ENGINEERING COMFORT

CREATING WIDE-FIT SHOES INVOLVES SPECIFIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS TO ENSURE COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH WIDER FEET. OUR INSTITUTIONAL MANUFACTURING PROCESS PRIORITIZES ANATOMICAL PRECISION WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE BRAND'S AESTHETIC INTEGRITY.

STAGE I

MATERIAL SELECTION

•
Lasts (Molds)

Lasts (Molds)

Design lasts that are wider in the toe box and forefoot area. A last is a three-dimensional mold around which the shoe is constructed.

•
Upper Materials

Use a soft and moisture-wicking lining to enhance comfort.

•
Insole and Midsole

Insole and Midsole

Design a wider insole and midsole to provide proper arch support and distribute weight evenly.

•
Outsole

Outsole

Consider a wider outsole for stability and balance. Choose materials with good traction.

STAGE II

DESIGN ARCHITECTURE

•
Toe Box Design

Ensure a wider and deeper toe box to prevent crowding and allow the toes to spread naturally.

•
Last Modification

Last Modification

Adjust the last to have a wider ball girth and a broader heel, providing extra room where needed.

•
Pattern Making

Pattern Making

Create patterns that reflect the wider dimensions of the last, ensuring precise assembly.

•
Closure System

Closure System

Choose a closure system that allows for easy adjustment and accommodates various foot shapes.

STAGE III

PERFORMANCE & QUALITY

•
Cushioning

Cushioning

Integrate ample cushioning in the insole and midsole for comfort and shock absorption.
