MBT / Masai Barefoot Technology Sustainability

MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) presents its footwear as designed around a patented curved sole, Masai Sensor, and balancing area that encourage a rolling motion and natural instability. The brand states that its shoes are intended to support posture, balance, muscle activity, and reduced impact on joints during walking and standing. In the sustainability-related content provided, MBT also says it is exploring new materials and manufacturing processes that support the Sustainable Development Goals while maintaining its curved sole design. The available material focuses mainly on product function, health, and biomechanical design rather than broader environmental reporting.

Patented sole construction

The key to the patented MBT Footwear is the sole construction with the Masai Sensor at the heart and the balancing area. Touching down on the soft sensor creates a comfortable feeling and creates a natural instability that can have a positive effect on the muscle activity of the lower extremities. Rolling over the balancing area can help improve posture and balance.
