MBT provides several different outsole profiles, each adapted to the use of the footwear. The rubber outsoles are made out of 20 different compounds and provide a perfect balance between grip and durability.
The Dual Board Shank in the midsole uses Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in the heel and midfoot area. Nylon mixed with glass fibers are used in the forefoot area. This dual density construction provides added comfort and stability.
The Masai Sensor consists of a soft Polyurethane (PU). The sensor produces a pleasant feeling, reminiscent of walking on natural, uneven ground. The softness is important to create the specific functionality (sink-in movement) of the MBT sole.
