Masai Barefoot Technologyshoes, or MBT for short, have recently gained popularity because of the many testimonials about them. In fact, a lot of celebrities have been spotted wearing them. A few of them include Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum, Madonna, Teri Hatcher, Liz Hurley, Sadie Frost, and Cher.
MBTshoes were invented by Karl Muller, a Swiss Engineer. However, the proof that this technology actually works has been provided for centuries by the Masai, a tribe from East Africa. They enjoy good health, having little history of joint and back problems. Karl Muller was able to discover the Masai’s secret: walking barefoot on soft ground entails balancing the body with each step. During his stay in Korea, Karl Muller discovered that whenever he walked barefoot on paddy fields, his back pain lessened. He then developed a shoe that would imitate walking barefoot on soft ground.
Walking with MBT shoes has been proven to lessen foot, hip and back problems, as well as cellulites. A study done by the Sheffield Hallam University located in England reports while MBT shoes are being used, the activity of the muscles of the buttocks increased by 9 percent. The rear thigh muscles’ activity grew by 18 percent, while that of the lower extremities rose by 19 percent. Moreover, users of MBT sneakers are able to breathe in 2.5 percent more oxygen.
MBT shoes are a good buy since you know that by merely wearing them while doing your daily activities, you are able to boost the process of keeping your body in better shape. However, MBT shoes take a little time to get used to. When wearing them for the first time, it feels wiggly, as if you are walking on sand. After one to two months of daily practice, you would grow fully accustomed to them already. You can then use them whenever and wherever you want to.
"MBT Shoes Mania - I have another pair of MBT sneakers that I purchased before the Sport Low. I ordered the same size but the Sport Low model fits larger and is a bit loose. I still wear them almost every day because they help my posture and enhance how I walk and stand. MBT is an awesome shoe but their sizing is a bit of trial and error."
"MBTs and what they do for you - These Masai shoes provided me with much needed back and knee relief. I am a nurse and have talked half of my coworkers into them. I've not met anyone who regretted the purchase. Go to resole.com to get info on the yearly resole and reconditioning of your shoe - you do not throw these out after a year. This pair I bought for my son who is in retail sales and also on his feet all day. He loves them as much as I do. You will not want to wear anything else after you wear these."
"Pure Comfort... Speaking for a large Dental company, I am on my feet and walking around for a minimum of 7 to 8 hours. Wearing my conventional shoes, I limp off to lunch and return almost having to take "pain killers" to walk. Wearing my MBTs, I feel absolutely no discomfort at all, and no pain that evening nor any pain the next day. I give up a little in looks for pure comfort and wear them in the office... Thank you."
"Never thought I'd spend this much...glad I did - I am totally enjoying my MBT shoes. They are so comfortable that I wear them most of the time and never have that immediate desire to take them off as soon as get home syndrome that I normally have with most of my other shoes. I will be ordering a new pair when they are on sale in the near future. I'm completely happy with my experience both with the Masai shoes and the online service. Keep up the good work."
