Wearing MBTs can be described as like running barefoot on the beach. Soft, forgiving but actually quite hard work. Because of the way MBT shoes work, running in them is very much like running on a beach. With the soft heel-sensor and rolling action your muscles have to work harder than normal and you'll be using muscles that are usually neglected when running in normal training shoes.

In fact MBT shoes can help burn more calories when walking or jogging.

More specifically they can help to:

* improve performance
* activate neglected muscles
* improve muscle co-ordination
* provide a more efficient workout
* improve your running technique
* improve core stability
* improve endurance
* prevent injuries and reduce the time it takes for injuries to heal
