Have owned 4 pairs
This will be my fifth pair of these shoes over the years... (1 black 4 white).
I have plantar fasciitis and these are the only shoes I have found that enable me to walk about a mile per day without pain. I also need "2oz miracle" inserts in all shoes that I wear. I have spent so much money over the years on shoes that seemed comfortable when I first tried them on but after a few hours or definitely after walking any distance in them I was in agony.
I know everyone has different issues with foot pain but for me these are the best shoes I've come across.

cool shoes
Great shoes my son loves them. The only thing is that these shoes run big and being that they don't lace it is better to order conservatively so that they fit properly.

You`ll froget your even wearing this shoe!!!
After years of wearing Nike products I realized I had been wearing shoes that hurt my feet and broke my nails. These shoes are now my favorite shoes and they have the distinction of being the first pair I reach for when extended stays on my feet are expected. They are extremely light and sturdily made. Love the surprise they have given me.

Nothing like these!
I was diagnosed with severe plantar facitis after I fractured my foot. I had been wearing heels and sandles daily for probably 20 years. I never knew you could have these types of injury to your feet. Mostly everybody I speak to were able to heal from it within a month or so and they usually only have it in one foot not both like me. For those of you who don't know PF is very painful to the heels arches and balls of your feet and also affect your calf muscles. I was devastated when the doctor said I had to wear gyn shoes for a while until I heal. Why? Because I could not walk on the bottoms of my feet! They would hurt so bad that I would end up walking on my tip toes or the sides of my feet all day! Gym shoes are not my style AT ALL but I couldn't take it any more.
I had some Nike in the past so I pulled those out. TERRIBLE even with an insert.. I had some brand new Avia that I never wore before. TERRIBLE. My knee would get hot and my feet and legs would hurt. I tried on EZSpirit. Oh my goodness terrible. My therapist suggested a running shoe because it should give more support through the ball of the foot. So I found a actual running store who recommended this shoe based on need stride stance. WOW!!!! I never knew sneakers could feel like this. And I never ever would have spent this kind of money if it was not for comfort - $25 was my max. AMAZING shoe!!
I tried on some other brands just to be sure like new balance asics brooks and nothing could compare to this shoe for comfort support stability and looks. I've had the grey/yellow and just purchase my second paid in silver/pink. I just ordered the TR version for the winter months. Yes. I wear them daily with everthing everywhere church work etc so they have to be somewhat cute and versitile. But the most important things in support and comfort. Although my injury happened a 9-08 I just started wearing them in 3-09. The healing process is slow but sure and these shoes makes a HUGE difference.
I will continue buying the Guide even through all their upgrades because it by far is the shoe for me.
Oh - I can only workout on the bike or rowing machine and now my toes dont go numb and my knees don't heat up. I sneak sometimes and go for a walk which work well too. I used to have to stop every other block to beat on my calves or stretch my feet but not anymore. I just ice them when I get home and do my regular therapeutic stretches. Hopefully I can get back into some real shoes by the beginning of the year.
I know this was long but hopefully it will help someone in the same situation. Be blessed.

I love these!
I bought these about six months ago and LOVE THEM LOVE THEM LOVE THEM. I wish all of my shoes would have the same benefit as these do. They are so so comfortable and durable and I can feel how straight my posture is when I wear them. The only negative thing I have to say about these is that these are walkers not trainers. So I can't really benefit from them when working out. And I do not do a LOT of walking for exercise and I don't always want to wear walking shoes out and about. . . I'm kind of a regular shoe person. But I do wear these as much as I can.
However when trying to find out if there were new trainer MBTs on the market I came across Earth Shoes (no not the WalMart "earth shoes") and recently bought a pair of Earth Shoe Trainers. They also have the negative heel technology (although you MUST order at LEAST a half size larger than you usually wear). I get the same benefit in these when I train! I love these too. And they cost a lot less than the MBTs.
