Artist Judi Werthein has designed a shoe to help illegal Mexican immigrants sneak into the US. As functional as it is an art piece, the shoes include a compass, a flashlight, and some Tylenol in case of injury en-route. There's also a map for the sense-of-direction deficient --printed on the removable insole-- showing the most popular illegal routes from Tijuana into San Diego.

Werthein has been known to pass out her shoes-- called Brincos, from "to jump" in Spanish-- at the border. That woman has some huevos.
