Sketcher's Shape ups vs MBT

I really liked the way the Sketchers felt when I tried them on, great arch support. The price was a little high and the style I wanted wasn't in my size. I went to Zappos.com to buy the pair I wanted and started reading the testimonials and a couple people recommended the MBT, and their shoes have great ratings. Does anybody own either? They are both pricey, especially the MBT, but I have plantar fasciitis, so I usually buy Danskos, you know how expensive those are.

Last year I broke my leg. When I got out of my cast, my therapist, (and the orthopaedist) recommeded the MBT's. I went to the website Walkers Warehouse and bought a pair. I now have 3 pairs, and absolutely love them. I am a nurse and wear them to work. They are great. I don't know about the sketchers cause they are new and I haven't tried them. To save money, I ordered discontinued models they offered. The sizes are true and if it says order 1 size smaller than do, cause they are right. Good luck, nd let me know if you try the sketchers, how they are.

Danskos actually GAVE me plantar fasciitis! Well, that and going barefoot in between.

I think if you like the shoes that's fine, but there is no way they actually make you burn more calories like Sketcher's claims.
