Hi Carole, All MBT shoes styles have a removable insole to help accommodate an orthotic. I would recommend a lace-up shoe as it will provide a more secure fit for your foot while using an orthotic. If you need to discuss any of the MBT shoes please call us at 1-800-720-0572. Feel better!

I am a 73 year old woman and I have had plantar fasciitis for 6 months. I have been wearing prescription orthotics for the past 3 months. What model of MBT shoe do you recommend if I want one pair to wear all of the time? Should I put my prescription orthotics in the MBT shoes?

I am a doctor who specializes in plantar fasciitis, and I had never heard of these MBT shoes until a few months ago when a client suggested them to me. They have worked great for him and I have started recommended them to all my patients. Thanks for the great article.

I have metatarsaliga and am wondering if MBT shoes will help alleviate the pain while walking. Please respond with any comments that may apply.

I have had plantar faciitis and periphreal neuropathy in both feet for over a year. I have tried everything including stretching, orthotics, night splints, injections, physical therapy, and taping. After extensive research on the internet and reading about the MBT’s, I finally got a pair at the end of September. I have been walking on them for about 6 weeks and my foot pain is almost completely gone. They are the first thing that has had any effect. Just found Footwear Etc. and ordered my third pair. They have the best prices and free shipping.

I just bought my MBT sandals a week ago because I was told they will help with my plantar faciitis. Injections to the heel did not help as much as these shoes have! I no longer have heel pain or leg pain and my calf muscles are getting stronger along with my improvement in posture! I am so glad I spent the money on these instead of buying those expensive $400 insoles at the doctor’s!
