I wear my MBT shoes and sandals and love them. Admittedly, I'm not man enough to wear them for long distance as they kick my ass (my calves, actually).
On my first week here, my legs were killing me. Couple of reasons were 1) I wasn't used to walking being a fat and out of shape person from USA. 2) My MBTs!!! I finally broke down, went and bought a pair of Rockports. It made a huge difference in my ability to walk from and to MRT station.
Now I can walk pretty much everywhere and wear MBTs for the most part unless I know I'm going to hitting the pavement a lot in which case, I switch to my flat bottom shoes.
