MBT Shoes - Product Review

Before I get into this article, I have to let all my faithful readers know that I have never owned a pair of MBT footwear or any other type of special footwear before. My interest in these particular footwear stems from the fact that I work on my computer all day, and have started to get some back pains and pains in my joints. However, since it is required to have the product before I can really comment on them, I have decided to join the new fitness revolution and buy a pair of these new MBT footwear.

MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology and the footwear are designed to copy walking on a beach in the sand. It's a multiple layered, curved sole that obtains this by creating a natural, but uneven walking surface. This Masai technology is meant to make the core strengthening muscles more active, producing better posture, better back strength and increasing shock absorption for all of the joints. It also makes wearing these walking footwear quite a unique experience to say the least, and quite a workout.

I purchased a pair of the MBT footwear called the sport white. When I received them, I was a bit thrown back on how weird they looked. They looked clunky and huge. I put them on and was instantly feeling weird. They rock back and forth, due to the curved sole. But after a few minutes of wearing these MBT footwear, I became use to the weird motion and began to walk around. They actually felt really good. Walking felt better from some reason. As you walk, the footwear actually propels you in a correct fashion. When standing still, you feel more upright and my back felt more straight.

I have been wearing them now for the last 6 months and I can honestly say that I am extremely pleased with the quality of this walking shoe. The positive changes I have seen in my back pain since I began wearing the MBT footwear is remarkable. I feel better and healthier and think this walking footwear has really helped my posture. I can look back and say that I am reaping some benefits from wearing these footwear and highly recommend them.

MBT footwear

The MBT footwear (Masai Barefoot Technology) has developed into a household name in Europe and in the United States. This is because the shoes have been clinically proved to have fitness and health benefits. They are swiftly advancing in popularity in the United States, particularly since MBT has been featured on The Today Show. They are a wonderful fitness tool for those suffering from back pain or those who wish for help getting into shape without having to do too much that's out of their normal schedule.

MBT footwear help make exercising more efficient, recovery faster, and cellulite ridden thighs a thing of the past. Strengthening the calf muscles and easing pain through reduced build up of lactic acid in the muscles are more bonuses that sports people like. The shoes also are reputed to help develop core strength. In addition, MBT footwear has been clinically proven to reduce backache, improve posture, burn more calories and lessen the shock on joints. It is no wonder a numbers now wearing them has multiplied like a virus.

The curved soles of the shoes emulate the barefoot walking style of the African Masai tribe on uneven terrain. Walking on uneven surfaces increases the pumping action of the calf muscles, enhancing lymphatic drainage and reducing cellulite and some avid MBT foofwear fans have said their lives have changed as a result of wearing them.

With the MBT footwear, versatility is at your disposal. Fitness Walking is the claim to its fame, but the Masai Barefoot Technology comes in several flavors so there is a shoe that meets any needs. The MBT footwear line includes sports shoes for avid fitness walkers, but they also have a nice line of sandals for the summer months spent at the beach or hiking, as well as an elegant line of professional footwear, perfect for business people and for casual wear.
