MBT shoes
Anyone have these? do you think they are "safe" to wear while pregnant? probably a stupid question I know but they seem to be more than regular sneakers.
TIA

Re: MBT shoes
I wouldn't call them "unsafe" but I know that being pg causes a lot of women to be off balance and I wouldn't want to risk being any more off balance than I already am! JMO

Re: MBT shoes
True - although I wore heels all through my last pregnancy! do you have them? I really like them and am considering getting them for after the baby is born.

Re: MBT shoes
I haven't tried the MBT shoes while pregnant but I did try them when I wasn't. I personally didn't find them very comfortable. They kind of reminded me of those platform sneakers from like a decade ago.
I have a few friends (not pregnant) who swear by them.

Re: MBT shoes
Those are adorable. But they look like they would rock back and forth.

I think those are hideous looking - 
but what do they do re: getting in shape??? - As far as being off balance in them or 'safe' for a pregnant woman..........I don't see anything wrong w/ them ???? -
But then again, you're talking to someone who at 29 weeks, still refuses to give up the 4" heels ........

Re: MBT shoes
See the height doesnt bother me as I wear heels throughout my pregnancy too - they are supposed to make your core muscles work better so you improve your posture and they are also supposed to give your calves a workout. I just wonder about any side effects they might have like putting any undue pressure on my core muscles or aggravating my sciatic nerve etc.....

Re: MBT shoes
I have them and swear by them....
I wore them before and really really noticed a change....
The thing now is that I am nervous to wear them....
I asked my doc and he said he preferred me to wear them indoors now and after the baby... I can start again....
He said if it had been summer or fall no problem... but because it can be icey....
They are great....

I don't own a pair but I have tried them on several times in the store. Ive been wearing heels so far in my pregnancy but I am finding it more scary with the weather the way that it is. I would say that if you were going to wear them inside then it should be fine. Ultimately, I think you should print out a pic and maybe a description and bring to your Doc and let him/her have the ultimate say.

I've seen them sold at Bliss Spa and a few shoe stores in the UES.
They are supposed to give your whole lower body a good workout. They are supposed to tighten up your butt and calves.
