MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) Sneaker

A few weeks back while shopping I noticed an unusual looking sneaker. It looked quite comfortable although I was not sure that I liked the styling of it. It had a rocker bottom. I tried it on and loved the fact that it made my foot look smaller than it was. However, as I walked down the aisle of the store I was a little unbalanced. I read the literature that came with it and was impressed with the good points made about it. It is called the MBT, or Masai Barefoot Technology. It is also called the anti-shoe.

This sneaker, MBT, claims that it would improve my posture, strengthen my back and joints and accelerate my circulation. It also stated that my whole body would benefit by wearing it, making it stronger when I stood, walked, and even ran. While I could not imagine running in it, it certainly made me feel good. I read further and discovered that the shock to your numerous foot bones when wearing this sneaker is greatly decreased.

More research on these sneakers also concluded that the MBT helped to solve neck and knee pain, as well as joint pain. The body is made to walk with a natural balance when wearing the anti-shoe and this will in turn exercise the body’s musculature. These sneakers even claim to exercise your stomach.

Now while I am sure that the scientific research they have done is justifiably true, it is only as healthy as the person wearing them. In order to be healthy and fit one has to exercise. These sneakers will help to accentuate the ability to do this by making your walking stride easier and without the foot, leg, and back pain that some people encounter while walking.

I did speak with a couple of people who are serious walking enthusiasts that I know who wear them faithfully and they are pleased with how they feel in them after walking. They were very surprised that their feet, legs, and back were not uncomfortable after walking a long distance as they normally were. They are expensive, but if you are suffering from joint problems or are a serious fitness buff they would be well worth it.
