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.

Customer Review: Worth every penny!!!!
Bought these after foot surgery and broken metatarsal in foot. They are a little strange to get used to, However soooooooo worth it!!! My hips used to hurt so badly, these shoes force you to stand straight and keep your hips and body aligned properly. What an amazing feeling....I can stand for hours and not feel fatigued. Definately watch the training video that comes with the shoes for great tips on how to use. This is the most expensive shoes I have ever bought. If they come out with some cute clogs, I'll gladly spend it again. Note: The podorthist said she has been wearing hers for over two years and they still looked great and continued to do the job!!
Customer Review: Good Walking Shoes
I am always searching for a pair of good walking shoes. Since I have flat feet, it is important that I wear proper shoes that will help me walk longer distances. I first saw these funny and interesting looking shoes on the feet of a shop floor assistant. I asked her about the shoes and she explained how she spends long hours standing and walking, and had reached a point when she was ready to quit her job. Then she discovered MBT, and she said that they helped her a great deal. I was a little skeptical when I heard her story, and decided to look it up on the Internet, and went to a couple of shoe stores to check out. Everybody gave very good references. I decided to give these shoes a shot and got a pair. The minute I wore these shoes, I felt the difference. I had ample padding and cushioning for my feet. I decided to buy the shoes, and on the very first day I walked about 3 miles...an unheard of thing for me since my feet start to hurt after a mile. It is has been a week since I got these shoes. I feel a bit sore, but it looks like this is an expected by-product. The bottom-line is that I am able to walk longer distances. I need to go back to the shoe store to have them check my gait, and improve it. This way I will be able to get the full benefit of these shoes. They are a bit expensive, but worth it since they improve your quality of life.


Leather is the tanned or dressed hide of an animal, usually without the hair or fur. The process of tanning makes the hide flexible and prevents it from decaying. Many products are made out of leather, one of them being purses. Leather purses either are handmade or made at factories using machines. The tanning process has evolved from the ancient process of skinning, which required greater thickness of the flesh off animals.

Modern process uses pelting the hair of animals with the help of lime and then fleshing and cleaning. Fat is used later to ensure pliability. There are various types of leather available in the market. The types are classified depending upon which animal it is obtained from and the finish of the hide. Moroccan leather, which is made out of goatskin, is characterized by grains that are obtained during the rubbing of the leather. Wallets and purses made out of this leather have a unique finish.

Russian leather has a unique scent and is processed with birch leaves for the bright red color. It is treated with vegetable oils to make it flexible. Glazing is another technique used to give the leather a smooth finish. Spanish leather is known to be smooth and colored with dyes. The softness of the leather enables purse makers to make purses of intricate designs.

Artificial leather is originally made from strong fabrics that are coated with synthetic material. The synthetic material that is used is vinyl polymers. These are also commonly used to make purses that are lower in cost. The costs of purses made out of original leather are much higher as the process of tanning and treating skin is expensive. Designer leather purses are exclusively made and each piece has a unique design. Leather purses play an important role in the fashion industry and there are designer stores that have purses of all styles and for all budgets on display.
