Even though the barefoot shoes has been out there for some years by now, it's these last years that it has become a well known training gadget.
So, what is really a barefoot shoes about? Can it improve posture, eliminate cellulites, and even help control diabetes, like they claim it can?
Many big studies have been done on the shoe and it really seem like the medical benefits of MBT's are proven. It's used as a rehabilitation mean among physiotherapists, often used for rehab by sports men and women suffering from tension injuries. When using the Masai sport shoe, you use your body in a way that you don't use when walking in regular trainers, so therefore, your body will get more firm if you use them every day.
Developed by the engineer Karl Muller, who had been ill in back pain injuries for decades, the shoe makes your foot make the same movement it would when walking on a soft surface, like sand.
When Karl Muller started to invent the shoe, he took inspiration from the African Masais people, that are known for their strong bodies and upright postures. Even if they are walking long distances they don't suffer from any back pain. Muller researched this factor, and from that study he developed the MBT shoe.
When trying them on for the first time, it does feel a bit unsteady, until you get used walking with them. Before walking long distances with them, get used to them bit by bit, because you can get quite sore muscles if you don't take it quite easy at first.
You will walk more upright, strengthens the stomach muscles, improving your posture. That's very beneficial for those with back and neck pain.
