Designed by a Swiss engineer and inspired by watching how the members of the Masai tribes of Africa walk, The MBT M.Walk Shoes is part of the new line of MBT shoes which run slightly narrower, and have a slightly different feel. Gentle, active rolling instead of repeated compression leads to relaxed, natural standing and walking. Muscular tensions decrease and the muscles become more balanced. These shoes have all the benefits of the other styles like encouraging you to carry your weight more efficiently, promoting better posture, and creating a pleasant feeling of walking on a sandy beach. These shoes help improve posture, reuce back pain, and alleviate joint pressure. Benefiting the whole body, these shoes are truly a blessing. The versatility of the MBT M.Walk is another benefit. They are perfect for those with certain conditions like joint problems, but also challenging enough for avid fitness walkers looking for a boost to their workout.
