• Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) creates mild instability in the foot, forcing the body to compensate and use neglected muscle groups
• Natural compensation of the minor instability helps improve posture and muscle tone, and even helps with back, hip, leg, foot and joint problems
• The heart of MBT design is in the midsole, which incorporates 3 different sections: a soft, under-heel component (Masai Sensor), a balance component and shanks in the midsoles
• Masai Sensor section under heels allows heel to naturally sink, much like walking on sand, promoting mild instability that the body counteracts with increased muscle activity
• Polyurethane midsole balance area under insteps creates a smooth rolling transition from heel strike to toe-off, evenly distributing pressure along the foot
• Thermoplastic rubber shanks provide support while encouraging the natural forward movement of the foot with each step
• Soft nubuck leather uppers are flexible, abrasion resistant and offer top performance while looking great; polyester mesh panels help feet breathe
• Gore-Tex® waterproof lining let feet breathe while protecting them from the elements, keeping them dry and comfortable
• Polyester mesh linings help wick excess moisture away and dry quickly for increased comfort
• Polyurethane outsoles provide traction on pavement at every point along each rolling footstep
