You can now get a “workout” without actually putting in time at the gym. Swiss-engineered MBT footwear is designed to help you stay active while you’re standing or just casually walking.

Ahead of the curve

The secret to MBT’s innovative function is the patented curved sole that constantly engages your body, moving you comfortably forward and giving your legs a good workout. Made up of five high-tech components, the sole promotes a gentle rolling motion while walking. The shoes also boast MBT Sensor Technology™, which promotes soft heel-landing, and a Pivot Axis that moves you comfortably forward with its curvature at midfoot. Together, they are said to deliver benefits that are similar to those you get from exercising – improved balance and posture, better blood circulation, reduced lower-back pain, and increased muscle activity. Best of all, the sole absorbs shock and cushions your feet, making the shoes extremely comfortable to wear all day long.

A fashionable stride

The MBT Fall/Winter collection offers styles for both men and women, including sandals, sneakers and boots. Look out for deep, rich colours such as Grape Wine and Metallic Red. Bright neon accents also show up on certain designs for a touch of liveliness. All styles feature MBT’s signature patented curved sole.
