If you’re a true savionaire, then walking is the best way for sightseeing. Yet, city-savvy tourists wouldn’t be caught with unhip touring shoes. The latest technology for healthy feet will not only soothe your world-weary tootsies but promises to “improve posture and increases shock absorption for all the joints, significantly reducing musculo-skeletal compression.”
Here’s what this new shoe design is about:
*Strengthens and tones muscles in the feet, legs, buttocks, stomach and back
*Increases muscle activity and circulation
*Relieves muscular tension, back and joint problems
*Leads to a relaxed upright posture and maintains correct body alignment
In addition, it is now all the rave in Hollywood for anyone who wants to get rid of cellulite. A Swiss Engineer, Karl Muller, an active soccer player trying to cure his own ailments, gleaned some basic tenets from his travels to rural Korea and studies of the Masai tribe of East Africa. His new tech shoes actually stem from hearty primitive souls (soles). These indigenous people never set foot on hard, concrete surfaces and thus did not develop modern aches and pains. As a result of his six-year research on the biomechanics of people, Muller created MBT®, a shoe that mimics walking barefoot on uneven ground. Since the Masai tribe of East Africa had particularly impressed him with their proud and upright posture, he named his design “Masai Barefoot Technology®” in their honor.
Masai Barefoot Technology® is not just a shoe but also an amazing training tool for everyone. Each MBT® comes complete with training video and special MBT® exercise and walking instructions. The shoes come in a few trendy styles and wearing them is like walking in sand. You can purchase them through Bliss Spa at www.blissworld.com.
