MBT Masai Technology

  • Masai Sensor: An elliptical section underneath the heel called the 'Masai Sensor' creates the pleasant feeling of walking on a sandy beach or mossy surface which produces natural instability that causes the body to react with increased muscle activity.

  • Shank: TPU and Glass fiber shank provides firmness and ensures natural rolling movement of the foot

  • PU Midsole with Pivot: For balancing, in the PU midsole underneath the metatarsus a large number of stabilizing muscles are activated while walking and standing.
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 now available in over twenty countries, and approximately one million pairs of this revolutionary footwear technology are sold every year.
