What are MBT shoes?

Masai Barefoot Technology shoes are specially designed to alleviate back complaints, improve training and increase performance as well as improve fitness levels and overall health. Conventional shoes constrain and control the foot, stabilizing the body in an unnatural way.

MBT shoes re-create the natural condition of standing and walking. Walking on hard flat surfaces is unnatural to the human body and can cause poor posture and damage to joints.
Masai Barefoot Technology was originally invented by a Swiss engineer, Karl Muller, who discovered that walking barefoot over Korean paddy fields alleviated his back pain.

He also observed that the Masai tribes experience few muscular or skeletal problems.

He set about developing shoes that would make the natural instability of soft ground such as the East African savannah accessible also to those who have to walk on hard surfaces

MBT shoes are now sold worldwide for fitness, sports training and for the prevention and relief of physical problems.

Masai Barefoot Technology is certain that human fitness and health are significantly influenced by the way we walk and this conviction has already been proven by many scientific studies.

With MBT shoes the natural instability underneath your feet ensures that neglected muscle groups automatically make the balancing movements that nature intended.

These activated muscles relieve the pressure on joints and discs while walking, and ensuring an improved posture that conventional shoes cannot provide.

You can pretty much count on increased energy and balance, and improved posture and muscle tone in the first couple of weeks. After twenty-eight days and many steps, you will be on your way to 'bounce to health' and having more toned muscles.
