The Lasting Board binds the upper and lower parts of MBTs together.
The Shank provides firmness to the sole and also ensures the foot’s natural rolling movement and optimizes pressure distribution over the whole sole.
The PU Midsole with Pivot triggers an active rolling movement and exercises a large number of stabilizing muscles throughout the entire body when walking or standing.
The Masai Sensor creates natural instability, to which the body responds with increased muscle activity.
The rubber Outsole protects the Midsole.

Best of MBT! Wow, what a difference the Lami Red Shoes makes in walking comfort and style. First, the sole is the newer release, more flat, which makes these MBTs as close to "normal" shoes as you can get. I bought the Lami Red Shoes on a recommendation who is a dentist and owns 11 pairs! She said the easy on/off feature, the more stylish looks, and the softer sole (than the older MBTs) make the Lami Red Shoes her favorite.

These shoes are really comfortable! They're cushy, and at the end of the day my foot and ankle is tired, but not sore. I've also noticed that the first steps in the morning aren't painful (like they used to be). I did have to buy a half-size bigger than I normally wear. They run small. They're also look a bit clumsy (actually, they're flat-out ugly, and look like old lady shoes), but they feel good enough that I wear them anyway. Since my feet are happiest when I wear these shoes about half a day. I have another (normal) pair of shoes so I try to wear these around the house.

I have the most defective feet and have always had trouble finding shoes that I can wear all day. At 64, I have given up on looks and style and strictly go for comfort! For several years, I have worn the MBT sandal for longs periods on concrete floors, malls, airports, even in winter. The rocking sole prevents direct pressure on any part of my foot. Too, I can spread my toes. I wanted an enclosed shoe for winter and tried different styles of MBT. Although the company states that all styles are made on the same last, the MBT Lami Red Shoes has more room in the toe box, and I can still flex my toes. None of the styles had much arch support, but with the rocking motion, that isn't much of an issue. I may try an insert. I can walk all day in this shoe, which is great. And driving in the shoe is no problem. But like the Lami Red Shoes, I have problems on a carpeted surface. U-turns aren't that easy! Due to other reviews, I ordered half size up and even with heavy this shoe fits well.

About six years ago, I bought a pair of MBTs (the higher version of the sports shoe) and fell in love with them. It is finally time to replace them and I chose the sports lows. While it's a nice shoe, and the fit was true (I wear a 7 and size 37 fit perfectly), the heel slips. Thicker socks did not help, so I sent them back. I'm trying a different model now. Much thanks to Zappos for being so awesome about exchanges!

Just purchased this shoe and so far it is the best. I have a leg circulation problem and this shoe is better then taking med. The price is a little steep.
