These orthopedic shoes work—otherwise they’d never have made it onto my feet. Created in Switzerland, inspired by Tanzania’s Masai warriors, MBTs help posture, joint pain, headaches—even cellulite reduction (just standing in them takes a basic level of core strength). Ladies have plenty of sexy options—gents may find it tough to work with your designer jeans.
