Feet Feat
ANYTHING CALLED "MASAI barefoot technology" we had to try. MBT shoes (swissmasaius.com), which essentially have no heel and are based on the way Masai tribesmen walk, claim to "activate neglected muscles," give you better posture and relieve pain in your feet. Heavy, covered in Gore-Tex with a Cat Power like tread, we found these clunky kicks, which sell for about $250, to be pretty much as advertised. Admittedly, though, a few spins around the office is a lot different than a trek across the Serengeti.
