We love nothing more than donning our high heels but sometimes the pain proves too much and we have to resign our pretty footwear to the back of our wardrobes.
That might be about to change though thanks to a new idea dreamed up by businesswoman Dolly Singh, head of her own shoe company, Thesis Couture.
Dolly is currently working on introducing “high performance stilettos” and the science behind her idea is really quite impressive.
Us after wearing heels for long periods of time
Having previously worked as a tech recruiter, Dolly’s career ensured she was aware of the gap in the market for comfortable shoes that look good too.
She quickly got to work and approached a rocket scientist (yes really) and asked for help in designing a heel that would support the wearer’s weight.
Traditional heels put pressure on the ball of your foot whereas Dolly hopes to produce a shoe which will spread the weight across the entire foot.
To ensure a stylish (and comfy) high heel, Dolly has hired her very own “fashion scientist” and hopes to launch the shoe in America later this year.
This is how excited we are about comfortable heels
Speaking about the line, Dolly said: “It’s a stiletto. It’s never going to feel like a tennis shoe. But it doesn’t have to feel like a torture device either”.
European prices haven’t yet been finalised but given the unique concept, we don’t expect them to be cheap…
