but understanding the reasons why they are designed that way will make you jump up and rush to get a pair.  (I know

I am not here to overcomplicate something that should be simple – getting the right size shoe.  But...MBT shoes are not just any shoe.  They fit and feel differently, and they are designed to be worn differently, with different results.  That is a lot of difference.  So getting the right size may need a little more explaining.

Remember – To get the most out of MBT technology and design, the shoe must fit the right way.  Proper function demands proper fit.

There is no doubt that MBT shoes are bar none the most unique shoes I have ever owned.  To be honest, I resisted checking them out for a while because I was like, come on, do I really need to learn how to wear shoes?  I need a walk-through to be able to walk in them?  And, let’s face it, they look pretty funky.  So why do they fly out of the stockrooms of retailers?

Because MBT shoes for women are unbelievably wearable and comfortable, and the look of them is quirky, whimsical, and undeniably unique.
