Best way to try an MBT is to find a dealer in your area, and go try one on. That way you can get a feel for if they will help or not, and the right size too (because the sizes aren’t consistent with normal shoes...at least that’s been our experience.)

Here’s a link to their website and a dealer locator. If you don’t have a dealer in your area, then buy them on zappos.com...that way you get free to and from shipping.

They’re expensive (around $250, but worth it, at least for me.) I have a brace for foot drop that I have to wear with other shoes, but when I wear MBTs I can go without the brace and still walk fairly normal. I just found out our dentist was wearing them too. He’s had foot trouble for years and he says they help.

Thank-you. They have a place in Tulsa - and an added bonus is my 2 grown daughters live in metro Tulsa. (Not that my wife and I need an excuse - we go a couple times a month!) Because my foot is now somewhat deformed, it would probably be best to try it on. The orthopedic surgeon said I may have to go with custom made shoes at some point. I looked into it - trust me $250 really isn’t that expensive if I have to go that route. Anyway, again - Thank you.—JM
