Had a pair when I was working in Zurich last time, walked too and from work. Good for walking on cobbled streets and tram lines. Didn't like any of their summer styles. Might look again.

Ah, that's what they are! Saw someone wearing some the other day - had to try not to stare too hard when I was trying to work out whether she had artificial feet!

I wear them for urban walking but gave up using on uneven terrain after going arse over tit a few times while out jogging on grass or not paying attention while walking over uneven surfaces.
Mine are spectacularly ugly but some of the newer styles aren't as bad.
Very good though

I knew someone who wore a pair for a couple of weeks before she gave up. I sometimes used to grab her by the shoulders and rock her back and forth. In hindsight that might have contributed to why she stopped wearing them.

They look like spaz shoes, not heard of 'em before today.
Is it possible to stand still in them?

Brought a pair recently and wished I had bought them earlier. They are fab. Doing an increased amount of walking these days and my feet were giving out. Now they don't the MBT's are superb. They come in a range of styles too so you can get some that are appropriate for the office!
If I wanted to I can even get them on the NHS.....!
