The Hallux Valgus collection consists of shoes designed for feet with a deformity. The challenge lies in defining the boundary of the aesthetic perception of footwear whilst responding to the specific needs of the target group. The main product has ​​an adjustable mechanism built into the Tabi shoe upper that corrects the position of the bunion. Due to the separated toe on the outsole and the use of auxetic structures in the joint area, the entire shoe enables mobility of the big toe. The sneaker is an extension to the first one and the ballerina with a wider toe area is an elegant option.
