This because he found that the Masai people in Kenya (therefore the name), who walk barefoot on different surfaces, never suffer from back problems. He realized that the reason we in the West have so much back and neck problems, was because we mostly walk on hard concrete surface and pavements. The body needs variation to work well and build muscles to support the body. So he started do construct a footwear with four in built soles in different materials, to imitate this way of walking. He succeeded and the success was a fact.
