The make sneakers based on the same concept - and that's what they say, that it's like walking in sand. If they were cheaper I'd try them.

Wearing MBTŪ is like walking in sand. Unlike most conventional training shoes that only support and cushion your feet, the inherent instability and the unique rolling action of the MBTŪ sole challenges postural muscles to be more active. This reactive, more supportive muscle action creates good posture and increases shock absorption for all the joints, significantly reducing musculoskeletal compression.
