The Birth of the Anti-Shoe
In the late nineties we started a crusade. We realized that the human body is simply not built to walk or stand on hard, flat surfaces. We also discovered that conventional shoes stabilize the body in such a way that the body’s supporting muscle system is neglected, which can result in joint and back pain.
We wanted to make the world aware that our health is significantly influenced by the way we walk. And we were determined to develop something that would continuously stimulate the postural and stabilizing muscles of the whole body.
We knew we had to be radical to be successful.
So we used radical measures to dramatize the corrosive effect on our health from wearing traditional shoes. And radical thinking to engineer and design a new kind of footwear that was different from anything else on the market.
We named our footwear MBT, and refused to call it a shoe.
Because MBT is totally different:
1. Its sole is curved, not flat.
2. It is unstable, not stable.
3. It activates your muscles instead of undermining them.
4. It has a positive effect on the entire body, not just the feet
Conveniently located in Spokane Valley, we are accessible in 15 minutes for most people from Spokane, Deer Park, Liberty Lake, Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene and Hayden Idaho. We are just off the freeway, next to the Krispy Kreme and Best Buy stores located east of the Spokane Valley Mall. We are not inside the Valley Mall, so parking is very easy and convenient right in front of the store.
