The MBT Sole Index
| Instability level | Activate |
| Sole geometry | low curvature |
| Midsole height | low height |
| Balancing zone | low |
| Masai Sensor | Integrated sensor construction with side walls for more stability |
MBT Sole Index ACTIVATE
The geometry of the sole has a low rounding and has the lowest instability level. The height of the midsole and the balancing area are low. The sole has an integrated sensor construction with side walls for more stability. The ACTIVATE sole index is particularly suitable for- beginners who have no experience of wearing MBT shoes
- long walks - for the perfect fitness effect
- active movements in leisure time
| Instability level | Dynamic |
| Sole geometry | moderate curvature |
| Midsole height | medium |
| Balancing zone | medium |
| Masai Sensor | Wide sensor with continuous clip to stabilise the heel |
MBT Sole Index DYNAMIC
The geometry of the sole has a moderate rounding and thus a medium instability level. The height of the midsole and the balancing area are more prominent than is the case with MBT shoes with the ACTIVATE sole index. The sole has a wide sensor with a continuous clip to stabilise the heel. The DYNAMIC sole index is particularly suitable for- an increase in muscle activity, also in everyday life
- greater relief for the foot and knee joints, as well as the lower back due to increased cushioning properties
- for longer walks, city trips, shopping tours, for work
- Hikes
TIP:
The MBT Index DYNAMIC has increased instability and thus promotes increased muscle activity. Particularly suitable for wearers who want to feel an immediate effect. With regular wear, you will feel the muscles around the foot, knee and back strengthen more and more and pain will be relieved.
| Instability level | Performance |
| Sole geometry | strong curvature |
| Midsole height | Medium |
| Balancing zone | Strong |
| Masai Sensor | Narrow sensor with integrated clip for increased instability |
MBT Sole Index PERFORMANCE
The geometry of the sole has the strongest rounding compared to ACTIVATE and DYNAMIC. The height of the midsole has a medium shaping, whereas the balancing area has a strong shaping. The sole has a narrow sensor with lateral clip for increased instability. The PERFORMANCE sole index is particularly suitable for- athletically ambitious, who aim for a high level of muscle activity
- highest cushioning requirements, pain is relieved to a high degree
- MBT wearers who have the highest expectations of their shoe and its (fitness) effect
- Physically very active people
TIP:
Wearing MBT shoes with the PERFORMANCE sole index is not recommended for beginners. Due to the extreme rounding, this sole index requires the most exercise, but also achieves the greatest effects. MBT shoes have a similar effect to Pezzi balls. Anyone who sits on such an exercise ball automatically adopts a straight sitting position. You can imagine this effect with MBT shoes. The body is encouraged to balance itself in a natural way. This addresses deeper lying muscle groups and strengthens them noticeably with natural movements.
