The Patented MBT Technology
MBT Swiss Physiological Footwear
MBT shoes have revolutionised the way we walk, stand, and move by mimicking the sensation of walking on soft, uneven ground. Engineered by Swiss engineer Karl Müller, MBT shoes incorporate advanced technology to enhance natural movement and improve overall health. Central to this technology is the patented unique curved sole.
This curved sole encourages a rolling motion, activating neglected muscles and promoting better posture. A key component of this design is the pivot axis, strategically located under the midfoot. This pivot axis facilitates a smooth transition from heel to toe, ensuring a natural and balanced gait. Additionally, the MBT sensor, positioned at the heel, provides cushioning and stability, enhancing the overall walking experience. This sensor not only absorbs shock but also provides sensory feedback, further improving balance and coordination. Together, these elements create a dynamic and supportive footwear solution that promotes a healthier and more active lifestyle.
However, for many the pursuit of living a more active lifestyle is difficult. The packed nature of our busy schedules means that healthy activity gets squeezed out by life commitments. MBT® wants to break the start-stop cycle of broken health and fitness resolutions by working with the reality of today’s consumer. When wearing MBT® shoes, whether standing or walking, one can’t help but be “on the move” due to its patented construction.
So whether you are going for a walk or just standing there, you're on the move. And if you just happen to want to look mighty cool in the process, we understand that too. It's only human.
