Anti-Shoe, Pro-Body

So, admittedly I am remiss for not posting in a while. Due to some back surgery, my writing took a back burner to my recovery, but it doesn't mean I haven't been keeping my eye out for all things, extraordinique! Oddly enough, while in the surgery center, I noticed all of the nurses had an interesting gait while they scurried from one patient to the next. They rolled when they walked. Trying to catch a glimpse of their shoes, I was surprised to see some really funky footwear. These shoes struck me as odd, but the more I asked the nurses about them, the more I thought maybe I would research them and perhaps even give them a try to help my back. The nurses, who are on their feet all day, loved them.

MBT has an interesting premise, "the human body is simply not built to walk or stand on hard, flat surfaces." MBT has started a crusade to create footwear that's intended to "continuously stimulate the postural and stabilizing muscles of the whole body." Their mantra: "anti-shoe, pro-body."
