Shape Up Shoes?

has anyone tried these things?  2 girls at work have them, and they say it is like walking on air, they make you stand up straighter, you have to find your correct center of gravity to be able to walk in them, but they think they are great.  My issue is that I just had bone spur removal on my left heal and need to have the right one done as well.  Does anyone know if I can try these?  At $100 plus dollars a pair... I need more info.

There is a search function on these forums.

This has been covered briefly here.

I've been wearing MBTs for almost three years now, and I LOVE 'EM!  I don't go ANYWHERE without them.  They're particularly easy on the back if you're walking through stores and such with concrete floors.  (And I have degenerated discs, so a "store run" USED to be VERY painful.)

That being said...No I don't think you should try them while you're healing from bone spur surgery.  Wait until you're fully healed and THEN try them.  I paid $179 for mine on eBay and, after almost three years, they look almost NEW.  They are a VERY well-made shoe!
