MBT created a new kind of revolutionary footwear that can help increase muscle activation and improve posture and balance. Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) creates mild instability in the foot, forcing the body to compensate and use neglected muscle groups. Natural compensation of the minor instability helps improve posture and muscle tone, and even helps with back, hip, leg, foot and joint problems. The heart of MBT design is in the midsole, which incorporates 3 different sections: a soft, under-heel component (Masai Sensor), a balance component and shanks in the midsoles. Masai Sensor section under heels allows heel to naturally sink, much like walking on sand, promoting mild instability that the body counteracts with increased muscle activity. Polyurethane midsole balance area under insteps creates a smooth rolling transition from heel strike to toe-off, evenly distributing pressure along the foot. Thermoplastic rubber shanks provide support while encouraging the natural forward movement of the foot with each step. Mesh fabric uppers are flexible, abrasion resistant and offer top performance while looking great; polyester mesh panels help feet breathe.
