Description

A pair of high heel shoes in the shape of a spiral in which the foot's heel and ball are supported and the gap between is spanned by the foot's arch. The shoe consists of a carbon fibre core with synthetic rubber laminated to its floor side and leather padded with memory foam stitched to its foot side. Its novel structure resembles a curl of lime peel, the inspiration for its title, Mojito, a lime cocktail.
