The name MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology was inspired by the Masai tribe who walk very long distances barefoot. Due to the terrain they develop toned, lean leg muscles,perfect posture and virtually no back and joint complaints.
I’m not sure if the shoes will be that good… but I was prepared to give them a try.
In the shop, the assistant had clearly been trained to properly fit them. I told her my shoe size and she brought down a pair that were a size smaller – they need to fit snugly. She also told me that she had worn her MBT Karibu out and was saving up for a new pair (MBT Shoes aren’t cheap – mine were ￡145.) She showed me how to walk, and made sure I was properly kitted out. She also advised me not to wear them intensively at first – but build up to it as the shoes involve all sorts of muscles that, in my current state, I wouldn’t have used for years. (She told me a story of a woman who, on her first day, wore MBT Couples Shoes all day shopping in London. The following day, she couldn’t move…) Certainly, after a few minutes I could tell that some of my muscles weren’t used to the attention.
