MBT Women's M. Walk Walking Shoe

From the Manufacturer
MBT shoes are physiological footwear--the first footwear that has a positive effect on the entire body. MBT stands for "Masai Barefoot Technology." Their innovative design includes a multi-layered, curved sole which makes for a unique and rewarding walking experience. 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. Wearing MBTs 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. Wearing MBT shoes can also be a therapeutic tool for back, hip, leg and foot problems. At MBT they don't believe in shoes. They believe in footwear that makes you better from the ground up.

Customer Reviews

All right shoes
So I'm not really sure if they really tone you but as far as posture goes I can tell that it does help. Super comfy! I can walk longer and not get tired. Buy them half size bigger as recommended. I love these shoes and plan on buying more MBTs in the future.

My legs were sore after the first day!
These shoes are great. I put them on the day I received them and have been using them on a daily basis since. I haven't been to the gym like I should since it's summer and we've been in "vacation" mode. However, I wear these every day and although my legs aren't like my old "runner's legs," they are toned. I don't feel the nasty jiggle I was feeling before.

I don't know if I've lost any inches, or cellulite like some claim to have lost, but, I do feel better when I wear them. They make me want to walk more.

There is a bit of a learning curve when you first wear them, but you will adapt quickly. I've learned that while I'm in the kitchen cooking, or anywhere I have to just stand around and wait, I can actually do little calf raises. So, you can even get a workout when standing in place.

My MBT Experience
The shoes are amazing and I can feel them working the glutes as well as the backs of my thighs and legs. As far as the vendor,they were incredible. I opted for the longer shipping time but received them the very next day at no cost! I would recommend the vendor, Shoe Parlor, and would use them again.
