Double heel shoe for increased stability and comfort

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-heeled shoe provided with a double heel to improve stability and comfort. A first heel is arranged at the rear and a second under the arch of the shoe, configured to distribute the weight in a balanced manner. The heels, arranged in a staggered or parallel pattern, are made from ABS, carbon fibre, titanium alloys or polyurethane for durability and lightness. An ergonomic insole and integrated structural reinforcement optimise comfort and stability.

Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: DOUBLE HEEL SHOE FOR INCREASED STABILITY AND COMFORTTechnical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of footwear, and more particularly to highheeled shoes designed with improved ergonomic balance and user comfort. The invention concerns a new structural configuration intended to enhance stability by distributing the wearer’s weight more evenly between the heel and arch of the foot.Background Art

[0002] Traditional high-heeled shoes are often admired for their visual appeal but are also known for causing discomfort, fatigue, and reduced stability. The structure of existing models typically relies on a single heel positioned at the rear of the shoe, which concentrates the wearer’s weight on a limited support area. This uneven pressure distribution frequently leads to imbalance and strain on the foot and ankle.

[0003] Efforts to improve this situation have generally focused on softer insoles, modified heel angles, or alternative materials to absorb impact. While these solutions provide partial relief, they do not fundamentally address the mechanical imbalance caused by a single rear heel. There remains a need for a design that maintains the aesthetic and functional advantages of high heels while offering greater stability and comfort through a more balanced structural arrangement. Detailed Description

[0004] The present invention relates to the field of fashion and footwear, with a specific improvement made to high-heeled shoes to increase stability and comfort for users.

[0005] Traditional high-heeled shoes are often associated with challenges in terms of comfort and stability. Studies show that 72% of women complain of discomfort caused by high heels, and 40% of fashion-related injuries involve the feet and ankles. This invention provides an innovative solution for wearing high heels with improved weight distribution and stability, while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing design.

[0006] The invention introduces a high-heeled shoe comprising a first heel arranged at the rear of the shoe and a second heel arranged under the arch of the shoe. These two heels are configured to optimise the stability and comfort of the user by distributing the weight in a balanced manner and reducing the pressure on the usual contact points of the foot.

[0007] The heels can be arranged in two configurations: a) staggered, with the second heel slightly in front of the first heel; b) parallel, where the two heels are aligned under the shoe. These configurations allow the shoe to be adapted to different walking conditions and personal preferences, improving overall balance.

[0008] The heels are made from materials selected for their strength, lightness and aesthetics, including: a) acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) for its durability and ease of finishing; b) carbon fibre for its lightness and structural strength; c) titanium alloys for their strength and lightness; d) polyurethane for its flexibility and resistance to wear.

[0009] The shoe incorporates a structural reinforcement, such as a rigid plate integrated into the sole, to improve stability. This reinforcement is designed to maintain the structural integrity of the shoe under dynamic loads.

[0010] The ergonomics of the shoe are optimised by a contoured insole which follows the natural shape of the foot, reducing pressure points and improving comfort during prolonged use.

[0011] First advantage of the invention: flexibility and adaptability thanks to the two heel configurations and the choice of materials.

[0012] Second advantage: improved stability thanks to the arrangement of the heels and the structural reinforcement.

[0013] Third benefit: increased comfort due to ergonomic insole and lightweight materials.
