Walking in MBTs and calories burned?

Hello MFP friends. I walk between two and six miles a day with my dogs. From time to time I switch to MBT shoes (rocker soles) if my knees or hips start to hurt. Has anybody found a reliable estimate of how many more calories per hour we burn wearing MBTs. The company's ads claim up to 25% more. I found one study online that measured oxygen consumption while wearing MBT's and estimated 18%.

    My guess would be exactly none more calories per hour.

    Lots of false claims made about those silly shoes.
