" MBT creates a natural instability underfoot, which stimulates and exercises the body's supporting muscle system."

I do not have any hip or knee problems. But i like the idea of a shoe that improves posture and I like the idea of activating neglected muscles to "tone and shape the body".... But it all sounds like a bunch of hype to me. Does anybody have any experience with these?

 

If you buy them please post a review.

 

how much can those actually tone and shape, probably wont be a noticeable. these shoes are for the fat woman who think it they will make them lose weight and get tone

 

lol +1, anything to make them to feel slightly better.

 

i have a feeling they are a gimmick. If you want healthy feet and good posture walk around barefoot.

 

have decent arches in your shoes, people that require helmets to walk wear shoes like these....

 

I have a pair of Vivo Barefoot. Link

Suppose to replicate a "barefoot" experience. And from my experience, it does. It has a thin sole that allows a lot of freedom and you can feel everything you step on.

I haven't used it enough for long-term benefits, but just the way I walk is very different with regular shoes. I can also feel different muscles in use. Adjusting to them will take a while as you'll get pretty tired after an hour or two of constant walking. Best is to ease into them.

As for purchasing, you can find them cheaper everywhere else than the main website, just search thoroughly (Amazon, ebay).

 

i used to have those as a kid; they were called aqua socks and i wore them to the pool

 

Or you could get these

A coworker has those and he loves them for working out. He said its comfy, just a bit odd the first time you wear them.
