Wearable Paper Sandals
description
Designed using a minimalist aproach, the sandals provide full support and extensive flexibility although the materials consist of only bristol paper and white glue. After researching the different body movements when walking, the shift of weight, and the amount of support required for each area of the foot, the sandals were successfully created with as few sheets of paper as possible. Durable cell patterns were used and designated to the heel and toe portions of each sole, thereby keeping the sandals lightweight by omitting unecessary cell patterning in the central area of the soles. The adjustable straps provide a comforting fit to any size foot, offer remarkable flexibility and converge with the minimalist aesthetic.
