MBT Shoes. One of the Nicest Ways to Get Fit.

Having spent most of my life in Africa I was intrigued to hear about MBT shoes, otherwise known as Masai Barefoot Technology.

MBT shoes are most definitely not a fashion statement and look a bit odd. Invented in 1997 by Swiss Engineer Karl Mueller, Mbt's are considered a highly performing fitness aid. MBT's are designed to be flexible, comfortable and breathable and their uniquely designed sole, very similar to the 'tyre shoes' often worn by East African Tribal people, are said to simulate walking around barefoot in the sand. MBT shoes are slightly weighted and distribute pressure evenly across the entire foot area and as your body reacts to the weight and instability of the mbt shoe's sole design, muscles, often those neglected, are forced to work to correct this instability.

Could there then be a better way to get fit when the only fitness aid you need is a pair of MBT shoes? MBT shoes can have a positive effect on the entire body and MBT shoes are said to provide both training and massage effects on the body. Here's why:

- All you need to do is walk. Walking is probably one of the most popular, simplest, cheapest and enjoyable recreational activities around. Walking alone improves circulation, boosts your immune system, strengthens the heart and lungs, improves your mood, improves muscle tone and gets you out of the house. Add a pair of MBT shoes
to the routine and many of the benefits are magnified and muscles, not often used, start to be worked on.

- Strengthened and more balanced muscles. The gentle rolling action of the foot whilst wearing a pair of MBT Shoes strengthens the core muscles of the body and tones muscles in the legs, feet, and back, flattens the stomach, strengthens pelvic floor muscles. Mbt's improve and relax your overall posture. Just improving muscle tone can have a very beneficial effect on the overall self confidence of an individual.

- Improved Circulation which will aid in weight loss and removal of toxins from the body leading to general all round better health, boosted and energy levels, and according to testimonials a reduction in cellulite. Boosted energy levels can lead to improved concentration and better performance throughout the day.

- MBT shoes
help to reduce muscle tension through improved overall posture, which in turn may assist reducing, in particular, spine, hip and knee joint problems.

- Help to improve the appearance of varicose veins.

MBT's are now more widely available however care should be taken whilst wearing the shoe for the first time until the unusual action of the shoe has been gotten used to, don't try and wear them for too long when you first buy them as you will be using muscles that may have not been used for a very long time! Consider getting used to them in the home before venturing out on rougher terrain. Mbt shoes are meant to be worn on a daily basis for the best results. Most users are
pleased with the results and find prolonged wearing of the shoe grew easier as their muscles were working harder and producing the desired effects.

Specific shoe care must also be considered when wearing an Mbt shoe as water, rain, oil and animal faeces can assist in breaking down the composite of the sole.

MBT shoes
are not the cheapest training shoe on the market but for those wishing to invest in their health you can buy sport mbt shoes, casual mbt shoes, mbt sandals and mbt hiking boots.

Hot Womens Shoes for Summer 2008

Shoes are great and can give away so much about someone’s personality. These days womens shoes include something for all when it comes to fashion…and what better excuse is there to update the wardrobe than a new upcoming season?

This year the the 80’s are on the return! Get ready to wear pointed toe high heels, peep toe platforms, t bar heels and pumps with soaring heels in all those glorious bright colours…green is predicted to be the next hot colour...but don’t forget pinks, citron, turquoise and neon’s…mixed with ink blues and black . Patent is still in this season too… The sky really is the limit when it comes to womens shoes. Here is a chance to develop a really sexy look with stylish heels.

Spring and summer are creeping up and this years hot sandals come with particular attention to detail. There really is no end to the amount of style you can add to your feet this season with a pair of womens sandals. For those with a daring streak try donning sheer tights with metallic sandals as were featured in Missoni’s catwalk show during the Milan Fashion Week. Jewelled and fringed womens sandals are still the rage and sandals can be worn at any height…try flat jewelled sling back sandals which are promised to be one of the sexiest flat sandals of the summer. For those needing some casual comfort try Birkenstock womens sandals and flip flops or the ever versatile much loved and much hated Croc!…take a look at the Sassari Crocs for a new slant to the normally chunky Croc they also come in all the great bright colours of the season and there is something for all the family and offer value for money. If you are blessed with being tall then a pair of ankle high gladiator style womens sandals may well be the shoe for you.

Peep toe shoes and peep toe boots! The trend for peep toe shoes is keeping up momentum and peep toes are still all the rage. Almost any ‘traditional’ womens shoe now comes with a ‘peep toe’including new peep toe booties and the traditional style oxford style peep toe shoes and boots. Prada featured a shoe/boot/sandal so who knows what next! Peep toe shoes are an option for those who can’t bear to have their toes cramped up with the rising popularity of pointed stiletto shoes…as well as giving some ‘air-conditioning’ to the toes and feet!...and they are acceptable in an office environment.

Wedge shoes are still keeping up an appearance and are more comfortable than a pair of heels, neutral, natural look wedge shoes are a good buy this season.

Just about every womens shoe type must now come in the ‘Mary Jane’ style. Again there is something to suit all…and not just the younger generation as was once associated with Mary Janes. Loafers, pumps, platforms, stilettos, peep toes and sandals all come in this timeless style and this trend of womens shoes looks set to continue.

Sneakers and canvas shoes are now coming in bright colours are the new ‘in’ for the younger generation. Try Converse and Skechers for cute, up to the minute sneakers and canvas shoes with a different twist in style.

Womens shoes really are a girl’s best friend but where does one draw the line? In true Prada fashion Prada paraded a new totally original look for shoes this season featuring flower heels and looks that are almost impossible to describe…..who will be daring enough to wear them?
