MBT shoes are a new walking shoe

MBT shoes are a new walking shoe to hit the scene they have been getting a lot of press, as of late, so I thought I would take a closer look at these walking shoes to see what they offer. For a moment, think about how many steps you take everyday. Now, think about how long you stand still everyday. Many do not know this, but every step you take puts about 500 pounds of pressure on your feet. That’s a lot of miles and a lot of pressure. Isn’t it worth your while to get a walking shoe with all the comfort and support you can muster?

The concept for MBT walking shoes stems from studying the walking habits of the Masai tribe in Africa. The Masai are a semi-nomadic tribe whose lives center on tending to their cattle and hunting. A consequence of this is that they walk very long distances on a daily basis. It was discovered that as they walk on the natural uneven terrain they develop toned and lean leg muscles, have a perfect posture, and suffer a minimal amount of back and joint problems. The MBT walking shoes actually imitate the terrain the Masai walk on and turn the hard and uneven surfaces that we walk on everyday, into the soft and natural ground of the Masai. This causes the muscles to work harder and become the natural shock absorbers they were destined to be, in addition to protecting the back and joints.
