MBT

Freedom Soles have an advanced Midsole Balance Technology (MBT) built into the shoe sole.

This Midsole Balance Technology (MBT) will automatically improve your posture whilst allowing a release of excess tension in the back muscles. The key principle of the Midsole Balance Technology (MBT) in Freedom Soles is an inbuilt pivot area in the foot sole that has been shifted further back towards the heel to correct the forward leaning posture that most people suffer from. When the balance line moves back the wearer is automatically forced to stand upright with a more optimal alignment for standing and walking. This pivot area, combined with a soft heel insert and a special rounded mid-sole forces the patient to stand in the correct alignment but also creates an area of stability where the back muscles can be released. Recent research at Sheffield Hallam University has shown a decrease of -43% in multifidus muscle activity in the lower back.

• 1. Soft heel insert (TPU material)
• 2. Shoe uppers
• 3. Soft shaped insole
• 4. PU mid-sole

• 5. Outer sole
• 6. Pivot area
• 7. Rounded heel
• 8. Rounded toe

As you walk the rounded toe and heel of the Midsole Balance Technology (MBT) encourages a more natural rolling motion of the foot, with shorter strides and a more upright posture.This, combined with the softness of the shoe insole encourages increased sensory feed-back, so you are more aware of what you are doing as you walk.This result is typically associated with a reduction of joint pain.
