The second you put on a pair of MBT shoes you experience the difference between physiological footwear and conventional shoes: wearing MBT physiological footwear is like walking barefoot on springy moss or on a sandy beach - a very comfortable feeling, but also challenging for the whole body. Every step is a small workout for the entire body.

Gait and posture improve significantly relieving the pressure on the joints and back and a multitude of muscles are exercised, both when standing and walking, which burns calories and stimulates the metabolism - stimulating weight loss and speeding up regeneration.

MBT shoes (Masai Barefoot Technology) re-establish the natural conditions for standing and walking. MBT shoes are based on sound scientific principles, backed up by two recent university studies and are a certified medical product class 1 in the EC.

With MBT the whole body works more efficiently; is more relaxed and experiences better circulation and detoxification. Instead of having a heel, the MBT has a rolling element for proprioceptive muscle tuning (a Masai Sensor). Thus MBT shoes force us to balance and to straighten up whilst standing and walking. Balancing encourages active musculature:our common tendency being to fall onto our joints, but active muscles act like shock absorbers, so by promoting active muscles, MBT shoes cushion and protect our joints from trauma.

Masai Barefoot Technology teaches us to adopt an elegant upright posture, a natural, active gait and to use all different muscle groups.

MBT make the muscles in the foot work to balance and support the body by activating the primary stabilsing muscles in the calves, thighs, buttocks, hips and abdomen.

Through the bio-mechanical function of the MBT shoe, the muscles, joints and spine begin to function in a more anatomically correct fashion. As a result both joint wear and pain are reduced. MBT shoes lengthen and strengthen your whole body whist standing, walking or in gentle running.

Moving in a more active and upright manner not only looks better, it also automatically makes us a healthier and stronger. Our back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient. Thus the effect of walking with MBT shoes is a training session and a massage.
