Does anyone know if MBT footwear(Masai Barefoot Technology ) is cheaper in Florida than in Europe , Im tempted to purchase here but I would wait if I thought they were considerably cheaper in Florida .

Sounds fascinating -what kind of footwear is this?

Hi Sue,

Big article in the Mail today about 'Chung Shi' shoes which apparently help you lose weight and cellulite! Described as the answer to every woman's prayers.

Sue and Leanne set out in search of a pair(s) today and were persuaded by some keen retailer that MBT's were better still. Olive, not sure if they're any cheaper in Florida but I doubt they could be any dearer. Seems I've just paid 130 quid a pair!!

Hi Susan

Found this description on the internet for MBT shoes:

"Masai BarefootTechnology® is a Swiss health and fitness concept, which exceeds all expectations. MBT transforms hard even surfaces into soft uneven ones.

Unlike conventional shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction of the MBT challlenges your muscles to be more active.

Through the biomechanical function of MBT, the muscles, joints and spine begin to function anatomically correct. It not only strengthens the body, it also helps to improve the way you use your muscles and joints.

MBTs are an an important training tool to achieve better performance in different sports and everday wear."

Will look in fl and report back - gosh I'll have to tramp around ALL the malls to find them - all for the good of the Forum of course

I've heard it all now, that is without a doubt the single best marketing ploy I've ever heard
