I started wearing MBT shoes well over a year ago. This stands for Masai Barefoot Technology which forces the person to feel like they are walking in the sand.

For two weeks I went back to wearing my old shoes which place a lot of pounding on the facet joints and started causing pain again.

I went back to the MBT shoes and the pain is lessened again. Coincidence? I think not. The principle is sound where pounding on the lower spine takes place with conventional shoes.

I would encourage people to try these out.
