Wörishofer is a type of orthopaedic ladies' sandal made in Bad Wörishofen.[1] They have a cork wedge in the sole which is light and acts as a shock absorber. They were first designed in the 1940s and have been considered practical but ugly.[according to whom?] But in 2010, they became fashionable, being worn by celebrities such as Kirsten Dunst and Maggie Gyllenhaal.[2] They may be compared to other practical shoes which have been fashionable, including Birkenstocks, crocs, Dr. Martens, Dr. Scholl's and Ugg boots.[3]

Podiatrist Beverley Ashdown rated them 8/10 in a comparison with other fashionable ugly shoes.[4]
