Awhile back I heard about MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) sneakers from a friend who swears by them, and I was intrigued. MBT sneakers have special multi-layered soles that are designed to change the way you walk, so you workout your entire body while you wear them. They’re supposed to tone your legs, back and stomach, and improve balance, posture, and varicose veins.
At around $250 per pair, they’re pricey but the reviews on Zappos are amazing. MBT’s are available in several different styles, colors, and heights.
Has anyone tried MBT sneakers? Are they really effective in helping you tone up?
I own a pair of MBT Sport Lows. They helped relieve some of my back pain due to scoliosis, improved my posture, and helped me walk properly. I recommend buying these shoes at a footwear specialist store such as Foot Solutions so they can fit you properly and advise you on how to walk in them. Just remember not to flex your toe when you kneel or crouch as you might break the fiberglass sole.
