What is MBT? Inspired by the Masai Tribe, MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) is a range of footwear which reestablishes our natural conditions of standing and walking. Establishing these natural conditions with MBT offers high potential for health, beauty, sports, fitness, and therapeutic applications.
How does MBT work? Using a multi layered sole, MBT® transforms flat, hard, artificial surfaces into natural, uneven ground. Much like walking in sand, the unique uplifting lever spring action of the MBT® sole challenges the core strengthening muscles to be more active. This reactive, more supportive muscle action creates good posture and increases shock absorption for all the joints, significantly reducing muscular-skeletal compression.

Beauty & Wellbeing
“don’t just stand there, do something…whether you’re standing in line at the café or talking with your friend, you are nearly always toning your body when you’re wearing MBTs”
Because MBTs continuously work your muscles and activate neglected ones, you’ll find your body changing for the better.
MBT’s unique patented curved layered sole lengthens the body into an upright posture and encourages use of neglected muscle groups. Walking or jogging in MBTengages weakened muscles and burns more calories, thus helping to efficiently tone and strengthen. Even while standing the muscles continue working to gain a center of balance.

Medical & Therapy - “make every workout a day at the beach”
We all know what it’s like walking on sand. Soft and forgiving but actually quite challenging on your muscles. MBTs work the same way; the soft cushion of the heel-sensor in combination with the rocker shaped sole gives your body a break from the flat, unforgiving surfaces we encounter every day. Many muscular-skeletal problems originate from poor posture and faulty gait patterns.
