MBT shoes:
I have spent most of my life in Kenya, East Africa I was intrigued to hear MBT shoes, otherwise known as Masai Barefoot Technology.
MBT shoes are most definitely not a fashion statement and can look a bit odd. Invented in 1997 by Swiss Engineer Karl Mueller, Mbt's are seen as a highly performing aid to fitness. MBT's are designed to be breathable, flexible and comfortable. The MBT shoes uniquely designed sole, very similar to the 'tyre shoes' often worn by East African Tribal people, are said to mimic walking around barefoot in the sand. MBT shoes are slightly weighted and distribute weight evenly across the entire foot and as your body reacts to the weight and instability of the mbt shoe's sole design, muscles, often those neglected, are made to work to correct this instability.
Could there then be a better way to tone up when the only fitness aid you need is a pair of MBT shoes? MBT shoes can have a beneficial effect on the entire body and MBT shoes are said to enhance both training and massage effects on the body.
