MBT shoes, or Anti shoes as they are otherwise known, was the first brands to adopt a rocker bottom design to ease the strain on the joints, get the muscles working harder and correct the posture. The shoes were first produced in 1996, and have won many fans for the pain relief they offer, making walking comfortable once more. The shoes simulate walking barefoot in soft sand, which has long been known to offer great wellness benefits to the body.

The shoes feature Masai Barefoot Technology in the midsole which activates more muscles when walking, stretching stretch the feet and conditioning the muscles to help ease plantar fasciitis symptoms, and preventing the painful foot conditioning from developing in the first place. The shoes provide excellent cushioning to reduce the strain on the joints, and improve walking efficiency to prevent the muscles from early fatigue.

In contrast to many rocker bottom soled shoes, the outsoles in MBT shoes are rigid to ensure the maximum movement throughout the foot stride cycle. The heel is cushioned on impact, and starts a gentle roll to the toes, stretching and activating muscles throughout the stride. The outsole design promotes a faster pace of walking to get more cardiovascular benefits from walking and pressure on the joints in the feet is greatly reduced.

The shoes offer more orthopaedic posture correction than most toning shoes, and they are some of the most beneficial to health of any on the market. In contrast to most toning sneakers, the construction of the shoes is designed to go the distance. Whereas EVA foam breaks down over time, and the soft soled toning shoes need to be replaced frequently, whereas MBT shoes will keep you toning and correcting the posture long after other toning shoes have become landfill.

The shoes are at the upper end of the price range, however for the extra money you get a tried and trusted design, high quality uppers, and shoe styles to suit all occasions. The range features toning sandals, toning shoes, toning sneakers, off road toning shoes, toning shoes for the workplace and every style and design imaginable. Guaranteed to outlast other toning shoes, over time they offer excellent value for money, and the perfect start to a new, healthy and more active lifestyle.

MBT Shoes have been worn now for over 14 years, enabling long term studies to be conducted into their effectiveness. Over time the shoes prove to be highly beneficial to the body, helping to ease joint pain and make walking a much lower impact exercise. They increase muscle tone, boost the blood circulation and correct the posture to prevent slouching and have some of the most comprehensive range of wellness benefits of any toning shoes currently on the market.
