The Problem
Physical pain, discomfort and risk of injury are always associated with high heels. Yet, discarding them means compromising on style and stature…
Analyses
The solution is a design for adjustable high heels for women’s shoes, such that they can be transformed from stylish high heels to comfortable low heeled shoes in a few seconds…
Required Transformations:
- Heel length (1)
- Angle/last change at heel and tip (base/sole) (2 & 3)
- Upper shoe adaptations (4)
Concepts
(and visual implications)
Concept 1 Rotate
Concept 3 Fold
(gratuation project by Marte den Hollander)
Concept 6 Replace High with Low
With our finalized “Replace High With Low” concept, we have established a design for the first fashionable, comfortable and practical shoes that can be transformed in a few seconds from stylish high heels, to comfortable –while still stylish- low heeled shoes.
The removable heel and adjustable last design allows women to no longer trade-off practicality and style when deciding which shoes to buy and which shoes to wear.
Prototype
Women will be able to enjoy the style, stature and presence that elegant high heels provide while being free to benefit from the comfort of flatter shoes when situations ask for it.
The invisible mechanism allows heels to be designed with many different shapes.
