Another Fork in the Road


I was listening to a friend the other day discuss his recent retirement and all the adjustments and things he is dealing with. He is 50! Yikes-a-hooty! He is considering what to do with his life.

Me? I am in the process of starting a new Company! Our main company is 17 years old and I started it when I was 46. I guess I still have things to do.

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]discount mbt shoes[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]MBT[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]footwear etc[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt shoes review[/B] more remarkable.

MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt sandals[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]footwear etc[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]MBT shoes[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]footwear etc[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.

The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]mbt shoes review[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.


These are pretty bold claims but there is no doubt that MBT shoes are [U]mbt sneakers[/U] popular both as recreation and sportswear. A study [U]mbt sneakers[/U] by Sheffield Hallam University recently concluded that MBT shoes were better for the knees ankles [U]MBT[/U] than normal shoes. The study also concluded that if [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] you walk correctly you would take shorter strides while walking in MBTs. Shorter [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] strides would mean more steps and more expending of energy and this [U][B]footwear etc[/U][/B] would increase your calorie burn.
