Came across these amazing shoes with rocking soles, if you have experience of them i would love to hear. MBT claim to transform the way we walk by building in instability, causing users to exercise many of the small stabilizing muscles they dont ordinarily use. Conventional flat shoes support and lead the foot in an unnatural way, leading to joint and back pain, whereas wearing MTB,s is like walking barefoot on sand-a very comfortable feeling, but also challenging, every step is a small workout. After only two days my calf muscles are stronger and my posture is improving already, even just standing still i can feel the difference, my abdominal and buttock muscles feel clenched, when walking my knees and hip joints are more comfortable, normally they are not. Just felt i had to share this small discovery of mine with you. Check it out at www.swissmasai.co.uk

Hi Zoe, i feel so much better for the MBT’s, my legs are getting stronger, I’m going for daily walks, my left foot had a painfull fallen arch which has improved enormously, considering the short time i have had them.
Hi gemini8 and southernlover, these swiss masai shoes are available worldwide, if you check out the website above it points you in the right direction. Yes, the wobble board, its the same principle, instability, all over skeletal and muscular workout. It takes two week to get the hang of them, i took them off today and tried my old shoes for the first time in a week, boy, what a difference, can’t wait to see the results of another week.
Hi Meditating. The retailers are specialy trained, they won’t sell you a pair untill they’re satisfied they fit, and you know how to use them. My disability forces me to wear orthotics in my usual shoes, my fitter assured me i would’nt need them, i was sceptical, but she was right. What price do you put on comfort?
I bought some MBTs about 2-3 weeks ago (the new mary jane style) and I wear them to work everyday and also wear them when I walk my doggie. They’re awesome! So comfortable. I also wear tradional shoes too as I don’t really like the way the MBTs look with most of my casual clothes but the regular shoes are very uncomfortable. Best shoes ever! Well worth the money. Not to mention that if you wear them a ton after a couple of years or so, you can send them back to the company (for about 50 bucks) and get them re-soled! How awesmoe is that? You’ll be able to have the same pair of shoes for a very long time! At some point I’m going to buy another pair and start running in them. I’m a runner already and I think I would do my joints a world of good by switching over.
