"These
shoes can work like a personal mini-gym... my body shape
has gradually changed my upper thighs are now slimmer."
The
Times Magazine
"MBT
doesn't simply guide and cushion your feet, it changes the
load on your spine and encourages the postural muscles to
be more reactive and supportive. They really do work."
Time Out
"I've
noticed a huge difference in my posture, but the best thing has
been an improvement in my lower back pain - I've woken up ache free
for the first time in two years." Daily Mirror

What
is MBT
When we walk more upright we not only look better, but automatically
are healthier and stronger. We protect our back and joints, increase
circulation and breathe more efficiently. MBT lengthens and strengthens
the whole body while standing, walking or running.
Masai
Barefoot Technology® is a swiss health & fitness concept,
which exceeds all expectations.
MBT
transforms hard even surfaces into soft uneven ones. Unlike conventional
shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction
of the MBT challenges your muscles to be more active. MBT
re-establishes the natural conditions for standing and walking.

How will they help
me?
Every day 10,000 shocks to your spine
and other joints create feet and leg problems and a stooped
passive posture. MBT adapts to each hard, flat, synthetic surface
to form a natural, undulating, flexible feeling.
MBT straightens your posture, relieving pressure
in the spine and joints, and strengthens
the muscles of the feet, legs, buttocks and back. MBT
helps to relieve muscular tension and reduce pain, a worthwhile
investment for the health of your back, legs and feet.

How
does it work?
MBT encourages muscles to be more reactive and supportive,
which leads to increased shock absorption for joints and
discs.
MBT does not support, guide or cushion your feet, on the
contrary, your feet and postural musculature will have
to be more active.

Sport
and Fitness
"The
MBT is recommended by health professionals and professional athletes.
More effective training with more fun.." Runners World
MBT is not actually a sports shoe, but can increase the pleasure
of walking or jogging. MBT has developed ‘roll jogging’
which is an innovative training method resembling jogging barefoot
in sand; the joints are released and the muscles balanced. Many
professional sports men and women utilise roll jogging during
their warm ups, to help speed up regeneration, to optimise their
running style, and for speed and power training.

Therapy
Many muscular-skeletal problems originate in poor posture and
faulty gait patterns. Today many health professionals use MBT
successfully to help prevent and treat injuries. By taking the
impact out of walking the spine is protected and not shocked with
each step. Many people experience a significant reduction in lower
back, hip or knee pain through the regular use of MBT.

Beauty & Cellulite
Increased muscle activity & circulation
will reduce cellulite and varicose veins. Active
walking tones not only the legs, but also the stomach and buttocks.
Roll jogging is 3 times more effective than jogging or walking
and can help with weight loss.

How do I buy them?
As MBT is a sophisticated product, we do
not sell them without first conducting a thorough fitting consultation
in person. This session is a fundamental part of preparing you
for the incredible changes that MBT have to offer as well as ensuring
your correct sizing.
Barefoot
Studio is the largest stockist of MBT in Wales and offers full fitting
consultations in our shop, Monday to Saturday 9.00 am to 5.00pm,
there is no need to make an appointment. Just pop in to try a pair
of MBT’s and learn how to get the most out of them. One fitting
consultation is enough, after that you are free to buy as many pairs
of MBTs as you like by telephone. MBT are not sold on-line or by
mail order.
Please note if MBT is to be used as an accompanying therapy to specific
health problems it is essential that you are supervised by a health
professional and MBT trainer. Barefoot Studio staff are all qualified
MBT trainers.
If
your question isn’t answered here then please give us a call.
