ohhh they do... me and Dolly... we should shop at the same store. Thanks for the kind words by the way... Flint is always telling me I'm hot and look like a goddess... of course the goddess that comes to my mind is the Venus of Villendorff
MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology... here is the link

The MBT brand was the origional I believe and from the reviews while similar to the Sketchers version they are squisher on the bottom and require more participation on your part to maintain balance. It is possible to find them on sale for the same price or just a bit more than the Sketchers. Fit Flops I haven't looked into yet. From what I can tell most folks seem pretty happy with all of them... so its more a matter of what feels right on your foot... and your wallet. I'm going to go try some of each on hopefully tomorrow and can make a better decision then. I'll try the fit flops out too... I pretty much live in flip flops so thats a pretty good idea.
