I learned of a shoe brand today I was unfamiliar with – MBT shoes. I’m curious about them because even though I’m no shoe lover or shoe expert, I thought they looked a little umm, unusual. The description on the site says that MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. The site also describes the shoes as being designed to improve your orthopedic health, correct posture and increase muscle activity and circulation. So. I’m hoping one of my readers has tried these shoes and can answer this question. Are they worth the $200 or higher price tag?

I purchased a pair of the MBT Shoes called the M.Walk. When I received them, I was a bit thrown back on how weird they looked. They looked clunky and huge. I put them on and was instantly feeling weird. They rock back and forth, due to the curved sole. But after a few minutes of wearing these MBT’s, I became used to the weird motion and began to walk around. They actually felt really good. Walking felt better from some reason. As you walk, the shoe actually propels you in a correct fashion. When standing still, you feel more upright and my back felt more straight. I paid a lot for them, but thus far, pain seems to be going down and I feel a bit better. Worth the investment.
