Benefits of using MBT shoes

For running and even for walking, you need to have shoes that provide good support to the arches without giving pain or discomfort to the feet. Most of the runners and fitness enthusiasts have heard about rocker type soles and anti-shoes that help to improve walking style. MBT shoes the full form of which is Masai Barefoot Technology have multilayered sole especially designed to imitate a rocker type motion.

Karl Muller, a Swiss engineer, discovered the health benefits of walking barefoot on paddy fields. He wanted to use the same technology in footwear by creating a type of shoes that would produce the same effect as walking barefoot on uneven surface. The end result was MBT. Although at first, you may find it difficult to walk alone and require an external support but after sometime you will have no problem walking, running and even standing on MBT’s.

Why You Love to Wearing MBT Shoes???

1. Known as the world’s smallest gym, MBT shoes are said to be very good to heal back and joint pain as well as improve posture and balance.
2. They keep all foot muscles highly active throughout the day as long as you are in MBT’s.
3. MBT anti-shoes are known for the weight losing benefit where they help to burn the extra calories as you walk or run.
4. They also help to make your posture and gait improved by at least ten degrees.
5. They increase muscles activity in the buttock, rear thighs and the lower limbs.
6. They increase blood flow in the lower part of the legs.
7. MBT can intake more oxygen.
8. When you walk in MBT shoes, they increase venter inferior muscle activity.
9. Studies have also found MBT’s help to reduce stress on the hip and knee joints.
10. Even when standing with MBT, they help to increase muscle activities in the back, rear thigh, abdominal, buttock and lower limb.

Moreover, you cannot take long stride in MBTs. So you have to shorten your stride and jog. Short strides can benefit you in more than one way. For example, due to increase in muscle activation, a three mile jog will tire you out and work you out in a way that feels like a five mile jog. Since wearing MBT Shoe leads to reduced joint loading on knees and hips, jogging becomes much more pleasurable and comfortable.

MBTs also assist in upright stance with very cushioned insole and outer sole. Usually, joggers suffer from knee aches due to daily jogging due to the walking style being uneven side-to-side. For best results, you should use MBT signature footbed insole with arch and heel support to correct any kind of walking or running gait problems.

One of my uncles who were suffering from shin splint pain had to stop running. But, now he has resumed running. He bought a pair of MBT and wears it every day. MBTs combined with massage and acupuncture cured his splints and now he enjoys jog everyday with no pain.

Regular jogging can collapse your foot arches, damage your knees and hurt your back. So, you need to be careful with shoes and routines. The cushioning of MBT is excellent and the rolling of the foot is similar to the rolling action taught to soldiers when they take a significant fall.
