MBT Chapa Heather - NEW for 2009

“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.
