The shoes are called MBT’s, short for Masai Barefoot Technology. It is the first physiological footwear, meaning it benefits the whole structural system of the body, so it’s not just working on the feet, but also working on the structural system like circulation and different muscle groups. Arguably, a shoe that is ideal for people with joints problems or those who want a fully body workout, or those that even want to remove cellulite. It doesn’t feel like a workout, which is the beauty of the MBT Shoes. All you have to do is wear it.
Masai Barefoot Technology Types
The fitness shoe collection is a style for the avid fitness walker. Among the different types of Masai Barefoot Technology, the Sport and Safiri are some of the more popular available. If intense training is your ultimate goal, than look no further. The MBT Sport is what started the whole craze. Available in black and white, these sneakers have a one and a half inch pivot sole which produces all the benefits like challenging the muscles. The MBT Safiri features nubuck, split leather, and mesh upper offers breathable wear and and scratch resistance. Natural rolling movement of the foot for even weight distribution can be found with the TPU and glass fiber shank which adds firmness to the sole construction. They feature a PU midsole with pivot that is the balancing section underneath the metatarsus which requires an active rolling movement with every step. A durable rubber outsole offers lightweight support with good traction.
Another popular style of Masai Barefoot Technology is the casual collection. These offer all the same benefits as the other types of footwear, but are meant for wearing day to day, whether it be for wearing to work, out to eat, doing errands. Two popular styles include the Raha with its Scratch-resistant nubuck, split leather, and corduroy upper with am adjustable hook-and-loop instep strap for a secure fit, and the The MBT Barabara Black features soft suede upper with contrast stitching and lightly padded tongue and collar for added comfort. Antimicrobial Dry&Cool mesh and foam insole allows for breath ability and assists moisture management.
There are a few boot selections available that offer a fall/winter option, including the Tambo. This good looking boot will take your winter wardrobe to a whole new level. It features all the same benefits as the aforementioned footwear, plus a full grain leather upper with a zippered shaft. A little pricey, being priced at $390. But who said style comes cheap?
The sandal series from Masai Barefoot Technology is the last to highlight. You don't have to sweat it out this summer in a normal pair of walking shoes. MBT has a wide range of sandals that have all the same benefits as their shoes, plus the added benefit of keeping your feet arid and cool in those hot summer months. They have a nice variety of sandals including the Ema and the fitflop.
If you want to burn calories, tone muscles, get rid of cellulite, or ease back ache, then look no further than the Masai Barefoot Technology.

MBT Shoes - Not a Normal Kind of Footwear
The anti-shoe, also known as MBT shoes, are not your normal kind of footwear. It's a relatively new concept in shoe design developed to be both physiologically and anatomically correct.
The concept was developed while studying the Masai tribe's walking habits. It was discovered that this nomadic group walk extremely long distances on a daily basis, with a most amazing realization that they had perfect posture and a low amount of back pain even though they were on their feet for long durations. It was found that they walk barefoot and on uneven ground and is attributed to the tribe’s healthy conditions.
The and other footwear were developed to mimic this instability and do so with the innovative sole construction. MBT’s are known for the extra weight loss possibilities, but there are several other features that I’ll describe in this article.
MBT shoes are known across the globe for the weight loss benefit with the extra calorie burn one receives while walking, but it also includes the following benefits:
1. Studies have shown that they have been proven to make your posture and gait improved by ten degrees.
2. The anti-shoes increase muscle activity in the buttock, rear thighs and the lower limbs.
3. This footwear increases oxygen intake.
4. When walking in MBT, they increase abdominal muscle activity.
5. The anti-shoe has been shown in research to reduce stress on the hip and knee joints.
The benefits of the anti-shoe are not only present when walking. Even when standing you can enjoy the benefits such as increased muscle activity in the back, buttock, rear thigh, abdominal and lower limb muscles.
I highly recommend taking a look at the because I think you will be amazed with what the design and features have to offer.
