Go stylishly retro and combine the best of street fashion and function with the timeless MBT 1997 Classic, great for fitness walking or everyday wear.
UPPER is made of textile and genuine cow suede leather
FOOTBED is mesh for breathability and removable for custom fit
OUTSOLE is made of MBT High Abrasion Rubber
MBT LEVEL 3 ROCKER which generates an increased level of rock to provide extra cushioning and maximum muscle activation.
ROCKER BOTTOM SHOE – From the point your heal first hits the ground until your toes leave it, the curved sole of the MBT rocker shoe matches the natural movement of your foot while giving the same stability as a traditional walking shoe. The gentle roll promotes a natural cushioning to your feet and the angle of the PivotAxis, critical to the Pivot Strike location at the midfoot, provides the ideal foot striking platform to transition into propulsion or a forward movement while enhancing support.
TECHNOLOGY IN THE SHOE – MBT’s proprietary SensorTechnology in the heel produces a natural cushioning required by a short or long distance walker. The PivotAxis Technology promotes balance and a natural movement that with each stride activates muscles required for good posture. The lasting board and engineered shank are specially developed for the MBT sole construction which provides comfort & support.
CREATED WITH STABILITY IN MIND – The stability of the MBT shoe is identical to any high-quality walking shoe and the only roll you feel is from your heal to your toes. There is no side to side roll so run or walk with confidence. The Tri-density Midsole features extensive cushioning that allows for a better ride.

This shoe is made in European Sizes which do not have an even correlation to US sizes. It is highly recommended that you measure your foot in centimeters using the instructions below to determine the best shoe size for your feet.
This shoe tends to run small. If you border-line between sizes and your measurement is not exact in the chart, we recommend selecting the next size up which tends to be a size larger than you normally wear.
Wear the type of socks you'll wear with your shoes and measure feet in the afternoon (feet typically swell during the day). Distribute weight evenly before measuring.
