I would have a serious concern about the stability of spring stilletto heel. The Heel would flex in all sideways directions more easily than straight up and down thus making a serious accident like and ankle sprain highly likely...

[happy cat]

just wondering where do ou get those shoes and couls they be replaced with like flats or normal high heels?

sweet main pic

[sugarego]

just curious: is this supposed to be conceptual art? or do you really wear those things around? it seems like they'd be very unsteady, but that's coming from someone who only ever wears flat shoes.

[Smalfrii]

coolio

[canida]

High heels are ridiculous to start out with, but you've managed to make a completely wacky pair even more so. Brilliant!

[abnor]

don't forget dangerous!

[aceLED]

see now if u could take this concept and make something just a little more manly lol i would ware it :p

[killbox]

I'm actually a stockholder and daily wearer of a patented spring shoe system, that has been in production for over 10 years.

Z-Coil Shoes hey may be a bit silly looking but they are seriously handy if you have knee/bac/hip problems!

[gschoppe]

the manly version

[talons]

I have those...I totally recommend Powerisers. However, make sure you don't go for the cheap knock offs called Powerizers. They have several other names... this site will help you pick them out.... poweriserpages.com Also, get the spring that is for the weight group after yours instead and your springs will last much longer and you will get more fit by using them.

There was something like this a few years back. The designer did it with running shoes, actually. It was not quite so 'girly', lol. he had a small angled piece of metal at the back of the shoe the size of the heel. It was about a 30% bend, and would allow for a 'spring' in your step even when moving up hill. I don't remember what they were called, but if I find them, I'll post it.

[xclinic]

Would LOVE to hear more about this!

[killbox]

See my reply above about Z-coil shoes.

[Grey_Wolfe]

I actually wasn't talking about z-coils though. The z-coils are comfortable, but I don't think they'd be as good for running, due to weight balance.

[killbox]

Well zcoils were designed by a runner, and used by other runners before getting the better market segment of pain relief footwear

[Grey_Wolfe]

Could be that I've only seen work versions. Guess that's why they didn't seem too great for running to me. Haven't seen any running shoes, but they do tend to be well made, so I suppose they'd be fine.

[reeding]

who ever that is has some sexy legs

[maruseru]

I second to that!

[nagutron]

Are those all your own photos? They're really good.

[benthekahn]

Isn't it 9.8m/s2 not 10.8m/s2?

[headphoned]

You bet.

[Jonny Katana]

I believe it is.

[jaysbob]

well the spring constant thing made me smile. but it might be more comfortable to invest in a pair of walking shoes.

[Lithium Rain]

How is it greener? Is it not greener just to go barefoot??

[Grey_Wolfe]

I think it's greener in that it makes walking more comfortable, thus, you're more prone to walking. More walking = greener. At least, that seems the idea.

Though, I agree that if you're already walking all the time, this would not be greener. Though likely better for your health. Less impact, so less compression on your spine.

[Lithium Rain]

Ah! I see now.

[CrustyCrayon]

plus it is using more materials to make some high heels very unstable.

[laminterious]

If your feet arent used to walking along pavement or concrete barefoot, then doing so would not be greener. Mainly due to the water wasted for foot soaks and medical creams to take car4e of the torn skin, ect.

[Lithium Rain]

Well, yeah, but for me it would be greener...I see what you mean though.

[orangesrhyme]

Wait, isn't Adrian Monk (in the show) an OCD germophobe? Why would he want to walk around barefoot?

[Lithium Rain]

Yes, but it's only a clever alias to cover my real identity (I'm a superhero, don't you see). It's like Clark Kent to Superman.

[n8man]

But you're a girl. So it is more like Wonder Woman.

[rptbandgeek1707]

Super Girl?

[Grey_Wolfe]

With surgical techniques these days, she can be superman if she wants to. lol

[n8man]

Ugh. Bad image.

[Grey_Wolfe]

Muah ha ha ha. My day is complete. lol, I had no intent of doing that.

[pocketwatch]

I see what you did there.

[jamesecash]

Very cool idea, like Z-coil shoes. It would be neat if you could spring load the junction between the sole and the metal piece.
