The MBT shoes have been getting a lot of attention lately. They market themselves as the anti-shoe in that they are supposed to be the shoe you have when you don’t have shoe. The MBT Shoe has a rocker bottom that changes the way that the wearer walks. It is named after the Masai people of Africa who walk barefoot and have very upright postures and they never have any back or postural problems. The purpose of the MBT Shoe is to mimic the gait style of the Masai people (MBT = Masai Barefoot Technology). Do the MBT shoes work? Opinion is divided on the science that underpins the MBT shoes. There is no doubt that they do help some people, but equally they do seem to hurt other people. The MBT shoes makes the muscles work differently in the lower limb giving a training effect. This training effect from the MBT shoe can be very beneficial in many people.
