Before I start, I have to tell everyone that I have never had a pair of MBT shoes or any other type of special walking shoes before. My interest in these specific shoes derives from the fact that I work on my computer constantly, and have begun to get some back pains and pains in my joints. Since it is needed to have the shoes before I can really review them, I have decided to join the new fitness revolution and purchase a pair of these new MBT shoes. MBT is short for Masai Barefoot Technology and the footwear is designed to copy walking on a beach in the sand. It's a multiple layered, curved sole that obtains this by creating a natural, but uneven walking surface. This Masai technology is meant to make the core strengthening muscles more active, producing better posture, better back strength and increasing shock absorption for all of the joints. It also makes wearing these walking shoes quite a unique experience to say the least, and quite a workout. I purchased a pair of the MBT's called the sport white. When I received them, I was a bit thrown back on how weird they looked. They looked clunky and huge. I put them on and was instantly feeling weird. They rock back and forth, due to the curved sole. But after a few minutes of wearing these MBT's, I became use to the weird motion and began to walk around. They actually felt really good. Walking felt better from some reason. As you walk, the shoe actually propels you in a correct fashion. When standing still, you feel more upright and my back felt more straight. I have been wearing them now for half a year and I can honestly say that I am extremely pleased with the quality of this walking shoe. The positive changes I have seen in my back pain since I began wearing the MBT shoes is remarkable. I feel better and healthier and think this walking shoe has really helped my posture. I can look back and say that I am reaping some benefits from wearing these shoes and highly recommend them.
