Heels all day

Going out in the morning with heels, get to the office by bike and maybe take a walk in the evening, without ever changing our shoes thanks to Laura Papp’s new project.

Laura Papp’s new project, Heel 2, consists of four concept shoes that can be turned from high heels to flat heel with minimal gesture.

All female know how it feels to wear heels for a longer period of time. These shoes could provide comfort especially to the girls traveling by bike. The Heel2 embodies the modern footwear, which can transform according to the metropolitan situation.

To make the shoes stable Laura Papp worked with triangles and buttress every moving and flexible element.

Another important aspect of this design was to take the soles arch apart. This solution was needed because by certain technical solutions, she was only able to create angles instead of arches. The fixing technique had to keep the standing heels on their place and it needed to be complicated so that they won’t close while walking. Each shoe is closed with a lowered magnet, but all of them moved in different ways.
