Bernhard Willhelm
SHOES THAT ARE WEARABLE JEWELRY
THICK-SOLED CLEAR SOLES MADE OF TRANSPARENT SPHERES REMINISCENT OF JEWELRY DRAW THE WEARER'S AND VIEWER'S ATTENTION TO WEARER'S FEET.
EACH SPHERE IS DESIGNED TO MOVE SOFTLY WITH THE MOVEMENT OF YOUR FOOT, GIVING YOU A UNIQUE WALKING AND GRIPPING EXPERIENCE. IN ADDITION, THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE MATERIAL IS CONTROLLED TO PROVIDE OPTIMAL CUSHIONING WHEN WORN, CREATING A FLUFFY, FLOATING SENSATION THAT YOU CAN'T FEEL WHEN YOU TOUCH THEM WITH YOUR HANDS.
THE UPPER FEATURES A nude KNITTED SOCK WITH pink DOTS AND HAIRY STRIPE.
THE HEIGHT OF THE HEEL IS ABOUT 5 CM FOR ALL SIZES, AND WHILE THE HEEL IS VOLUMINOUS, IT IS TRANSPARENT TO REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF WEIGHT.
