Masai Barefoot Technology (Masai Shoes)

Masai shoes use the so-called Masai Barefoot Technology. Swiss Masai AG (Switzerland) produces them.

Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) is a concept of footwear that allegedly helps make people walk as nature planned.

The idea behind MBT is to imitate walking barefoot, copying the gait of the Masai people.

Masai shoes have a bulky shape with a cutaway heel. This revolutionary approach changes the hard surface into uneven ground like walking in sand.

MBT shoes have been in the market since 1996. It is supposed that, the Masai people of East Africa have provided practical proof of the helpfulness of this technology for thousands of years.

The Maasai rarely experience joint and back pain and they enjoy stable health and outstanding athletic ability.

Swiss engineer Karl Muller discovered the secret of the Masai. The secret is that walking barefoot on soft and natural ground means that they have to balance their bodies with each step.

Masai shoes are meant to make the natural instability of soft surfaces available to people who move on hard ground.
