M.B.Ts (masai barefoot technology)

Susannahmia

Thinking of investing in a pair of m.b.ts in the hopes of toning my legs and improving my posture. Has anyone here used them? Are they worth spending my hard earned cash on? Wheres the best place in dublin to buy them?

My wife bought a pair and is loving them. Am thinking of grabbing a pair myself.

My sister has loads of problems with her back and bought a pair and has been brand new ever since. I'd say they are well worth the money, like the poster above me I too and considering getting a pair.

I read about them and they sound great! Where can you get a pair, and does anyone know how much they are?

Most good chemists and places like that do them They are €207 same price everywhere.

Yeah my mum has a lot of back problems but since she's started using them she's been fine

It is different for everyone. Some people find the MBT's brilliant especially if they have back problems due to poor core stability or they have oedema (swelling) of their feet and ankles due to poor muscle muscle pump action (i.e the muscles do not contract sufficiently to pump the lymph back out of the feet and ankles.

Others who have other underlying problems do not find the MBT's effective. They do take a bit of getting used too also.

My friend had back problems, so she got a pair. According
to her they're the best things ever!!

I have them and they are fanstastic!
I have knee problems, which they have helped with, but even apart from that they are still worth the dosh. They have done WONDERS for my posture, and when I first wore them I was in bits the next day, which makes me think they are working all sorts of new muscles!!

Yes they are a bit ugly, but I love them!

They need to be a really snug fit to be of the most benefit.

Both my Mum & Sister got them and raved about them of course I had to follow suit... :rolleyes:
When I got mine last year I initially took great use of them, BUT they were always rubbing the back of my heel & got too sore to wear, so now they're in the back of my wardrobe!

Funny thing is that both my mum & sister have smaller feet than me - they have no problem at all with theirs and think MBT's are great. So I guess mine is just down to me having funny feet!

Elverys sell the whole range.

The sandles are €189 and shoes €207. My mother and my fiance wear them and think they're great. Seem to last ages too. In Sligo there's an M.B.T. shop.
