    So am I the only guy wearing these? They aint pretty but I've fallen arches and am told they'll help with that and posture etc.

    I've only seen woman wearing them and even though they are made for guys I'm beginning to expect weird looks.

    Oh, their sales are that bad eh?!

    Personally, I don't wear them (and I don't really like them) but if you're the only person wearing them, don't worry about it!You may start a trend :D
    Or people with the need for them will become aware of their existence.

    Somehow I dont think they'll take off as a fashion "must have" but its looking like i'm the only bloke wearing these around dublin. Everytime I go outside I'm looking at guys feet!

    Lol, now studying strangers feet will definately get ya weird looks!

    They may not take off as a fashion must have, but theres a lot of people who enjoy walking whether it be hill walking, walking their dogs or just walking to work/college who such shoes would benefit. I wouldn't be surprised if they did start selling quite well tbh, maybe not as a fashion item but they do serve for practical use well.

    I'm just having a flick around the website at the moment, a lot of their casual shoes look similar to a lot of shoes that are for sale in shoe stores, except they have a massive sole. Personally they don't cater to my taste, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did to others. The sole might put people off though. I guess time will tell!

    6th - can't you affix a swoosh stripe to the side so you don't stand out in Tallaght?* :D

    My wife has them and they look a bit clunky. Are the fella ones different.?





    *Am originally from Tallaght so allowed to make jokes :D

    MBT's are a con, there is no independent proof that they work. Don't waste your money.
