One of my aunts is a trained acupuncturist and let me tell you, showing symptoms of any ailment around her is a surefire invitation to having your hands and feet poked with the pointiest blunt chopsticks she can find lying around. Excruciating as the treatment, I kinda like it because it brings instant results, if you can bear the pain that is! Experts generally prescribe footwear that alleviates stress buildup everyday.

But of all the acupressure shoes that I have even seen in my life, these Natural Jianwen stone massage shoes are definitely the most uncomfortable looking. With various sized, smooth, rounded stones strategically positioned on each sole to stimulate 60+ acupuncture points on both feet as believed in traditional Chinese medicine, the shoes promise to improve foot health and relax the body with every step. At $29.98, it seems like a bargain, especially when you consider how the weight of the shoe will also help you tone your ankles and calf muscles!
