Own a pair of MBTs but don’t wear them?

Posted by ProjectTribe on April 26, 2007

Have you/do you own a pair of MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) Footwear but rarely use them? I want to hear your thoughts!

I am conducting research for a footwear project and I am reaching out to customers who have owned MBTs, but have discontinued/limited their use of the shoes to once every 6 months or less. 

Specifically I am interested in learning about why you discontinued/limited your use of your MBTs and how your expectations of MBTs differed from your experience.

If you would be willing to talk to me for ~20 minutes before Tuesday, May 1, I can offer you a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.com or a donation to charity for compensation. 

If you are interested in speaking to me, please email me at footwear@parthenon.com to set up a time. ~ Katherine

Shoeaholicism is Hereditary

Posted by kim on

I decided I need to make a pact that if I buy a new pair of shoes, I should get rid of a different pair so that my closet does not runneth over with shoes. Maybe I’ll start that next week.  Or the week after.  Here’s the shoes I bought this week while in Denver…

Tommy Hilfiger Brown Slides

Aerosoles Stretch Slides

Of course, my daughters, who all inherited my shoeaholicism, tend to get jealous when I buy only myself new shoes, so I brought them home each a new pair as well… (and the best part is that the I can fit into the twins’ sizes!)
