"Early trials suggest that the high heel could help women shed as much as half-a-stone, or one dress size, if worn for a month. Makers say the design causes the foot to rock back and forth as the weight of the body shifts in motion - like when walking on an unstable surface such as sand.

As well as helping to shed the pounds,the heels will also correct bad posture, straightening the spine while reducing strain on the knee and ankle joints."
