Default Re: MBT - Masai Barefoot Technology

I truly understand what you mean! Believe me, it took me 2 years seeing pictures of models wearing this stuff, to make a decision only to walk into the MBT store because of the uggly looking. (By the way there are some new ones that look quiet good on the foot.)
I was lucky, there opended a "Walking Lifestyle Store" near my home and I chatted about 1hour with the manager about the looking of this shoes. The first step into these, is horrible! You walk like you just ecperienced the way to walk. I tried a second time about another hour. Learned all about the right sizing, walking, wearing ... I do not recommend buying the first pair online.

THE LOOK: I only wear them with too long trousers like my fav jeans "Citizens of Humanity - Ingrid" and gosh they look complitly different.

HEALTH: Not only that my hips and bottom look much better, I had a anterior cruciate ligament ruptur 6 month ago. I decided no surgery and practiced with my MBTs for about 2-3 month and now my knee is better than after a surgery could be (says my Osteopath).
