MBT sandals are the first physiological footwear. Masai Barefoot Technology is patented worldwide. Physiological footwear denotes shoes that have a number of positive effects not only on the foot but on the whole body. So while you are out playing with your children at a nearby park or walking down a crowded boardwalk with a partner, your shoes are transforming your body and the way you walk. You will slowly start to see the way you walk change.

What is the secret behind the effective footwear and how does it influence my body? MBT sandals activate the whole body. They create a natural instability underfoot, which stimulates and exercises the body's supporting muscle system.

With each step we take, immense pressure pushes down on the foot and these shoes help to displace that pressure evenly across the whole foot instead of just on the heel and the ball of your feet. The shoes actually make you take smaller steps while you walk. This has a chain reaction through your whole body as the weight of your body is taken off of a few of your joints and absorbed by your whole body instead. This creates an overall wellness in your body that wasn't there before.

These shoes make your body work harder without you feeling it, so many people are worried about excessive sweating in their shoes. These sandals also have a unique lining that easily draws away moisture from your feet so that you are not having to deal with stinky feet or any of the bacteria created foot problems.
