Default Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) Shoes
Registered members do not see these ads
These are the shoes that are supposed to give you a workout while you wear them. Masai Barefoot Technology or MBT shoes are shoes inspired in design by the non-shoe wearing Masai tribe of people from Africa. The shoes have a rocker bottom that is supposed to simulate the natural gait of walking barefoot exhibited by the Masai. many claims are made for the use of the shoe in those with ankle, knee, hip and back problems. Do MBT Shoes Work? What do you think?

I have a them and have given them to a couple patients as well.
While they are slightly over-hyped and are certainly not for everyone. I will insist that they actually do work as advertised -- to a degree anyhow.

When standing and walking back and forth on a concrete floor all day I definitely feel a reduction in stress on knees...

Upon more extensive wear, while they still work, I would be inclined to say it is as much because they remind you that you are supposed to have good posture as it is becuse the really change all that much....still like them though.
