I’d wear them all around Rome and show those sad, sad tourists riding around on Segways what they’re missing. Which is a hell of a lot.
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:58 am
I can’t think of anything really clever right now (hey, I’ve been up for a couple hours and it’s 5 am…ugh!). I would like them to speed past all the slow undergrads on campus and blow them away
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:02 am
I’d just wear them with pride - cause you know people will look! And do my signature short - but intense - workouts, focused (i.e., no chit chat or sitting around in the gym). One guy thought I was in the military, doing my pushups and pullups!
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:24 am
Cool, this almost beats pie!
I would most enjoy having MBTs on my weekend errand trips, I think. ::imagines self zipping around Target, proving that shopping IS exercise::
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:30 am
Love your poetry!
You are so talented.
Too bad Canadians can’t win.
~~sigh~~
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:32 am
These would make the perfect weekend shoes! Just putting them on will make me want to walk around more.
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:34 am
Oooh those things sound so so cool.
I would rock them out by traveling the world with them and wearing them everywhere. For shock value, to spread the awesomeness that is those crazy shoes, and to have fun and gain the health benefits!
(But of course don’t enter me. I’m going to be setting up my own US address one of these days… hehe).
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:39 am
I lobbied I begged.
WORLDWIDE GIVE? I did ask.
UH UH. So sorry.
That’s a pain in the
assbutt.(ok, Im paraphrasing for my rhyme…but you get the idea)
M.
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:53 am
I live in Sweden, and I already have a pair. I tend to get sore if I wear them all day, so I wear them for quick (less than 2 hours) walks or shopping excursions. They’re great, but fug…:-)
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:09 am
I’d have to wear them to school so all the kids can gossip about Champagne’s ugly shoes. “OMG! - Did you see…? What is she thinking…Ewwwww…Oh, I know….Right?”
And at the gym I’d actually were them with my sweat pants that say “Bad Girl” across the butt. And I’d grunt, sweat, and exhale extra just for effect.
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:10 am
i’d wear them with my “I love my MBT’s” t-shirt that I won (HERE!) and be able to explain what the shirt meant by pointing people’s attention AWAY from the ta-ta’s and down to my feeties
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:19 am
Those MBTs I would not wear
I guess for looks? I really care.
Because it’s early I will not swear
but…
Sweetie, them things is FUGLY!
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:20 am
Id wear them around the office–because that’s the way I roll.
because they roll right?
or balance?
because that’s the way I balance.
Chris
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:42 am
I would have to wear them to church… you pray better when you are comfy, right? Isn’t that what God would want? Then I would wear them on a kick-butt mountain bike ride. Sweet!!!
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:57 am
On Sunday we walk
To the place of God
As we talk
Just the kids and me
And my new MBTs
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:57 am
I love rocking chairs, so I imagine I would just stand there in grocery store lines etc rocking back and forth and back and forth until I got too careless and went wobble wobble whoa-whoa-whoa- ACCCk!-splat.
And tho I’d love to win some, I’m thinking no matter how Random your selection process was, if I came up the winner the PR firms might be a tad suspicious. So I’ll let you skip on by this entry.
I can’t believe you manage to compose a giveaway post in rhyme! That rocks even more than the shoes!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:12 am
MBT anti-shoes - I so need to google them.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:14 am
You are awesome. So glad I had time to check in with you today. I’d wear them 24/7 as phys ed and all day as a mommy! Been salivating over those shoes since I saw them here!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:19 am
LMAO…okay, don’t enter me, because I can’t even walk without tripping in NORMAL shoes, I’d break my neck in these.
But I did want to say I think it’s so super-cool that you’ve talked them into a giveaway! Good luck, all you Rebels For a Cause! (The cause, of course, being health and fitness.)
V.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:21 am
I’d like to win
But I’m a Canuck
How do I feel about that?
Well, ……..that’s luck.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:23 am
your comments are completely why Im thankful to the random number generator—-I could never pick.
next? valerie you are lucky Im not picking as I mightcould wanna give em to you NOT so you could breaketh yer neck but so you could model for us the living version of our BABY STEPS TO SUCCESS guest post from yesterday.
and how I talked em into a give? that’s a post for tuesday.
(ooh. foreshadowing. see? I wasnt an english major for nothing)
M.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:24 am
I would definitely wear them to drop off / pick up at the kids school. there’s nothing like that going on at the school, so it would be a great conversation starter!
I wish I could rhyme, but alas, I cannot.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:31 am
I am known by many of the people along the beach where I run almost daily. They first noticed me because of the lengths of my runs. Then they also noticed that I am always wearing some new running material, shoes, or playing with some new gadget. I am often stopped and asked about what I am trying out. I guess you could say that many of the other runners and walkers see me as a geeky runner. What they don’t realize is that I often learn about great new stuff from them and then simply try it out as time permits.
I’ve heard about the MBTs and even looked at them at the shoe store but haven’t gotten around to actually buying a pair.
If I won this pair, I would wear them to the beach, enjoy their benefits and undoubtedly get stopped and have some more great conversations.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:34 am
I’d wear them in and around town, touring the DC monument and running errands. I’m sorry, I’m kind of partial to my particular running shoe, I’ve had such good luck with it.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:39 am
I would wear my funny MBT’s when I run to vote (my heart, not some pollitical party line). I would be the only Grammy with such in-your-face shoesies.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:42 am
i’d wear them around my small southern georgia town (where they probably won’t hear about these for another 5 yrs or so)— i love shocking the people around here
have a wonderful day!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:43 am
Damn States-only giveaway! I might tape tennis balls to my feet and see if that helps my shockingly bad core stability instead…. (if only my mum wasn’t such a small-footed short-arse, I could steal her Fitflops!)
TA x
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:44 am
I’d love to have a pair of these ugly bad boys. I’ve heard such wonderful things about them, but I’m unlikely to justify spending that kind of moola on something just for myself.
I promise this - if I do win them, I will become an outspoken evangelist for MBT’s. Converting others like myself, that they deserve to splurge on something like this. And hopefully I’ll be rockin’ the sweet booty to back this up!
Thanks for the chance to win Miz!!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:47 am
ooooh TA! Do that.
*Make Oprah a pair.
*Send Gayle another pair as a treat.
*Make yer MBT knockoff millions.
Um, can I get a giveaway for my site please?
M.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:49 am
The people in my subdivision already think I’m a little “off”-I walk my little 5 lb Yorkie eveyday as he barks the whole way at the big dogs(he loves it!) and I run at strange hours (night shifter on her day off=insomnia,might as well go for a run!) So these quirky little shoes might give them more evidence. Besides,it will definitely increase the cool factor for me and my yorkie’s walks(as if we weren’t cool enough already!)
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:54 am
If I win these totally freakin cool shoes, I will stand upon the highest tower on the tallest mountain and shout to the masses the glory which is MBT.
Yeah, they’re THAT cool.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:55 am
I want a hot pair of buns… and I think the MBTs would help me get what I want by wearing them to the office and getting weird looks from the local yokels who work in the main office as well as my students. Talk about individuality… MBTs and some black dress pants. HOTNESS.
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
Alas, I have a sad old pair of Simple sneakers that just don’t cut it. I’d wear the MBTs to walk the dog, I’d wear them when I do aerobics, I’d wear them to run errands. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have em.
My workout routine these days revolves around dog walking, gardening (it can be HARD WORK) and I workout with FIt TV in my living room - mixing it up with cardio, weights, tae bo, etc. Happy Friday!
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:04 am
Ooh - Good Giveaway!! Just yesterday I wore my new triple fringed moccasins around town and got a lot done because I was so excited to have such fancy feet that I kept thinking of more places I needed to go. SO - I can only imagine how much I’d get done if I was rockin’ the MBT’s. I’m thinking of also putting Obama Biden stickers on the back (shoe bumper stickers of some sort?) so that when people are watching my feet with wonder - they can also be sent a subtle political message.
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:13 am
Quirky is what quirky does! Am I the only quirky person that finds saying quirky is quirky?
Possibly not in this club
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:16 am
I would wear them to work in the ER for 12+ hour shifts on my feet with (if it’s a slower day) one eight- to ten-minute break all day. These old dogs get so tired by the end of a shift they’re barkin’!
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:22 am
I think the shoes are so ugly that they are adorable! I love stuff like that! I would wear them everywhere in the hopes that they would force some of the klutziness out of me and help tighten up my legs.
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:24 am
Awesome! I would love a pair! I would wear them on my doggie walks so I can save my workout shoes for indoors. I can’t afford to buy two pair of workout shoes, so these would be great!
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:26 am
I am in some serious need of some good non-running shoes. I tend to kick it in Converses when I’m not running, and I really think my knees are starting to say no to the flat boards that are those shoes. I would totally love to rock some MBT’s instead!
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:26 am
Oh, this one is easy…I’d simply don them with the funkiest of patterned opaque tights, decidedly feminine attire, a hand-knitted scarf (incorporating the matching colors) around my neck and MAKE them a total fashion statement while I smiled inwardly at the crazy people stuffing their rectangular feet in triangular, 3 inch-high shoes! Go me….and my great calves, thankful back, smiling arches and er, toned backside!
I’ll even send a photo if I win!
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:28 am
I like the sandals. I do believe I would paint my toenails purple and take them out to show them off!
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 am
The shoes, they are cute
I wouldn’t give them the boot
And yet
It’s not me they need to suit
There’s a man in my life
And I’m a good wife
I bet
Who wishes not to cause strife
My man needs new shoes
So if I win, I don’t lose
Don’t fret
He’ll put ‘em to use
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:33 am
I’ve been a reader…but the thought of winning MBTs compels me to post! Those shoes are wild and I need them. I’m a runner recovering from a stress fracture
I’d wear them to do housework (anything that turns mopping into a better workout is cool) and all around the town! Also, my kids would LOVE them and my hubby would HATE them….just adds to the fun, doncha think?
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:42 am
Does working out in a tutu and tights at age 32 qualify me as “quirky”? If not, how about the fact that I sing the lyrics to Shoop by Salt n Pepa in my head to get through a touch workout? (really - I do!)
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:44 am
I work in a neurosurgery office and I am up and down and walking around all day long to get my job done. So I would wear them to work and show the docs how proficient they make me. Then I would suggest that getting them for the whole office would be a great investment.
Jenn
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:45 am
Hmm. Well, I’ll wear them out to work out and walk and have fun — I’ll rebel by being out there and active and having fun and holding my head high even though I’m still overweight and by some standards should be hiding at home until I’m “presentable.”
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:52 am
I’d weebl my wobble alllll day long - and no never mind strange looks at the office!
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:56 am
I’d wear them to a cocktail party and tell everyone they’re the latest Manolo Blahniks. What do they know
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:57 am
I think I’d wear them running errands and do my impersonation of a weeble wobble while I decided between options. And possibly out to bars, so I could deliberately wobble around and scare the bartender.
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:59 am
hmmm….well I would definitely wear them on Nov 4th while I am VOTING….maybe decorate with tiny Obama stickers? I would also wear them on the two day Avon walk next May - maybe won’t have to decorate my feet with a million bandages again!
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:03 am
Gah! Another song to be stuck in my head!
I would SO wear these to the playground and not even care if that group of snooty moms laughs. Why do some moms think the playground is a good place to form a clique? Rhetorical question.
This is an awesome giveaway!
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:08 am
I could rock those shoes to ‘lectric Avenue.
and then I’d take it higher.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 am
I would love to wear them on my walks, but since i know i can’t win i’d love to be able to pick someone else to get them ;_)
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:12 am
I would wear these to play outside with my kids. How are they at climbing trees? That’s all my boys want to do these days!
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 am
good GOSH you guys kill me.
and is it sad that this:
Workin’ so hard like a soldier
Can’t afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I’m a warrior
Can’t get food for the king….
Im thumbtyping from memory, Carrie?
did you MEAN to slip the WARRIOR in there for subliminal messaging? I know you did
and I also have to OUT myself.
from the SHALLOWS (shout out to the amazing martha beck!) or not.
I have a pic on my VISION BOARD of a pair of MBTS & a pic of The Great & Mighty Oprah.
on top of each other.
symbolizing the fact that she’s gonna happen upon MizFit for the first time today and decide (alltogethernow):
You get a pair! and You get a pair! and YOU GET A PAIR!
and YOU? INTERNATIONAL? I DONT CARE CUZ *YOU* GET A PAIR!
it could happen, right?
RIGHT??
M.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:23 am
Though I am international,
I still think so what?
I just KNOW these shoes
would be great for my butt.
Such shoes China
hath ne’er before seen,
I’d wear ‘em with khakis…
I’d wear ‘em with jeans.
And when those old Chinese ladies
see shoes and stare,
I’d smile and grin,
so they’ll know I don’t care.:D
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
I’d be the cooliest mom on the playground. I’d run circles around the other bland moms.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
I’m NOT internationally known
but I’m good on the microphone.
I get on the treadmill and go
when I’m bored I pretend it’s a show.
I bump up the incline
and then channel Patsy Cline!
I just want to quit
But envision MizFit.
Wikiwikiwiki
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 am
I would wear them Nov 4 as the youngest supervisory election judge in the county.
And climbing 126 stairs (120 of which I could avoid if I really wanted) to teach confused, naive 18-year olds to stretch their views a little and maybe even open their minds.
And to turn off Blue’s Clues and take my son for a walk around the block instead.
And maybe even to walk to the grocery store for a small shopping trip instead of driving.
(please oh please random number generator, pick my number!)
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 am
What a great giveaway!
Why it was just yesterday
I rode the bus with a man
rockin’ MBTS - I’m a FAN!
I couldn’t take my eyes
off his muscular thighs
(I mean his feet
and his shoes– so, so neat)
Me? I’d gladly look like a nut:
“Hey, guys, check out my shoes, not my butt!”
My coworkers would probably be quite pleased at anything that could dissuade me from walking around barefoot…
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 am
I would wear them everywhere! In the evenings when we take our family walks. During the day when the kids and I walk to the park. I’m crossing my fingers that the random number generator picks my number.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 am
I’d rock ‘em at the library, along with my “I’m adventurous, I read” t-shirt.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:57 am
now THIS is on my mind:
Billy, Billy dont you lose my number
Cuz youre not anywhere
That I can find yooooou.
Oh now Billy, Billy dont you lose my number
Cuz youre not anywhere that I can find you, oh no…
if by BILLY you mean RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR—which you all do.
M.
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:05 am
Those would be cool for walking at the park with my little one
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:10 am
The PTO meetings. They already think I’m strange….
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:18 am
I would wear them simply to show off my new skinny feet, that seem to have shrunk since I started running - my summer sandals are suddenly too big.
I would also wear them everywhere, just to have the opportunity to tell the story of another great thing that has happened in my life since I started my fitness quest!
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:20 am
By the way, Billy Don’t You Lose My Number makes me also think :
Jenny, I got your number,
I need to make you mine.
Jenny, don’t change your number,
8-6-7-5-3-0-9 (8-6-7-5-3-0-9)
8-6-7-5-3-0-9 (8-6-7-5-3-0-9)
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:28 am
I would wear then around and make both my girls jealous because they are shoe loving fools and these would be all mine!
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:32 am
Have a great weekend! No work this weekend….turn your computer off!
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:32 am
Whoopie! MBT. I can see. Them on my feet. Walking round in my BCBG (sweats).
AND, for any NON-US entrants that may perhaps could win it to give it….I’M IN TEXAS, Y’ALL!
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:35 am
You always inspire me to do the best workouts for my body! I would wear them to 1) stay motivated 2)keep fit 3)I’ll keep working on that marathon run!
Thanks Miz Fit, love your rhymes!
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:51 am
You want quirky? I am THE Queen of Quirk at the Y. I bounce 12 pound medicine balls off my stomach. I walk circles around the treadmills carrying 45-pound plates. I do leg raises while standing on my head. They all think I’m nuts over there.
I’m also a big fidgeter, and those look like great shoes for fidgeting. I could rock back and forth while swinging my arms and be super, super nerdy looking.
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:54 am
Dear Dragonmamma,
please dont make me put on my vision board that you start a blog.
your comments. your deeming yerself the Q.O.Q. The visual of you prancing around the treads (whilst the cardio queens slave away) holding the plates. The fidgeting.
it’s all too much.
love,
M.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:23 am
Pleeeeeze no vision board, I don’t have time for my own blog! If I did that, I wouldn’t have time to come here to visit you!
By the way, I’m extra giddy today because it’s my birthday, and it’s the big 5-0!! I already had my super-de-duper workout this morning, starting with 50 pull-up burpees. My hubby even came to the gym with me!
Burrito and birthday cake with the family later on. I’m supposed to act surprised, but I know that hubby got me my very own medicine ball to play with at home.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:37 am
7 7 7 93 Eleven I wanna win the MBTs if that’s alright.
7 7 7 93 Eleven Oh MizFit please pick my number tonight.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:39 am
I’m imagining wearing the shoes to high tea. It will be my first time “teaing” with my friends and I’d love to make an impression.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 am
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRAGONMAMMA.
may you have a blogfree year filled with joy and good health.
here’s to your next 50.
Miz.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 am
When I started exercising I did it with “Wancing.” I bougt myself and iPod and downloaded my fav tunes and came up with a play list that just fit the time I wanted to put in walking. The first day out I started bopping to the music and putting an extra cadence to my steps. The next time I want out I began to feel a little naughty and would stop right in the middle of the walk when the “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” came on and started line dancing. Thank heaven no one was around because this old lady looks a sight line dancing by herself. And that’s how I “wance” for my exercise.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 am
I’m a rebel because sometimes I run late at night and people think I shouldn’t.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:35 am
Oh, I want!
I’m a rebel because I don’t like to take “days off” when I’m deep into my exercise routines - my hubbie gets on to me.
I would totally show off these shoes - I’ve been craving them for a couple of years now! Great thing is, the more you wear ‘em, the better the effects!
Bring on the MBTs!
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:38 am
I just couldn’t wear those….I’m all about comfort and good for your feet, but damn!
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I wear crocks so pretty is not really important to me.
I would LOVE to rock MBT’s too - ugly - fugly, I don’t care if they make my feet feel good and possibly my ass, I am sooo there! I would wear them in the rain and the snow and any place I go, work, the track, target, trader joe’s, on the train and in a plane, on a date, making a cake (lowfat sugar free of course!), in the park, in the dark, wherever and whenever!
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Ooooh YES! Happy 50! It’s the new 30!
Can I be the Marquesa of Madness?

October 3rd, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Wow, there is NO WAY I would wear my MBTs while working out. I do unstable workouts already, which scare the guys in the freeweight section enough. Doing them in rockin shoes would put the fear of 25# dumb bells headin toward their private parts or the more vulnerable but less important heads…
I wear them while I’ll be walking on a stable surface: houses, sidewalks, paved paths. I fear them on dirt trails. At least at this point. I have poor perception of what’s underfoot already, and my MBTs double that.
Still, I have the athletic (sneaker style) shoe and find them MUCH too hot to wear in the summertime. So I’d rock a pair of sandals around all the art and craft and music festivals, the Farmer’s Markets, the summer concerts in the park. The baseball games.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I would show my inner rebel by leaving the office for “walk breaks.” In my new MBTs, of course.
PickmePickmePickme…
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Did you know that some famous “docs” at times wear MBTs? Per People magazine: In Grey’s Anatomy “Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl have been wearing sneakers by MBT”! So every time I put them on I’ll be thinking of McDreamy and McSteamy and thats all the motivatiion I need!!
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Aw, rats…got my ditty composed to find that Kelley Burrus already kind of beat me to the legging idea by promising to wear them with tights, and Deanna mentioned Crocs AND tossed in some kickin’ GE&H rhyme…But such is commenting from the Left Coast, here goes anyway:
Fashionistas already mock
When I sport my tres faux Crocs.
MBTs may be fugly, but they help you move,
With novel leggings, their looks improve.
I’d wear those shoes in sun and rain,
And in the dark, and on a train;
And absolutely, Miz-I-Am,
I’d wear ‘em while eating
Green eggs and ham.
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:46 pm
ya’ll amaze me.
Seriously.
And Pubsgal? Calling out other commenters? Cracked me the hell up (thank you. Needed that. at the bookstore traintable for the 28372 time this week.)
linking to another member of the BUMBLING BAND? you.awesome.
Love,
Miz., who is thisclose to getting a Green Eggs & Ham tat. Did you know? DID YOU KNOW?!

I’m so glad you decoded that poetry for me- i’m terrible at it (and I had to analyze a poem in spanish on wednesday… anyways)
I would totally be a rebel by wearing those bad boys around campus and to practice to watch my teammates faces turn green with envy- rather than from seas sickness.
My morning workout today? Rowing a 10k (plus warm up/cool down) while dodging seagulls (in kansas!) and watching a house fire. (wish i could blog about it- but i’m not allowed. yesturday we had about 5 ft visibility due to fog. we almost got lost)

My reasons really don’t matter
You see
Since it is free
I will wear My MBT
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I’d love to have a pair of MBT.
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I would wear them everywhere!
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I would wear these around the house, on weekends and to run errands. If I could, I would wear them to work! Alas I require a business attire. I’m not one to shy away from odd looking shoes - I have bright turquoise, purple, and pink sneakers that I love wearing. The quirkier the shoe, the more I embrace it!
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:35 pm
I would totally wear them to work and make all the people with boring FLAT shoes jealous.
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I’d wear them to walk the 2 miles each way to and from work. My route takes me along a main road through downtown rush hour and I already feel like I’m one-upping all of those drivers by walking and getting exercise rather than driving and polluting. MBT’s will make them look twice and hopefully think twice! They’ll be jealous of those AND the fact that I only have to fill up my tank every 3 or 4 weeks!
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I’d wear them rebelliously by believing that they are attractive shoes…am I honestly the only one who doesn’t get why people keep calling them fugly?
I wonder how they are when riding a bike?
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I’d rock those puppies at work. A happy worker is a worker with happy feet
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I’d wear them with shorts and kneesocks and get my cardio for the day by high-knee skipping down the streets in high-traffic areas
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I would wear them to the county club. All those gals in their loafers and tretorns will, once again, be jealous of me!
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I would probably wear them to lab.
And then sneak out for a run while I’m waiting for an experiment to finish.
heh… oh well.
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I would wear them around the lab and for all the seminars to which I am always running late.
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
and srsly, GREEN EGGS AND HAM TATTOO?
would you get it on a bus?
would you get it on a plane?
would you ask a surgeon to operate
so he could put it on your brain?
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:57 pm
creepy! me and therese must be the same person.
(ok, that’s all from me today.)
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:00 pm
The MBT’s could be my ’shoes’ as in ‘Life in Liz’s Shoes’, haha. I love it! I would wear them all over the place, and I don’t care what anyone thinks…my hubs already thinks my shoes are ugly and calls them Jesus shoes…they are just hurauches (leather sandals) but they are so comfortable that I will wear them anywhere!
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I sure would like them
here or there
I sure would like them
anywhere
I sure do like
those MBT’s
I wanna win
MizFit, pretty please!!
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Would you like them in their box?
Would you take them on long walks?
Would you clean them here and there?
Would you clean them EVERYWHERE?
Could you wear them without shame?
Could you shield them from the rain?!
Could you love them as do I?
Would you could you even TRY?!
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:13 pm
True dat here We were talking about my MBTs in the locker room at the gym the other day.
Ran into one of the women from that discussion at the pet store. Her first words: you’re not wearing your rockin’ shoes today!
I am already known as an MBT gal!
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:40 pm
oh how a long for a pair. I met a 60+ yr.old woman this summer, asked her how she liked them she said….”I’d trade my husband before I’d give up the MBT’s”!
I just started teaching P.E. at an elementary school. Asphalt. All day. My brain is fine. My legs and feet, so tired. So sore. Like I said, I long for a pair.
Thanks for the chance
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
For some reason it won’t post my comments — arrrgh!!!! I’d show mine off proudly at preschool!
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Day, night, dark light. I’d display them proudly.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Hey! Your Friday rhymes are so cute!
First off, I’m moving near the beach. so these babies would be perfect for my upcoming walks on the beach (hi…my name is Erica, I’m a virgo and I like long walks on the beach is my awesome un-shoes ;)). Also, my hectic life requires me to go from home, to work, to the gym to teach, a pair of these shoes could cover me in all places!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend with the man and the tornado
October 4th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Im sorry to say that I dont know what MBT’s are ?? But they sound wonderful, sounds like so many people know about them!
October 4th, 2008 at 4:37 am
I love the poetry!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:02 am
Ha, I wonder if I could do my next marathon “rollin in my kicks”
You rock girlie, digging the prose.
October 4th, 2008 at 7:32 am
Woo! I would put them on during my lunch break and walk around the library and up and down the stairs in my suit and my MBTs to get a good midday boost and impress the pants off all my coworkers! Although, hopefully I wouldn’t literally impress the pants off them, because, um, ew.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
I’d wear them to walk Moonpie, my Greyhound, and probably get talked about by the much-younger crowd in my law school who already think I’m freakish! But then again, folks are usually so busy looking at Moonpie–he’s very handsome–that I could be chopped liver and it wouldn’t matter!
October 5th, 2008 at 6:14 am
Ooh, I really need these things. I’ve got wonky knees and wobbly ankles and I think MBTs might help strengthen them.
I live in a rather hippie NY village and you see all kinds of folks rambling around in sandals or dreadlocks or mystical crystals, but I’d be the talk of the town in some funky MBTs!
October 5th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Yes, I would take them from the box
I’d wear them to a club that rocks
My feet would walk down city streets
they’d tap a number to the beats.
My coworkers could see how fine
it makes me feel within my spine.
My cares are few, my pain is less
My MBT’s erase my stress.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:23 am
I’d wear mine to walk nimbly across all terrain - be it bridges over Sydney or mud on glaciers.
My MBTs and I would see the world together
October 5th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I’d use MBTs for marathon training. I go through a lot of shoes every year, so it would be sweet to have a pair that would last longer.
October 5th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I have no rhyme
so sorry I suck
but I want to win
wish me luck
October 5th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
What a cool giveaway! The best I can do is to display me wearing them across many different places — work, the gym, a fancy dinner…
I’ve always been curious about MBTs (I’ve tried them on a few times) but too unsure to actually purchase them. Cheers!
October 5th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Haha I just liked reading everyone else’s comments!
October 5th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
I KNOW, CCV!
