Draw Breath

MBTs may not be the de rigeur footwear for walkers in the city for much longer if an article in today's Guardian is true. The benefits of supposedly walking like Masai tribesman may be outweighed by the sense of panic one's legs feel when the footwear is removed. Muscles are stretched but these are the wrong muscles apparently. I have always thought the Masais have the most remarkable posture and are so graceful in their movements. Conversely, most non-Masai MBT wearers in Dublin look like they are swaying as they walk in an attempt to maintain balance.

Maybe the key is in the word barefoot.
