MBT Women's Panda Shoe

For my size 10 senior overweight feet, a true test for any of my shoes is if they stay comfortable all day at a theme park and especially over cobblestones in Europe. These passed the test at the theme park and I am orering my second pair today. My feet heat up badly in closed sneakers so I wear sandals with no socks in the summer and cotton to wool socks when the weather gets cold or rainy. I have 2 pr of Ganter Aktiv Rolldynamic sandals but they are not available in the USA. The "roll" on Ganter is not as severe as the roll on these MBTs - so I was a bit worried and it took a bit of getting used to the MBT roll (although I think the roll on these Panda sandals is less severe than some other MBTs I have seen). What counts is that my feet and legs held up to all day of walking and even pushing a wheelchair on near cobblestone concrete pavement at the park with no feeling of anything under the very study nonslip soles. Even though I wear them with a slightly loose fit, I haven't fallen off the sandals yet as I am prone to and then twist my ankle as I have with some other sandals. I find these very satisfactory all around and will be wearning them on my next trip to Europe. The multi positioned velcro makes this shoe easy to adjust to your foot as you go from socks to no socks and none of the metal pieces touch your foot so no soreness or rubbing anywhere which I have experienced with some other sandals. I couldn't afford these at the regular price but at a sale price of less than $100 these are a real deal!

These are my third pair of MBT sandals. I love them! I think these run shorter than the Kisumu 1 & 2. My toes come right to the end of the footbed lining, but that actually seemed to work better for me. I think if my foot were any further back, the front strap may have rubbed on my toes. I have wide feet but had no problem with the width. I think the Panda would work well for narrow thru wide feet. Having three points of adjustment is very nice. IMO all MBT's are pretty clunky looking, but these are a bit less so than my Kisumu's. As with my first pair of original Kisumu, i was able to wear these all day from day one - no breaking in period. I have neuromas on both feet and am able to walk forever pain-free in ALL my MBT's (sandals & boots). These are such a dream to wear I'm going to get another pair!

This is another very nice shoe made by MBT. The only thing is it runs too long for me. I tried snugging up all the places on it but it just doesn't work for me. Others said it ran small but that is not the case. I am sorry that I have to send it back. It is a cute shoe. I am giving it 4 stars but if it fit me, I would give it 5.

At 58 years old I have had Plantar Fasciitis since I was in my early 20's. It had gotten a lot worse as time went by and I have spent literally thousands of dollars trying to find shoes that work for me. These MBT's are an answer to my endless quest to find a shoe that is comfortable beyond a few hours. I can wear them all day and all night and still be pain free. I LOVE these shoes. Ugly...well I have purchased uglier! It takes a week or so to get used to the way you walk in these but oh...the relief from pain is worth the small effort. I own three pairs of MBT's now. I hope they never change the formula.

I live in these sandals. They don't look heavy for MBT's, maybe because of the silvery color. They fit true to size. MBT's in general take the stress of the knees and hip joints and the rolling bottom gives you an extra little "push" when you are walking. These don't have as much "roll" and are not as steep as some of the other MBT styles, but they are just as easy to wear. They are adjustable at three velcro straps so you can get your best fit. If they had more in my size, I'd buy them. I wear a 7.5 and the 38 1/3 fits perfectly.

I can wear only MBT shoes and feel so grateful to have found shoes that allow me to take long walks with my dogs again. However, as much as I like the more attractive styles that have come out this past year, they are too narrow and lack the support the original styles provided for me.

I returned the shoes as they were too large and felt like a wide width. You cannot wear sandals that are too big. Otherwise perfect condition.

I ADORE MBT shoes. This is my second pair. The first was a different stylel.They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had.I will never wear anything else. We travel to Europe a lot and there is a lot of walking. These shoes are not only comfortable, they exercise my legs and feet, very gently. And...they look really nice.
