David and Linda Tagg at Back To Work recommend the Swiss Masai MBTs. MBT’s, or Masai Barefoot Technology® . We recommend you follow the CARE GUIDE on how to clean your MBT shoes & properly care for MBT shoes
The main difference between MBTs and conventional shoes is that when they are used correctly, the 3D instability created by the unique MBT midsole with its balancing area and the soft Masai Sensor, the body is stimulated to use natural inbuilt skills to protect itself.
The round sole makes the difference obvious to everybody. Conventional shoes constrain and control the foot. The body is stabilized in an unnatural way by the shoes, whereas with MBTs the body is balanced through muscular effort. The natural instability underneath the feet ensures that neglected muscle groups automatically perform the balancing movements that nature intended. using a ‘Wobble Board’ is an established training/rehab’ tool. The MBT provides similar benefits without going to the gym (see research).

Which is why a training fitting session is essential before purchasing if you are to gain the maximum benefits from your MBTs and is part of the MBT philosophy.
The revolutionary sole construction places the body in a natural instability that can otherwise only be achieved by walking barefoot on natural, uneven surfaces. MBT relieves stress on joints, exercises muscles and thus strengthens the entire musculoskeletal system.
MBT shoes and sandals transform hard even surfaces into soft uneven ones.
Unlike conventional shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction of the MBT shoes challenges your muscles to be more active. Your balance, coordination and stamina is improved with every step.
MBT ‘Kisumu’ sandals make excellent ‘slippers’ for those with hard, laminate or tiled floors.

MBT is a complete shoe construction, with health benefits supported by research. Correct application and use is essential to gaining the potential benefits.

History of MBT Shoes
|
|
The Swiss engineer Karl Müller has been developing MBT shoes for over a decade. Suffering from back, knee and achilles tendon problems himself, he looked for a solution. During his long stay in Asia he recognised that hard, even surfaces were to blame for his increasing pain. Studying the people around him helped him to develop a product that transforms hard, flat ground into a soft and uneven surface while strengthening the body.
Since his return to Switzerland the MBT shoes have been developed and researched, and is now widely used successfully accross Europe.

MBT shoes are more appropriately called an ‘anti-shoe’
|
that neither supports, guides or absorbs shock. In fact, exactly the opposite occurs in that it makes everyday surfaces feel uneven. MBT shoes are not like ‘ordinary’ shoes.
|
|
|
- Physiotherapists, osteopaths & chiropractors recommend the use of MBT to successfully help prevent and treat injuries, when used in conjunction with correct use and training.
- Through the biomechanical function of MBT shoes and sandals, the muscles, joints and spine begin to function anatomically. Joint wear is reduced,and with it pain.
- With every step taken, MBT is therapeutic and simultaneously preventative.
|
|
Instead of having a heel that works to absorb shock, the MBT shoes have a rolling element for proprioceptive muscle tuning (heel sensor).
MBT shoes re-establish the natural conditions for standing and walking.
Walking more upright not only looks better but automatically makes you healthier and stronger. Your back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient.
|
|
|
MBT shoes lengthen and strengthen your whole body while standing, walking or in gentle running.
Through the action of a tension interchange of the muscles, they become shock absorbers for the joints and through this the body experiences release of tension, relaxation and improved circulation.
In short, the effects of walking with MBT shoes are both training and “massage”.
|
|
|
With a flat surface, the opposite occurs. Here the steps fall almost uncontrollably onto the ground and the whole body receives shocks, leading to poor posture, blockages, tension and weak muscles. The human body is not designed for constant moving on even ground.
The MBT shoes will not only change the way you use your muscles, but will improve the use of your joints and spine.
No matter what the goal, if for training, information or therapeutic uses, you will benefit from visiting an introductory course lead by a fully qualified MBT shoes trainer.

Development and Production
For 10 years, Karl Müller and a team of specialists (Dr., Physiotherapists, etc.) have been developing the A - Z of MBT shoes. Even the tools used to produce MBT shoes were created by his hands. The individual parts of the MBT shoes are produced by a diversity of specialised companies and constructed by a central company. The whole production is organized and supervised by MBT personnel, maintaining high standards throughout the production process.

The sole is constructed as a Sendersil Construction from 12 layers.
This special sole is durable to extreme pressures and, depending on body load, is designed for two to four million steps.
