Best place to buy MBTs & did carriemumsnet sort out if hers were the right size?

[TheBlonde]

I have been toying with the idea of buying MBTs

Where is best to buy?
I see John Lewis are selling them now and know Sweaty Betty does them

I did an archive search and didn't want to end up blistered like carrie as I blister easily....

weird trainers that are supposed to make you walk 'better'

I guess West Ken must have changed a lot, is it next door to Chicken Cottage?

John Lewis also have some kind of pilates shoe that looks like an MBT rip off

ebay. get your proper size sorted from a fitter
then buy off ebay

they have helped my recovery from back pain so much.
My thighs were already great [she lied]

hanaflower - I used to live there long long ago

piffle - good tip on the ebay, thanks

I have to second the blister issue. I had to give mine away as they blistered my feet so badly. I think they might have been slightly too big though (so slipping at the heel and causing blister?).

I got mine from ebay - from USA - paid about £65 for a brand new pair from a shop - I risked the sizes and struck lucky - I got 38 and a third - and I am usually a 5 to 5 and ahalf and they fit perfectly - but I second the advise about finding out your size first. Also different MBTs fit differently !

They are fabulous though - really comfy and you can feel your legs toning up - am trying to work out how I can wear mine more at work !!

blisters don't sound good margoandjerry
