in-sole

INSOLE

  • Extra tough back part gives structural
    strength to the shoe, allowing no
    sideways flexing
  • High quality foam for underfoot comfort
   
Sole

SOLE

  • The composite rubber sole is durable,
    flexible and waterproof
  • It is designed with an anti-slip scored
    area on the forepart
   
Low Heels

LOW HEELS

A low heel is recommended for everyday wear. My heels are 15mm to 20mm high.

One of the heels I have selected has a
deep sloped top piece.

This is an important feature eliminating
unnecessary wear to the back of the
shoe, particularly when driving.

A spare pair of top pieces are enclosed
in every shoe box, and additional top
pieces can be requested.

 
   

Toe Spring

A properly constructed shoe will provide support through its comfortable fit, so that the foot is not labouring to keep the shoe on, causing tiredness in the foot and leg muscles.

FULL TOE SPRING

What this means in designing a shoe

Generous toe spring helps prevent
tripping:

  • The flatter the toe, the greater likelihood
    of the end of the shoe catching on
    irregular pavement surfaces

Generous toe spring helps prevent
bagging of the shoe upper:

  • The weight of the wearer exerts
    a downward pressure on the toe,
    creating a pull on the sides of the shoe

My shoes are designed to fit firmly with
less bagging at the sides.
   
Gape

SHOES THAT GAPE AT THE SIDES

SNUGGER FIT OF MY LOW HEELED RANGE OF SHOES PROVIDING  MORE STABILITY AND COMFORT 

Many flat shoes bag at the sides. 

This is usually due to:

  • not enough toe spring
  • heel being too flat
  • not enough structure to the shoe to maintain shape, such as the type of heel stiffeners used - or no heel stiffeners at all.

Please see photos on the left showing the reduced gaping/bagging on my structured shoes compared to those of a conventional low heeled shoe.
