Yes, I do train with them. I’ll give you my experience with them. I have participated in 6 Walks. The 1st few years, I went the walking shoes route. I never had blisters while training but got blisters on every Walk.

I tried the MBT closed shoes (on my 4th Walk). They worked great in terms of blisters – none for the 1st time! But I lost both big toenails from the constant sidewalk pounding. For Walks 5 & 6 I switched to the MBT sandals and I absolutely love them! I will never go back to anything else. I’ve seen the Sketcher’s, but for me, the key is no closed shoes. I had experts fit me every year but it wasn’t until I switched to the sandals that I had no blisters & kept all my toenails!

Good luck in whatever route you go. Which Walk are you participating in? Thanks for dropping by & Walk on!

What is up with that?! Okay, so you’re the second 3 Day walker that I’ve heard mention the MBT’s. I was considering getting a pair of the similar Skecher’s Shape Ups, but can’t imagine walking 60 miles with that extra weight. Do you just use yours for training?
