The Heart
In 2050 130mio. people will suffer Osteoarthritis-2/3 are women causeby the use of highheeled shoes
I feel the love deep down in mine bones for femininity. As a woman I feel all the sadness and happiness at once in a pair of high heels. Especially as an Asian woman I carry a history where young girls have to suffer the pains of broken feet, so they can have Lotus feet.
Still today Lotus feet exist in this modern life. We just called them high heeled shoes - a symbol for femininity.
I give the femininity the opportunity by offering The Heart. The idea behind The Heart is to give space for the big toe so it won’t be pushed in against the other toes. By doing this the function of the big toe will be retained. The big toe is important to us because it has two muscles that are essential for our gait and balance.
Combination with Auxetic technology. The idea of using Auxetic in high heeled shoes is to support and lift the forefoot and to make the underlay of the shoe spread out like a fan while walking.
We have suffered enough!
It is time to make a change.
