Has anyone tried MBTs?
I am wondering what other people think of them. I am especially interested in finding out about any improvement in back problems.
EditL: Ignore me. I have just realised there is another thread on these further down.

My brother has a pair of these MBTs and says they are absolutely great. They stopped his back and neck pain within a week.
They seem to roll the foot when walking, rather than stamp.
He reckons they are worth the price“Official Company Representative

Didn't do anything for me. But then I already exercise quite alot and do yoga, maybe the MBTs just weren't able to compete and this is why they felt like they made no difference.
But one thing I did get were blisters on my heel. I thought they were just breaking in, but after 2 months they were still forming. I ended up with two pairs of thick sports socks on, and blister plasters- and still got blisters! Took them back to SweatyBetty who had fitted me in them to find that there are apparently some models with firmer backs on them, you can tell this by squeezing the back of the shoe inwards to see. If it feels very firm, it WONT give over time- its made with plastic, not leather, so will NOT losen and will NOT stop causing me blisters! Its so annoying- they are too heavy to sell on ebay and too blood stained to sell on ebay!
Be prepared to try them on first. Wear them indoors for a week as the stiffness that caused my blisters did not appear for a week, and if they appear painful on your heels or feet (not your legs- its supposed to be a little sore on your legs- although mine weren't) take 'em back! Get another pair!0
