How does it work?
Through its unique design of its multilayered sole, MBT transforms flat, hard, artificial surfaces into natural uneven surfaces, simulating the walking action of our barefoot ancestors.
Unlike most conventional training shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction of MBT challenges the sole, and the muscles used to form your posture, to be more active.
Walking more upright not only looks better but automatically makes us healthier and stronger. The back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient. MBT lengthens and strengthens the whole body while standing, walking or in gentle running.
Increased input-response makes it easier for the musculature to react adequately. After ground contact there is a rolling movement, starting from a negative heel position (1). This creates a pre-stretch of the calf muscles. The straightening of the body, the balancing on the mid-foot (2) and the pull-through of the step to the back (3) initiates a rotation, which follows through the whole body. This results in an active and natural posture and gait.

MBT Chapa in Chili - These are really nice MBTs! Beautiful nubuck leather and mesh fabric. It pains me to have to return them because I love this color style so much, but I found that they run a half size too small. For reference, I own the MBT Sport Low and wear a 9.5 in that shoe. I did find a different color style of the Chapa in a size 10 at a local store and paid a lot more for them than here at Zappos, but they do fit and are very comfortable. Highly recommend this MBT shoe; just size up.

MBT Review - These are my third pair. Very comfortable. Can walk and run for hours. I bought these because they don't look like a sneaker.

I love MBTs and have owned other pair. However, this toebox is narrower than others and has given me corns on both feet, which have limited my ability to wear them. Disappointing, since they are a major investment! If you tend toward B+ width, I'd go up a 1/2 size or choose a model with a wider toebox.

I was fooled! I was fooled by the hype for these shoes!! Every time I wear them to walk 30 minutes a day, I get huge blisters (even with blister bandages) on the back of my heels, and my feet go NUMB after walking in them for 15 minutes!! I have had others watch me walk to make sure I was walking in them correctly and I have been, but I continue to have problems!! I have high arches, and knee problems. These shoes were recommend to me by several different people in different fields of work claiming that they really helped them. Well, after wearing them now for 3 months, trying to "break" them in, etc., I have come to the conclusion that the claims on these shoes are nothing but "hype". I would not recommend these shoes even to my dog (who has hip problems)!

Fabulous - I bought these shoes to wear to work. I am a runner and have developed "bad" knees... not only do I wear the shoes to work, but I wear them ALL the time! I NEVER experience knee pain while I am wearing the shoes. WELL worth the money.

MBT Chapa - I love my sport low MBTs so much that I decided to get another style -- the Chapa style seemed a little bit tighter in the toe box, and had a higher counter (the part with the tab at the back of the ankle) than the sport low, so I needed to break them in. Only after 1 week, I was able to walk 3-5 miles... they are lovely and comfy just like my sport low style... I really like these as well...

I absolutely love this shoe! Walking and hiking can be painful for me because of my Plantar Fasciitis but with these MBT's, I feel no pain!!! Very cushy bottoms and no impact or pressure on my heels. I can't wait to get outside and walk now because of my MBT's. Oh, the shoe's heel is a bit stiff and takes some wearing in. Didn't cause blisters, just stiff.

Greatest Walking Shoe Ever! This is my second pair. I wore the treads on the first pair smooth. Makes a HUGE difference in you walking routine - the results are truly amazing - I am 58 and know what I'm talking about! Tones your legs and but, and makes the miles you walk burn those calories! I will never be without a pair! By 1/2 size larger than your dress shoes.

Rock'n Roll mobility! Well, they probably aren't for everyone, but for me they are GREAT! I've had extensive surgery and I no longer have a heel strike or toe off... that is until I put on these shoes. They do what my feet and ankles can't; therefore I now have a normal gait. I rated the "look" a 5, because they are well manufactured and there's is no way to cover-up the sole, without loosing the function they provide. Without their look they wouldn't be MBT! By the way, I don't need my orthotics with this shoe... it is ideal for the pronated foot!

MBT, Masai Barefoot Technology, is the brainchild of Swiss engineer Karl Müller. While visiting Korea Müller discovered that walking on paddy fields barefoot eliminated his back pain. Upon returning to Switzerland, Müller started to develop a shoe that would duplicate the feeling of walking over those paddy fields, sand or any other soft natural terrain. It took several years but in 1996 MBT shoes were ready to be released to the world. Since then, MBT shoes are now sold in over twenty countries and sell approximately 1,000,000 pairs a year.
