Founder Story
Founder Samantha Dong always wore heels to work and then she injured her toes climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. She couldn’t wear heels without pain and that’s when it hit her ‘Why do heels have to hurt in the first place’. Why did it take so long for the footwear industry to create a solution for foot pain? Given the societal staple that heels have made - it’s profitable and there’s been a lack of drive to innovate in women’s best health interest. Samantha and her team addressed this head-on and even accomplished the difficult feat of making a pointed-toe silhouette that doesn’t hurt. Heels are perceived as a status and power symbol in society and they are also assumed to always hurt. We have shaken that standard and hope to spread the word that through innovation and design you can still have style and not compromise on the health of your feet.
