The concept behind this design was to create a stylish, professional, and comfortable shoe that can be worn casually or in an office environment.  The majority of professional shoes currently on the market are unattractive and uncomfortable for long days in the office.  This design employs a rubberized heel, where the cutout and springy sole, along with the front platform allow for all-day comfort of wear.  The muted color palette allows the style to remain office-appropriate, but the neutrals and basic design make it easy to transition from day to night as well.
