MBT Womens Habari Casual Sandal Review
I had to respond to the person who wrote a 2 star review because the shoes gave her blisters. Um, break in your shoes gently. This goes for any shoe.
I own these MBT's and I own two other pairs of MBTs. They are fantastic shoes, but they do need some gentle breaking in. They are made differently than other shoes and they will take a little getting used to. You'll need to wear them inside for a few days, here and there, to get used to the motion and get your muscles used to the shoes. They work your leg muscles differently than normal, so take it slow. Your feet won't sit the same way in these shoes as your other shoes. If you wear them every day, you'll be broken in within a week and won't have to worry about it any more.
So buy the MBTs if you like what they stand for, and break them in slowly. Soon you might not ever buy another brand of shoe. I now wear only my MBT's, my running shoes, and one pair of crocs around the house when I'm not going barefoot.
MBTs are great shoes and they will last you many years.
MBT: The idea of Physiological Footwear
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.
How the anti-shoe is pro-body:
Because of the specially designed sole, wearing MBTs significantly improves your gait and posture and relieves pressure on your joints and back. It also exercises a large number of muscles, whether you’re walking or standing. This, in turn, stimulates your metabolism, burns extra calories and speeds up muscle regeneration. In addition, MBTs can have a firming effect on abdominal, leg and buttock muscles.
The key to MBT is its patented sole structure.
The Shank, PU Midsole with Pivot and the Masai Sensor create a soft surface that is akin to walking barefoot on springy moss or on a sandy beach. This creates a natural instability underfoot, which activates the supporting muscle system and has positive effects on the entire body.
