It’s not often I write a "commercial" for a product. In fact, I have never done it before. But I am making an exception for MBT’s. MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. They are a form of footwear developed to help people with joint pain, but they also assist with general fitness and weight loss through exercising underused muscles.

 

Their creator suffered badly with back pain. He noticed that when he walked on soft soil, the pain wasn’t nearly as bad. By studying the imprint left by his feet in sand, he calculated the correct “footprint” that the sole of a shoe really needs to compensate for the fact that these days we do most of our walking on hard, flat surfaces. He concluded it was the same footprint left by the barefooted Masai who walk miles over sand carrying heavy loads without any of the backache and other pains the rest of us are prone to. The result was MBT’s, with their unique curving sole and spongy texture.

 

I admit to feeling skeptical about them at first, as they are a high ticket item and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a useless fad. My husband suffers from chronic knee pain, due to kick boxing in his youth, and is on his feet all day cutting hair, so I said I’d buy him a pair for his birthday to see if they helped him. He tried them on and said they felt comfortable, but "funny". He did feel an immediate improvement in his knees. He put his old shoes back on, walked a few steps in them, and ripped them off again. He put the MBT’s back on and has never worn his old shoes again. He can even jog again.

 

I have found that they help my back, they are firming up my butt and thighs, and assisting me to lose weight. Because it is more comfortable to walk in them, I am exercising more and grumbling less. I don’t have shares in the company – but I wish I did!
