The Instability Code

Our philosophy at MBT is to increase everyone's activity levels and in 1996, a link between instability and movement gave us the code we needed to create the world’s original physiological footwear – the MBT – your key to a more active life.

Experience movement through instability

MBTs' patented Masai Sensor and Balancing Area induce instability that your body instinctively attempts to correct. This corrective action can help add more movement into everyday life and can also lead to increased muscle activation and can help improve posture and balance.

Get the most out of your MBTs

To optimize the use of MBTs, we have created a series of specially designed exercises to help optimize MBTs' potential to increase muscle activation. The implementation of instability training means that MBTs can be used not only for everyday activities but also as a training device.

Find the right MBTs for you

There are MBT styles to suit every occasion and need, so you’ll always be able to do more for your body while standing and walking – wherever you are.
Our Instability Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of instability for your needs. It ranks MBTs into one of four categories, starting at Activate, our least unstable level, and progressing through Dynamic and Performance, and ending with our most extreme level, Ultimate.

As every individual is different results may vary from person to person.
