You would just need permenant magnets embedded in the boots. The real

The health consequences could be avoided by putting a load on the
body, for example using bunge cords to pull the shoulders to the feet.

Are you sure about this? Have there been any studies on these lines?
I could certainly see this helping with skeletal issues, but is the
skeleton the only thing that dislikes long-term zero-gee ?
