Anyone looking to improve personal well-being, strengthen leg muscles and correct posture has probably heard of MBT Anti Shoes, which were a revelation when they were released to an unsuspecting public in the mid-1990s. The shoes have had a long run with no challenge coming your way, no similar shoes that match the build quality, durability, and wellness benefits of the shoes. Many have tried, but so far, none have been able to come close. While competitors may outperform MBT shoes in price, lower shoes are prone to becoming landfills long before MBT shoes abandon the ghost.
While this has certainly been the case for most of MBT’s time on the market, its dominance of the quality toning shoe market is now uncertain, with a competing brand now posing a serious challenge. What’s more, the latest toning footwear offers considerable advantages over MBT.
The brand is Ryn shoes, and they offer high-quality construction, the full range of toning and wellness benefits, but they do it with arguably more style and undoubtedly superior performance in the wet. Even though Ryn shoes came to the United States in 2008, it has taken them a bit of time to build their solid reputation. They have enjoyed considerable success in South Korea, where they were designed and developed, and have enjoyed many years on the market toning South Korean legs, improving posture, and boosting personal well-being.
The shoes are not exactly new as they were developed around the same time as MBT. The difference between the two was that Ryn shoes spent a lot of time in the development stages to ensure that the shoes offered the best range of benefits and an ultra stable design. Even when the shoes were perfected, they were only released in Southeast Asia, and it has taken some time to reach the United States. Lacking the big marketing budget, they had to earn their reputation the hard way, through word of mouth and positive customer reviews. However, now that the brand is well established and popularity is skyrocketing, they are a serious competitor to challenge MBT’s dominance in the rock-toning footwear market.
What has made Ryn shoes a great success is not one factor, but many, with all aspects of the shoes demonstrating high quality. The soles offer a highly technical construction and are comprised of a 7-piece unit that has been cleverly designed to correct overpronation and guide the foot correctly through a natural heel-to-toe roll. The shoes are exceptionally well cushioned and instead of just bunching up the EVA foam, the soles use air pockets and polyurethane for added sturdiness. The soles are harder and stiffer than competitive brands, but offer excellent adequate cushioning. That harder design also increases service life and offers far superior lateral stability.
A high-traction outsole makes them perform remarkably well in the wet, and for getting off the road, the Ryn shoes are sold as waterproof trail running shoes that provide excellent performance in the wet and dry. The shoes are very stable and are some of the safest toning shoes you are likely to find. Style is important at Ryn, which is especially important when many people are put off by this low-top style due to old-fashioned designs. With a host of haute couture styles, switching to these shoes doesn’t mean having to compromise on your fashion sense, which is a huge plus. Many customers have even compared the shoes to a cooler version of MBT.
The shoes are sold as sandals and slippers, but also as off-road shoes and even dress shoes, offering a style that is well suited to any waking activity. While the range of MBT shoes is extensive, Ryn has the upper hand in design and they perform better in a wider range of conditions.
In terms of toning, posture correction, joint stress relief, and blood circulation stimulating properties, there is little to choose between the Ryn and MBT shoes, but with the great style, wet and dry performance and the highly stable overpronation correction design, the bigwigs in MBT must surely be starting to break a sweat.
