Have you heard of the new shape up shoes or trainers that claimed to have the multi-function and will bring a new lifestyle? Well it sounds interesting and I am curious that what I will find by this shape up shoes—MBT.

MBT, short for Masai Barefoot Technology, is claimed to be versatile footwear. These shape up shoes can tone you body whilst you are wearing them and walking. It really sound like a dream come true that you will get toned body just when walking the dog, walking to the shops, work or just out for a stroll or even wearing them around the house whilst doing your house work and chores. However, do they really work? There is a unique design in sole that can give us better balance, more movement and correct our posture. All these benefits come from a sensor, or a roll bar in the sole just under the heel. When wearing these shoes, you will feel like walking on the sandy beach or a mossy surface. By activating the unused muscles in the feet, these shoes can really make you take smaller steps, stepping onto a slightly bent knee and then pushing off with a straight leg that activates your hamstrings and gluteal muscles which are associated with your buttocks.

Thus these shoes, they say, can then exercise our muscles in a gentle form of workout like simply walking. These MBT shape up shoes have an unstable sole that will really support the middle of the feet. The sole is designed to be unstable to create barefoot walking effect. They can easily rock you backwards and forwards. This can provide the great balance training and affects the whole posture and get the better posture and gait. Usually we are taught to stand up tall, keep shoulders back and your tummy in. Well if you stand in front of the mirror at home, you will find that to get the proper figure, it is really necessary to get our abdomen and stomach muscles strong to assist us to do this by themselves and that means improving our posture and exercising and strengthening these muscles to do that. All we need will just be realized by this shoes that not only work on the heels and toes but the whole body. Indeed that is why this MBT shoe is called shape up shoe and brings the new lifestyle.

Therefore, if all the said above is true, MBT shoes are really worth a try. However, be enjoyable in these shape up shoes and only the wear can tell what the truth is.
