MBT / Masai Barefoot Technology Sustainability Actions

Exploring new materials

We’re proud to align with Andy’s vision by exploring new materials and manufacturing processes that support the Sustainable Development Goals while maintaining the essence of our iconic curved sole.

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.

APMA accepted shoes

MBT shoes accepted by the APMA are reviewed for design features that support foot health, comfort, and everyday wellness. The shoes featured on our APMA page have been reviewed by licensed podiatrists who note that MBT footwear is designed with features that support good foot health.

Durability and repair

Our experience has shown that the MBT lasts longer than a conventional shoe. ... Of course. However, to protect the Masai Sensor and to avoid sole fractures, the MBT should be resoled before the outsole wears out.
