Style Description: MBT Kisumu 2 are super comfy sandals which are perfect summer choice. They are manufactured just like all other MBT® style to ensure comfort and positive effect on your whole body. They have a specific design which makes additional muscles of your body to work to provide the exercising effect. This effect starts when your wear these should and increases while standing and walking. The footbed is specially designed with the Masai Sensor (Masai Barefoot Technology®) which gives the super comfortable feeling of walking on sand. The upper is made from the rich quality leather. The upper has the prominent stitch detailing to give it luxurious looks. There are three hook and loop closures which let you personalize the fit and also enable quick on and off wearing. The footbed is made from the EVA which absorbs shocks to prevent the stress on the legs and back. This footbed also prevents the foot odor with the antibacterial treatment. The shank is made from glass fiber and TPU. This makes the sole of the shoe super strong and durable. The midsole is made from the PU to enables the rolling movement which cause the great effect on the body. The outsole is made from the rubber which is lightweight and provides the durability for long time use. Its heel is 1 ¾ inches high with 1 inches of platform. This style weighs 15 ounces. Colors: White and Chocolate.
I have tried both the original Kisumu and the Kisumu 2 as well. The main difference between these two is that the new shape for the front of the sandal which is great. It is wider and also squarer which makes this shoe wide enough to accommodate my 4E feet. Orignal Kisumu could do that so I am thankful of MBT for designing this shoe. The insole of this Kisumus is extremely comfortable. The main thing to consider about these sandals is the benefits MBT has offered. You need to sharp them or rather you can say that you have to tight them. They cannot be floated around like other shoes. You will not be able to do the rocking walk in these. Unfortunately the strap at the back rub my ankle. The lining of the strap is not soft at all and bothers me a lot. My first day in these were really disappointed because I had to walk a lot and my feet was bleeding when I took these off. I had to wear these daily for an hour just to get use to them and finally my feet got used to it and now I can wear these for a while. I have noticed another thing that the sole of each shoe by MBT is a bit different though they look same. The best shoe by this brand which I own is the Bia model which I really adore. The sole of this shoe is not as adorable as the sole of Bia. I have noticed that I have to pay a very close attention to my gait to avoid stumping along instead of rocking smoothly like other MBT shoes I have. MBT shoes always worth the price, but I am facing problem with this shoe. I hope this is not the case with other MBT shoes.
