In Julianne Hanks's opinion, people's feet have their internal structure and power, people can walk and run reposefully. Therefore she designs the shoes without treads. This design makes our feet feel good. This is a great invention, and we get what we lack.

According to the designer,A Revolution of Feet Articles Julianne Hanks, at the end of the summer, in my workroom I thought a question of the common shoes' design. I was curious that why all the shoes need treads. There are people's footprints on the sand beach. The heels and toes are the plainest parts of every footprint. It makes clear that people are used to use their heels and toes when they stand and walk. According to the introduction of scientific research personnel on human body mechanics, high-heeled shoes offer support to people's heels, and people can walk reposefully. However, even though people stand on the board barefoot, in order to stand reposefully they will break up their feet. So, Julianne Hanks thinks that people's feet have internal structure and physical strength, which can make people stand or walk reposefully. Why do we give the feet the repetitive support? If the shoes are from the early sandals, what are the design thinking and shoemaking material in every evolution phase?

So, Julianne Hanks begins to discuss this question. She chooses the method of designing bridge. She examines people's feet's strength when they walk, and she also checks up the material's change when the feet put the strength.

By report, for the desired consequence, she uses the tracing paper and sells tape to pack her feet. So she can get the geometric figure of the feet.

Then it is a little dangerous. She must use the scalpel to cut the paper. But she can't break the paper and her feet.

 Julianne Hanks said, these shoes I designed were just one tape's geometrical combination. In order to support the heels and ankles, the belt is twined from the toes, cross the arches to heels. The appearance makes us brisk. The shoes are like one part of our feet, so we call it "Moji slippers".

Do you know the shoes without soles? Here are the shoes designed by Julianne Hanks. Our feet's different parts have different function. So she invents these amazing shoes.

The design makes feet ventilate, and it is also portable. It is like a twisty belt, so I call it "Mojito".

In fact; the shoe's material is not complicated at all. The subject is carbon fiber. It offers necessary support to the shoes and it is also elastic. The shoes' closest part to the skin is leather, and the soles stick to rubber. So the three materials have their own roles.

One company of Italia can make this kind of carbon fiber. There is a good furniture factory in High Wycombe, England. They will stick the leather on the core materials for us. Because its sewing technique is the best in the world.

We think that it is great for human being to create these new shoes. For our feet, they are free from these years' constraint. It is beneficial to our feet and body. It is very popular in the market and many consumers like them very much. All in all, this kind of comfortable and nice shoes will be the most popular in the world. You must buy a pair of these shoes if you want to protect your feet.
