ABSTRACT:
A high-heeled shoe, and method for making the same, the shoe being characterized by providing a substantially flat supporting area for a wearer's foot while appearing to support the foot at an angle. The shoe comprises a sole portion forming a supporting area for a wearer's foot, a heel joined with the sole portion extending perpendicularly downward at least an inch from the sole portion, and securing means for selectively securing the sole portion to a wearer's foot. A forefoot area of the sole portion is elevated to a level substantially horizontal with the heel area whereby the supporting area is generally flat. To make such a high-heeled shoe, a conventional last is altered to add bulk to a heel portion of the last whereby a negative cast of a sole will have a sunken heel. A structural sole portion in then cast. An upper midsole layer and a lower midsole layer are formed, and the upper midsole layer is attached to the structural sole portion. An upper rear portion, an upper front portion, and a heel are attached to the upper midsole layer. The lower midsole layer is then attached to the upper midsole layer.
