Masai Barefoot Technology is the first physiological footwear

by Administrator | post a comment

As part of my daily exercise and fitness plan I walk almost every evening – especially in Spring and Autumn. I love just wandering the neighborhood and checking out everyone’s garden and landscaping. If I like what I see, maybe I’ll copy it! LOL In the summer, I take longer walks down by the lake and at local forest preserves.

On his return to Switzerland, Muller started researching shoe technology and body architecture. In the course of his research, he found references to the Masai tribe in Central Africa, who have a reputation for walking long distances without rest or fatigue. Once again, he noted that the Masai typically walk barefoot on a soft, springy surface. He developed a theory that the instability of walking on surfaces like sand, peat moss or soft earth contributes to better posture and improved muscle strength.

Masai barefoot technology is the theory behind the MBT rocker bottom shoe made by MBT Shoes, a Swiss company. The creator of MBT Lami Purple Mary Jane Shoes  is a Swiss engineer, Karl Muller. Muller suffered from chronic back and knee pain and had resigned himself to living with it for the rest of his life. On a vacation in Southeast Asia in the early 1990s, Muller realized that his back and knee pain had virtually disappeared. In retrospect, he realized that the biggest difference in his life over the previous weeks had been the surface on which he walked every day--soft, springy moss in the paddy fields.

The shoes are called MBT's, short for Masai Barefoot Technology. It is the first physiological footwear, meaning it benefits the whole structural system of the body, so it's not just working on the feet, but also working on the structural system like circulation and different muscle groups. Arguably, a shoe that is ideal for people with joints problems or those who want a fully body workout, or those that even want to remove cellulite. It doesn't feel like a workout, which is the beauty of the Black Women's MBT Lami shoes. All you have to do is wear it.
