MBT prefers to think of itself as the "anti-shoe." It
has a curved sole causing it to have an unstable walking surface, it activates
your muscles,
and it has a positive effect on the entire body. MBT,
or Masai Barefoot Technology, was developed by the Swiss to emulate the
natural walking conditions of the Masai. A semi-nomadic tribe from East
Africa known for having excellent posture and almost never experiencing
joint or back pain, the Masai have adapted their bodies by walking barefoot
on the soft, sandy Mara plain, developing natural shock absorbers that
protect their back, knee and hip joints. Inspired by the Masai,
MBT was
developed for over a decade to address the chronic back, knee and foot
problems that
afflict modern society. Slip on a pair of MBT shoes
and the multi-layered sole immediately transforms hard,
flat
surfaces into a soft, shifting terrain. By creating this natural instability
underfoot, the body’s supporting muscle system is
stimulated and immediately exercised, triggering the positive
effect of Masai Barefoot Technology such as improved gait
and posture, relief from pressure on the joints and the
back, and muscle exercise.
