Iconoculture: Walkers are standing up and taking note of Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) trainers. Based on the erect barefoot stride of Africa’s Masai tribe, the chunky-soled shoes create a rocking motion that improves posture and balance.
Aesthetically, these shoes look more orthopedic than Orvis (although with the popularity of things like CROCS, who are we to judge?), but they promise to turn shuffling along into a core workout. The MBT style range includes nursing clogs, sandals, hiking boots and running shoes. But rocking out doesn’t come cheap: They cost $245 to $265 a pair.

Does anyone know if MBT Masai Barefoot Technology shoes might be helpful for a teen girl with probable mild/early chondromalacia patella? It seems to make some sense, but I haven’t been able to find any answers. I mainly want to know if there is any potential for making it worse.
