Apparently all it takes is a mention in Lucky Magazine to change a shoe’s identity from “orthopedic
granny shoe” to “cutting edge celebrity chic.” At least that’s the case with Worishofer, a German orthopedic shoe company.
Who knows what prompted Lucky’s editors to laud Worishofer shoes as “chic” (as well as “ridiculously comfortable”), but soon after, the shoes started showing up on the likes of Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and MIA. And voila -- dowdy became fashion-forward!
Everything I’ve read says these shoes are the epitome of comfort, and they’re surprisingly affordable. So maybe they’re worth a try. Some Worishofer styles – especially sandals -- are less grandma-looking than others…keep this in mind if you doubt your own ability to elevate orthopedic shoes into the realm of high style. Readers, weigh in – are you familiar with Worishofer shoes? Would (or do) you wear them? Does their look say to you “Hollywood starlet?” Or “elderly German woman?”
