MBT Shoes have been well-known in Europe since 1996, one of their
biggest selling points among women of all ages is their reputation
for helping you lose weight and tone up your muscles. In Europe,
MBT Shoes are rated as medical equipment and marketed as a fitness
aid. The design of the shoe with its unusual rocker bottom and
three part inner sole was engineered to make your body work the way
it was built to work. That 'work' includes increasing muscle
activity and decreasing strain on your joints and tendons. In the
process, the Masai Barefoot Technology built into the shoe
encourages better posture, better muscle tone and more energy
expenditure in everything from standing still to running full tilt.
