What is MBT?
Masai Barefoot Technology or MBT is not just a shoe in the ordinary sense – it is a revolutionary fitness aid from SwissMasai. This product will not only change the way you use your muscles, but will improve the use of your joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole, combined with correct training, achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk.
What are the benefits?
- Strengthens & tones muscles in the feet, legs, buttocks, stomach and back
- Increases muscle activity & circulation which may help reduce cellulite and varicose veins
- Relieves muscular tension, back and joint problems
- Leads to a relaxed upright posture and gait
How does it work?
Through its unique design of its multilayered sole, MBT transforms flat, hard, artificial surfaces into natural uneven surfaces, simulating the walking action of our barefoot ancestors.
Unlike most conventional training shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction of MBT challenges the sole, and the muscles used to form your posture, to be more active.
This reactive, more supportive muscle action increases shock absorption for joints and discs.
Walking more upright not only looks better but automatically makes us healthier and stronger. The back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient. MBT lengthens and strengthens the whole body while standing, walking or in gentle running.
The function of MBT is similar to that of balancing a ball under the foot.
Increased input-response makes it easier for the musculature to react adequately. After ground contact there is a rolling movement, starting from a negative heel position (1). This creates a pre-stretch of the calf muscles. The straightening of the body, the balancing on the mid-foot (2) and the pull-through of the step to the back (3) initiates a rotation, which follows through the whole body. This results in an active and natural posture and gait.
