Like most businesswomen I was wearing high heels all day, every day and it played havoc with my posture. My pelvis got pushed backwards and my lower vertebrae became compressed until I was waddling like a duck!

The tipping point came getting off a train one day in Manchester, trapping a nerve and ending up with excruciating backpain. I dragged myself to a physio who gave me some exercises, but mainly told me to ditch the high heels and buy some MBTs.

I’d never heard of them before, however the effect was dramatic. I immediately felt as if a piece of string was pulling me from above, lifting my back straight and I swear my backpain had subsided within about 30 minutes. That was eight months ago and I’ve hardly taken them off since!

There’s real science behind the MBT design which is based on mimicking the way the Masai tribe walk on sand, I now know it’s certainly not a gimmick. They’ve been an absolute life saver for me and I must have recommended them to at least 50 people, including my mum.

What more can I say? MBT, You’re hired!
