The MBT ,stands for Masai Barefoot Technology ,is very famous in Europe and in the United States .But do you know them? Now let me introduce the MBT trainers shoes to you .
The history of MBT trainers shoes
MBT have been available on the market since 1996. But practical proof of the effectiveness of this technology has been provided for thousands of years by the Masai, a semi-nomadic tribe from East Africa. Joint and back pain are mostly unknown among them, they enjoy stable health and remarkable athletic ability. The secret of the Masai was discovered by Swiss engineer Karl Muller.
But Muller did found this untle when he was in Korea. Whenever he suffered from back pain he walked barefoot over paddy fields - which quickly relieved his complaints. He tried to understand this perplexing observation - and stumbled across the secret of the Masai.
After his return to Switzerland Karl Muller began to develop a footwear technology that would make the natural instability of soft surfaces accessible to people forced to move on hard ground. Over many years of research and development "Masai Barefoot Technology" was perfected to the stage where it was ready to be introduced to the market.
How the anti-shoe is pro-body:
Because of the specially designed sole, wearing MBT walking shoes significantly improves your gait and posture and relieves pressure on your joints and back. It also exercises a large number of muscles, whether you're walking or standing. This, in turn, stimulates your metabolism, burns extra calories and speeds up muscle regeneration. In addition, MBTs can have a firming effect on abdominal, leg and buttock muscles.
The key to MBT is its patented sole structure.
The Shank, PU Midsole with Pivot and the Masai Sensor create a soft surface that is akin to walking barefoot on springy moss or on a sandy beach. This creates a natural instability underfoot, which activates the supporting muscle system and has positive effects on the entire body.
MBT technology mimicks walking in barefeet.
Wearing MBT mimicks walking on soft, natural ground.
When the heel strikes, the heel sinks into the ground and the body has to stabilize. When the foot rolls forward, there is a controlled rolling over the balancing area towards the ball of the foot. The toe rolls off (without pressure).
MBT's ensure the foot's natural rolling movement and optimizes pressure distribution over the whole sole.
The Benefits of Wearing MBT Shoes
MBT walking shoes are designed to counteract the effects of walking on hard surfaces by simulating the experience of walking barefoot in soft sand or springy moss. The MBT technology encourages the body to use neglected muscles, and not just those in the feet. Here's how:
The foot is designed to support the weight of the body when walking and standing. When we walk naturally, the heel strikes the ground first, absorbing the majority of the impact. Our feet then roll forward, spreading the impact over the entire body of the foot, which is designed to do exactly that. When we walk on soft surfaces - and keep in mind that most natural surfaces are soft and resilient - our entire bodies shift to provide stability and maintain balance. Walking on an unstable surface encourages your body to use the core muscles to maintain the proper balance and posture.
In addition, wearing MBT walking shoes force your leg and foot muscles to work differently. When you walk in MBT footwear, your foot rocks and your calf muscles do the job that they were meant to do - stabilize your gait so that you can remain upright and keep your balance. That changes the way that other muscles in your body interact with each other. Infrared scans of bodies walking in MBT shoes show that the muscles in the backs of their thighs, their buttocks and even in their abdomens work harder. Because your muscles are working harder, your body is burning more calories when you walk in MBT shoes.
