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. MBTs are n… More about this product >>

These shoes are great. I felt a little tippy when I started wearing them, but now I can’t wait to wear them. I am on my feet most of the day and i notice how much energy I have after a full day of wearing these shoes. One caution: no traction on snow or ice.

I got these in the mail a few days ago and think they are clunky cute, love how they feel when I walk and can feel different muscles being used when I walk in them as compared to barefoot or ‘normal’ shoes.
However, they run small my length is a perfect size six and I bought one size up and they just fit. I also am no able to wear them for more than about 30 minutes at a time because I need to break them in enough for my fat little feet to feel comfortable. I’ve never had a problem with Mary Jane’s before but I think the special insert pushes my foot up just enough that it’s a bit tight – and I don’t want to go up another size because then they will be too big on me. I wish the bed of the shoe was a tiny bit deeper.
Other than the sizing issues these are awesome shoes, they feel good when walking, I feel my posture improve while I have them on and I used different leg muscles when I walk in them.

I also have a pair of mbt athletic shoes and the mary janes are even more comfortable.

I love these shoes. I have a narrow foot and was forewarned to order this shoe one size larger than my normal size. They are a bit wide for me, but I wear socks and they truly are amazing. I can walk in them all day — my feet feel as if they’re walking on clouds.

This shoe increases your body awareness. It should not be worn while performing manual work i.e. lifting and placing or extended reaching if you are a new user. Great for walking and standing for an extended period of time.
