Every morning in every city you can see them. Smartly dressed women, wearing suits or stands between matched with incongruous sporty trainers as they rush to work.
Unseen but obvious to the onlooker are their proper shoes, presumably heels, secreted in a bag or tote, ready for a quick replace before starting a day of work. So many of us seem to have a "can't live in them, can't go without them" relation to our formal shoes these days.
Meanwhile, in operation news, there seems to be a primary correlation with the height of the heels and the profits flight of the company, when it comes to footwear brands. Jimmy Choo posted a 200 percent increase in profits this Economy is shown; Christian Louboutin is growing by opening shops as distant as South america and The japanese, and Kurt Geiger reckoned it sold ten twos of shoes a minute this season – with five-inch heels demonstrating the most popular choice.
As women buy into increasingly towering styles, precluding the chance that the female foot should change Darwin-style, what are the developments in shoemaking technology to ensure that followers of fashion can still move from a to B without the use of car chair, or at least, a large bag containing apartments? Does a cushty back heel exist, or is the idea much like "anti-wrinkle cream"– an impossible task, yet one too tempting to discount entirely?
"As far as different styles go, wedges sell remarkably well, and they are very much in fashion at the moment, and the wonderful like them because they are comfortable while still giving you that height. Another comfy style would be a covered platform pump – again, you've still got that height but, due to the platform toe, the angle your foot is defined at is not as steep, so the amount of pressure is less. At the moment we have Alexander Wang's summer shoes in. They are high but have so much cushioning and padding in the inner that you feel as if you are walking on confuses. Often you can tell whether a shoe will be comfy or not just by looking within it.
It led him to take out a patent on one particular choice of his shoes, the R-Flex, which are smart high heel pumps with a flexible plastic sole. Young said he first had the idea 12 years ago, visiting a shoe manufacturing plant "that was manufacturing comfort shoes, almost orthopaedic shoes, where the owner explained that she needed a solution to make the shoes more flexible, which could give real comfort if the shoes could accompany the natural movement of the walk". Young thought about this question for years, and when his company received some extra investment they apply it resolving the old problem. "After studies and tests in the manufacturing plant, I found the technical solution to make shoes as flexible and comfy as a ballerina. We patented it.
Kay Barron, Grazia's fashion news and features publisher, is a self-confessed back heel connoisseur, and one who is so well known for wearing "skyscraper" heels all day, has even written a first-person piece describing task of wearing apartments for a week instead. Barron is thinking about the R-Flex range. "The Raphael Young shoes are supremely flexible and comfy – surprisingly considering how high they are. I used them for a whole day during London Fashion Week and there was no burning pain, or numb toes! inch As an expert on high heel pumps, Barron is precise about her shoe-buying tips. "It's not regarding the height, a wedge or otherwise, or the brand. It's all a question of balance and distribution of weight. A well-made shoe that enables your unwanted weight to be spread smoothly is often more comfortable to stand in for longer, than one where the pressure is all on your ball of the foot. And believe me, I had to wear many toe-curlingly painful shoes before I found the perfect pair.
