MBT The Beginning

In the late nineties MBT started a crusade.

They realized that the human body is simply not built to walk or stand on hard, flat surfaces. They also discovered that conventional shoes stabilize the body in such a way that the body’s supporting muscle system is neglected.

MBT wanted to make the world aware that our health is significantly influenced by the way we walk. They were determined to develop something that would continuously stimulate the postural and stabilizing muscles of the whole body. They knew they had to be radical to be successful.

Because MBT is totally different we refused to call it a shoe:

• Its sole is curved, not flat.
• It is unstable, not stable.
• It activates your muscles instead of undermining them.
• It has a positive effect on the entire body, not just the feet.

MBT considers it their mission to make people all over the world aware of the benefits of MBT and to help them live healthier and better lives.

MBT hopes you will join their crusade.
