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.

MBTs are the greatest! As a nurse, I am on my feet for 12 hours/day. I was having difficulty with back, knee, and foot pain. My coworkers urged me to try a pair. The MBTs allow me to work pain free. It takes about two seconds to get used to them, and they are worth every penny. And, the last longer than regular sneaks.

About six years ago, I bought a pair of MBTs (the higher version of the sports shoe) and fell in love with them. It is finally time to replace them and I chose the sports lows. While it\'s a nice shoe, and the fit was true (I wear a 7 and size 37 fit perfectly), the heel slips. Thicker socks did not help, so I sent them back. I\'m trying a different model now. Much thanks to Zappos for being so awesome about exchanges!

Ugly though they are, I have to wear my MBT sandals if I want to shop malls or trudge through airports. I decided to try to find an enclosed shoe for winter and ordered several pairs. (Thanks,Zappos!) After reading reviews, I ordered 1/2 size larger. With this shoe, the length was perfect. However, MBT says all their shoes are made on the same last. Not so! This shoe had no toe wiggle room, something I need (ingrown toenails and cyst on a knuckle). Other than that, this shoe was so comfortable (good arch support!), but I have to send it back. (Thanks again, Zappos!)

I didn't know about MBT shoes until I saw a fitness director and others wearing them at a gym. When asked how they liked their MBTs, the reply was always, "They're great!" It took me a long time to come around to thinking it was even possible that a pair of shoes could benefit me sufficiently to be worth that price. If I had gone with the Sport Lows sooner, I would have avoided some tendinitis that I brought on by wearing lesser shoes and walking a big flea market! Also, my kitchen has a tile floor that's very hard on feet and back, but these shoes have so much cushion and support that it no longer bothers me! Getting used to the MBT concept for me was not a problem and the shoes were comfortable straight from the box. I especially like the lacing system and comfy shoe tongue styling. I measure size 7-1/2 and these in 7-1/2 fit perfectly. My thinking on the future is why would I ever want to switch from MBT for my standard shoe. Price? Maybe, but the quality is such they will wear well and I honestly like the look and the feel of walking in these shoes. Add me to the Zappos fans; they had the size, color and style that I had searched for in two cities, and their service is personable and a cut above.

After a bad auto accident 8 years ago I was barely walking. Three years ago I discovered MBTs and they have changed my life. Of course I still can't walk very far, but am now independent enough to drive and then walk from a handicap parking space into an electric cart in a store. I have introduced MBTs to many people who have also been greatly helped by them. I can only wear a few styles as I need deep heel and toe boxes (have to build the right shoe up 5/8"). The Sport Low has those features, plus they do not rub the place on my ankle where I have pins and rods. Zappos is helpful over the phone, courteous, carry all MBT styles and deliver promptly.

I have been walking with these shoes for approximately 3 weeks. I love what it is doing for my legs and bottom, the only complaint is I am still getting blisters after every 3 mile walk. But still worth the little pain. The feeling you get after walking with this shoes gives you a feel of satisfaction you walked and are getting results. I will eventually get myself a black pair to match my walking gear. Thanks to the genius that came up with such a shoe.

I love my MBTs. I was really unsure weather I should buy a pair seeing as they are a bit pricey, but they are worth every penny. I was training to run a marathon, but that came to a standstill when my knee gave out on me. My Mother would not stop talking about the difference the MBTs had made for her. She went from having spurs on her heels which made walking her dogs impossible without pain, to being able to walk three miles at a time with no discomfort. On account of this change she lost eighteen pounds. I decided to give them a try and I am so glad I did. I no longer have knee pain and I can walk for ten miles at a time with no discomfort. I hope to start training for the marathon again. I don't recommend running with these shoes, which is why I will be using a different pair of shoes for marathon training, but these are great for brisk walking. I do want to mention that after doing quite of bit of research about the difference between the Skechers Shape-Ups and the MBTs, I went with the MBTs. I noticed when I tried on the Shape-Ups at the store and walked in them for a bit that my feet had very little support and seemed to sink into them. Yes, they were more comfortable then a regular tennis shoe, but they basically just felt like the only difference was the foam. So in short though they are cheaper than the MBTs, I am really glad I chose as I did.

I totally love these shoes. They have helped my hip and knee pain tremendously. I highly recommend these shoes. Wish they would make a little dressier one this comfortable for women to wear for dress. I train for BeautiControl and stand for 8 hours and would love to wear these while training so I'm not as exhausted at the end of the day!

These are really nice shoes, but they run narrow. I'd suggest a half to a full size larger than the size you usually wear.

As a nurse with a bad back, I have found that these shoes do everything they say they do. I'm so satisfied with them, that I just bought 2 more pairs: dress and hiking. I thought I would have a hard time adjusting to them, but not so. As soon as I put them on, it was pure comfort and support. I cannot say enough good things about them. I will always wear MBT shoes whether it's work, play or business. They really take the stress off of my back.

Love them! I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. I was going through new shoes every 3 months. I suffer from morton's neuroma and it is not easy to find shoes that do not irritate. I have the same pair of MBTs now for 3 years! I need to get the soles replaced, but other than that... they are a "foot saver"! There are imitations out there now, but I will never buy anything but MBTs!

So far I really like these shoes. I found they did run a size small. They felt weird at first, but today after 13 hours at work, my back didn't hurt like it usually does. Really does help with your posture, too.

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.
