For many people, knee and back pain keeps them from getting the exercise they need. In many cases, these nagging aches and pains can have a simple and not so obvious cause. Fitness expert Susie Nesselman of BodyTrends.com, an online resource for people looking for information about fitness and fitness products, says most people need look no further than what they're wearing on their feet."Most shoes don't offer adequate support for people as they walk, much less exercise," says Nesslemen, "but it's an easy problem to solve."
Nessleman recommends that people who come to her with these aches and pains invest in a pair of shoes made by Masai Barefoot Technology, or MBT for short.
The shoes were invented by Swiss engineer Karl Müller. During a visit to Korea he made the discovery that walking barefoot over paddy fields alleviated his back and knee pain. When he returned home to Switzerland, Müller began to develop a footwear technology that would make the natural instability of soft ground such as Korean paddy fields accessible to everyone, no matter where they lived. In 1996, after years of research and development, Masai Barefoot Technology was born. MBTs are now available in more than 20 countries around the world, and approximately one million pairs of this revolutionary footwear technology are sold every year.
