MBT Women's Ari

The MBT Ari is the inaugural style in the new "Ultimate" line of shoes which garnered this year's Red Dot Award for Product Design! The first shoe in the physiological wellness footwear arena to do so!

Athletic-styled shoe in a variety of colors to satisfy everyone! Enjoy a good workout with this fun, breathable shoe. MBT shoes change the way you use your body so that your muscles, back, and joints work as a unit to compensate for the shoe’s natural instability. The unique multi-layered sole and Masai sensor help you to achieve improved posture and balance, strengthen and tone muscles, and reduce pressure on your joints as it emulates the feeling of walking on sand. The rolling motion of MBT shoes is greatly beneficial to those with plantar fasciitis and other types of foot problems.

Ari’s outstanding ventilation system includes a highly breathable mesh upper, lightweight sock liner, and inlay sole.  Biomechanically-engineered pillars in the sole increase the air flow as you step, and the lasting board contains ventilation portals so that your feet stay significantly cooler and drier than in other shoes.

Features include:

• Uniquely designed "Ultimate Activator" provides the highest level of muscle activation as you walk
• Lightweight 3D mesh upper and lining are highly breathable
• Powerful built-in ventilation system that helps keep feet cool and dry
