Product Description
NOTE: All MBT's will be processed & shipped in 1-4 days after your order is placed. No charges will be applied until your order has shipped. MBT's are not just a shoe in the ordinary sense. This product will not only change the way you use your muscles, but will improve the use of your joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk. With each step we take, pressure acts on the foot. MBT's distribute this load evenly, which prevents ailments that can be caused by the concentration of pressure on individual points. Masai Barefoot Technology in Everyday Use: Train muscles, burn calories, protect joints ... while you're doing something else. Shopping, in the office, at home. MBT's act as training equipment, every step of the way. The more you wear MBT's the more your body will feel the benefits. Masai Barefoot Technology is used in Sports: Many professional athletes rely on MBT's for regeneration, prevention and accelerated healing of injuries and in endurance and coordination training. MBT's are perfect for jogging and for training but not for competitions. Masai Barefoot Technology for Medical Applications: MBT's can contribute significantly to alleviating a variety of ailments, and many doctors and physiotherapists like to use them to treat patient. With its special sole construction the MBT places the body in a natural instability which is being compensated by a balancing movement. Stress on joints is relieved by activating the joint near and stabilizing muscle groups. The result is an erect, natural and biomechanical correct gait. MBT can help with back, hip, leg and foot problems as well with medical conditions regarding the muscles, ligaments and tendons.

 great shoes but no arch support September 1, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love these shoes but there is no arch support at all! I feel my body working in a different way due to the "barefoot technology" but I can also feel my arches, which are high, beginning to stretch and possibly fall. I still wear them almost every day. They have to be better than the flip-flops I was wearing.
Great Shoes August 16, 2008

Great way to improve your posture. If you're into Yoga at all, these just add to the strengthening of your core. These are not magical weight loss products, but you will definitely feel a difference in your stride and posture.
Back pain? GONE! August 6, 2008
I've been wearing these shoes for 2 1/2 years. I bought them because I hoped it would help me with my daily back pain (I was taking antiinflamatories on a daily basis). Let me also tell you that I'm active. I'm used to aerobic exercise, and I'm fit. Running is my passion and I didn't want to give it up. It was like this, I would wake up pain free, would run on the treadmil and stretch, run some errands and there she was the back pain. Then she'll visit with me till the end of the day. Of course it kept getting worse, till the point I would get out of bed pain free and after walking around the house a little bit there she was the back pain waiting on me to keep me company for the rest of the day.
I was researching on the internet when I bumped into these shoes. Actually I was looking for some Birkenstocks when I found MBTs. I was so desperate to come up with a solution for my back pain that I made my husband drive me to Texas, about 70 miles far from where I live, to Frisco so that I could get them that very same day. I didn't want having to wait for the MTBs being shipped and stuff.
They advise you to get started little by little and there is a DVD and a pamphlet that cames along with instructions. Anyway, I put MBTs on and got out of the store, did grocery shopping and the relief was so big I wore the shoes for the rest of the day. Next day I put them on when I woke up (literally) and ever since I've wore it for 2 years straight. Sandals in the summer and sneakers in the winter. I like the sandals best. No more pain, no more pills. Although I am fit, my legs got a little bit tired during the first week or so because you start using muscles that might have never been requested before. In the past 6 months I haven't been wearing them as often, I just walk on them when I exercise on the treadmil (running on them is pretty tough, it's like running on very soft sand) and I also make sure I have them on when cleanning the house and traveling. These sandals are just perfect for traveling. I'm brazilian married to an american, so I visit my country often and a 10 hour flight can get your feet pretty swollen. Studies show that you still maintain your good posture for 2 or 3 days when not wearing the MBTs.
Bottom line, they took my back pain away for good. I was told they might loose their cushioning after a year but no. Good quality shoes, I'm still wearing the first pair of sandals and sneakers I bought. As far as muscular improvement I havent' noticed much since I was already fit when I started wearing them. I've seen websites that would advertise the fact that these shoes improve your celulite and things like that. MBT Company is very serious and doesn't mention anything like that. I know that some fancy spas do sell them. MBTs are bulky and heavier than normal shoes but nevertheless very comfortable.
When you find something that takes your pain away like I found relief in these pair of shoes, you stick with it.
Black sandle is too expensive. Buy the brown, it is $139.00. July 5, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been looking all over the internet for the MBT Kisumu Black sandal and found them to be over $235.00. I could not find any price that was anywhere near the price of the MBT Kisumu Brown sandal at $139.00. The shoe is the same style, with the only difference being the color. I wanted the black, but settled for the brown. When the brown sandals get to dirty looking, I can clean them, and if that doesn't work, I can put liquid shoe stain on them and change the color to dark brown or black. I think that this may be a solution to the problem of a high price for black MBT sandals.
