MBT believes in footwear that makes you better from the ground up. MBT: The idea of Physiological Footwear
MBT, Masai Barefoot Technology, was invented by Swiss engineer Karl Müller. During a visit to Korea he made the startling discovery that walking barefoot over paddy fields alleviated his back pain. Back in Switzerland, Müller began to develop a footwear technology that would make the natural instability of soft ground such as Korean paddy fields or the East African savannah accessible also to those, who have to walk on hard surfaces. In 1996, after years spent on research and development, Masai Barefoot Technology was mature enough to be launched on the market.

the mbt’s were great for my knees and felt good walking on, but the top of the shoe started cutting into the top of my foot.
the shoe is also weighs alot.
lastly, cooler styles are needed.
if these changes are made i would definitely buy a new pair.

I have a lot of leg, foot and lower back issues due to severe bone breaks several years ago. These are the only shoes that allow me to walk pain-free for hours at a time. I have a new spring to my step and my posture is corrected wearing this shoe. The shoe cushions the entire body well. Actually, this shoe feels like a sneaker. I would not purchase this model as a dress shoe as it’s more for casual wear. The black color hides the large outsole. With other colors (brown), the large outsole is more visible. This years model(s) sport(s) the new low-profile outsole which looks better than the previous years model(s). As the other reviewer noted, this is a heavy shoe. Every pair of MBT I own is heavy – this is three pairs total. I would rate this a five out of five, but the weight and styling bring it down a star. However, the feel is remarkable! Sometimes one has to sacrifice style for comfort!
