Spring Walking Footwear - Escape the Treadmill and Get Outside

At the time of writing this article it is late March and spring is right around the corner for most of us. Time to put away the boots and gloves, snow shovels and crack open the windows a bit to get some fresh air into our winter hideaway. It's also time to lace up those walking shoes and say goodbye to the treadmill and go outside for your fitness walking routine. It might also be time to reevaluate your wardrobe, including your walking footwear. If it is an opportunity to buy a new pair of shoes, there is a very effective brand of walking footwear to look at purchasing this spring called MBT.

MBT is an acronym for Masai Barefoot Technology. It is described as an anti-shoe. First successfully launched in Europe, this footwear has become increasingly popular in the United States.The reason for its popularity is all the benefits they provide. MBT has been shown to help improve posture, lower the amount of back pain, is friendlier on the feet and joints, reduces the amount of muscle recovery needed between workouts and helps burn more calories by working muscles more than conventional footwear.

The secret to MBT lies in the sole design. They utilize a multiple layered curved sole. This concept employs a strategy of working core leg muscles more as you take steps. But they also provide benefits while standing. The curved sole makes your posture much improved and the constant instability makes circulation better so you actually feel better when wearing them.

MBT is an excellent choice of walking footwear this spring. So when you are folding up the treadmill and taking inventory of your wardrobe, keep MBT's in mind. Your body will thank you for it.
