MBT white sport sneaker
Conventional shoes constrain and control the foot, stabilizing the body in an unnatural way.
With its special sole construction the MBT creates a natural soft surface. The natural instability underneath the feet ensures that neglected muscle groups automatically make the balancing movements that nature intended.
These activated muscles relieve the pressure on joints and discs while walking, and making a passive gait, such as in conventional shoes, impossible. Every step taking with MBT physiological footwear acts like a tiny fitness exercise. Even standing has a training effect on muscles, relieves joint strain and stabilizes the whole musculo-skeletal system.
filet of 'sole'
The revolutionary sole construction of MBT places the body in a natural instability that can otherwise only be achieved by walking barefoot on natural, soft surface. MBT relieves stress on joints, exercises muscles and thus strengthens the entire musculo-skeletal system-all these effects results from the interplay of the following components:
1. Insole
2. Shank: The TPU and glass fibre shank provides the necessary firmness for the sole construction. It also ensures a natural rolling movement of the foot with every step and optimizes the pressure distribution over the whole sole
3. PU midsole with pivot: The balancing section integrated in the PU midsole underneath the metatarsus requires an active rolling movement with every step and activates a large number of stabilizing muscles throughout the whole body both when walking and standing.
4. Masai Sensor: The Masai Sensor is the heart of MBT. It produces a pleasant feeling reminiscent of walking on a sandy beach or on soft moss-and creates the natural instability to which the body automatically reacts with increased muscle activity.
5. Outsole
