The latest
‘in’ thing is the unstable shoe design that helps to keep your feet free from
pain and also improves posture and balance. The main task of
physiological footwear, as claimed by the manufacturer, is to initiate barefoot
locomotion that is increasingly becoming popular around the world. MBT or Masai Barefoot Technology Inc. a company founded by Karl Muller was the first one to introduce “barefoot” functional
shoes in the market. Many biomechanists, clinicians, physical trainers, and
even the general public have started understanding the long term implications
of using these shoes on a daily basis. These shoes are said to reduce back and
joint pain in the long run and also prevent its occurrence again in the future.
The
conventional flat sole shoes that we find in the marketplace don’t support
barefoot movement; instead they tend to put excessive pressure on the heel
area. For example, you might have seen many ladies wearing high-heel stilettoes
in various events. According to podiatrists, these shoes can alleviate joint
pain, as the heel causes your lower back to accentuate its lordosis or forward
curve. This will increase joint stress and misalignment leading to facet
syndrome and pain. Particularly people with joint arthritis and facet syndrome
are advised not to wear high-heels as they can aggravate the pain and
discomfort.
MBT shoes sold online
have specific stabilizing features for protection of the foot and body during
ground contact. The enhanced cushioning and stability built in modern shoes might
be overprotecting and therefore actually weaken important stabilizing
structures, specifically the smaller intrinsic and extrinsic muscles found in
the foot and ankle joint. MBT’s activate the neglected smallest foot muscles
helping them to enhance performance and prevent injuries.
MBT physiological footwear curved sole found in the anterior-posterior position along with the
cushioned sensor under the heel area create a certain degree of instability in
both the anterior-posterior and heel areas. These shoes help to transform a
hard, even surface into a soft, uneven ground enabling you to take shorter
strides instead of large steps.
Smallest
foot muscles such as tibialis posterior, flexor and extensor hallucis longus,
and more gets activated and strengthened as you walk or stand in MBTs. The
footwear also helps to keep your body straight when walking and does not allow
your body to lean forward unlike high-heels.
Benefits of MBT are not just one but many and you can have improved foot
health and stay happy if you start wearing this footwear every day. They
provide maximum comfort to your feet and gives relief from stressful journey on
foot.
