My sister went to buy some M.B.T shoes today and the assistant said that they were not only good for backache but for people who have Parkinson's.She did not know that my sister was related to a PWP and it was a throw away comment..Has anybody had any experience with these shoes?

I just looked up the MBT shoes. I can see why they would be good for us. The most difficult places of all to walk for many of us is on a perfectly level and smooth expanse. Steps, uneven paths, bumps and rough surfaces keep us going. But - the MBT shoes are very expensive - and quite lumpy!
They would look fine on men. |

What does MBT stand for and why are they "lumpy"? The shoes I like best are my little summer Keds. They are light, have a semi stretchy canvas top and don't catch on things when I'm walking. They are secure on my feet and the next best thing to bare feet....oh ya -and their cheap! I used to love flip flops but this last year I found them a lot of work to walk in.

If you google MBT shoes you will see what I mean, Rosebud. I'd never seen them before either. I live in Birkenstocks, not very elegant, but I've got PD toes, so what can you do........ I'd probably be really comfortable in a pair of MBTs.

Hubby has real problems with shoes and parky toes as well, took a while to talk him into them due to the strange looks but he can wear Crocs for hours dont kn ow if there similar as I cant seem to find the others but dr.s and nuurses all wear them here in canada and they make a huge difference plus pretty cheap for shoes (actually a sandal type of thing)

Wow, Crocks are cheap! I'm going to try them on and see if I can walk in them. They sound amazingly comfortable. When I've seen them on people I've always assumed they were made of rubber. They're fun. I've yet to find a shoe that doesn't hurt my toes.
