A walking shoe like no other, Masai Barefoot Technology has taken the world by storm. People from across the globe have sworn to the efficacy of MBT shoes in promoting better posture, less pain in joints, and a reduction in the amount of cellulite. Bold statements, to say the least. In this article, I'll explain what these walking shoes are and the benefits they hold.

Fitness walking has developed into a leading workout regimen over the last decade or so. In fact, many people prefer fitness walking before going to the gym or doing workout classes. Scan the magazines at the checkout line in your grocery store and you'll notice, time and again, headlines covering the topic. It's been shown that if you walk 30 extra minutes a day you would loose 17 pounds in a year. Beats going to the gym and slaving away in my opinion. How does Masai Barefoot Technology fit into the mix? Good question.

The MBT shoe is a perfect partner for all of you that currently have a fitness walking program, or are thinking of beginning one. Walking obviously holds several benefits, but it still produces a lot of where and tear on the body. In fact, every step you take puts about 500 pounds of pressure on your feet. That's a lot of miles and a lot of pressure. Isn't it worth your while to get all the comfort and support you can?

That's where Masai Barefoot Technology comes to the rescue. These walking shoes are designed to copy walking on a beach in the sand. The multiple layered, curved soles of the MBT shoe emulates the barefoot walking style of the African Masai tribe on uneven terrain. It features a perforated EVA insole, which is a synthetic compound used for outsoles. E.V.A. provides cushioning to the foot and is easily shaped by heat and pressure. A padded tongue and collar offers added comfort for immediate wear. Natural rolling movement of the foot for even weight distribution can be found with the MBT's TPU and glass fiber shank, which adds firmness to the sole construction. TPU, if your curious, is a plastic material that gives support through the midfoot or medial side of a walking shoe. Shanks are stiff support platforms buried beneath the cushion of the midsole.

So what are the benefits, you ask? Masai Barefoot Technology is a revolutionary fitness shoe offers a better choice for people who want to become more health conscious. Top benefits include:

• Makes training more effective and challenging
• Enhances the way you use muscles and joints
• Improves posture and your circulation with every step
• Distribute pressure equally along the whole foot
• Cushion your feet while challenging your muscles
