KEEN Footwear came to our class asking us to design a shoe for any woman in the work force.
My teammate and I decided to design a shoe for a woman who is in the medical care field. Realizing how beneficial the steal toe is for women who work in construction, we also imagined doctors would also need a protected toe bed. A comfortable toe bed would also be required and beneficial since most people in doctors offices and the medical field are on their feet all day.
With the iconic look of a KEEN shoe in mind, we slimmed down the shoe, added a cushioned heel for support and a more feminine feel. The colors we choose are inspired by nature's sunrise and sunset. Each color way is different providing either a vibrant and loud color way or a more relaxed and peaceful color scheme. Lastly, we added unique straps for more support and colored soles and stitching for added color pops.
