Most women will tell you that they love their shoes because of the way they make them feel. For shoe-lovers, shoes provide the foundation for the image that we want to broadcast to the world. We wear them as a way to play with aspects of our identity in a less committed way than any other visible markers such as a haircut/color, tattoos or wardrobe. With shoes we can change that message every day or more if we choose.  They are the physical manifestation of freedom and confidence.

 

We all love variety in our style, but at what expense?  

​

SPACE - At times I felt gluttonous when I looked at the storage bins full of shoes.  

I just couldn't let go ... just in case there was that one occasion to wear a pair again.

My life was cluttered with shoes, both at home and on the road.

 

Elanz shoe tops lay flat when not in use, which saves me a ton of storage space. Now I feel free of the clutter without sacrificing variety. The tops take 2-10 minutes to change to a completely different style. (see how)

​

COMFORT - Each new pair of traditional shoes must be worn-in before they are comfortable, and sometimes that never happens. Let's face it, there are shoes we think are beautiful, but we dread wearing for more than a couple of minutes. 

 

Elanz shoes will surely be your go-to pair of everyday shoes. No need to break them in, they are made to be comfortable from day-1. The Platforms are made of impact-resistant, military-grade polyurethane, meant last 10 or more years. The insoles are memory foam wrapped in anti-microbial micro suede.

​

GUILT -  By now, we should all be familiar with the term "Fast Fashion" ... an epidemic that is fueled by our insatiable demand for cheap fashion.  Big fashion houses are getting rich at the expense of Mother Earth, and with the sweat and blood of desperate laborers in developing countries. It plaques our world, yet many fashion-hungry consumers turn a blind eye. 

 

Elanz stands up against worker exploitation and environmental trespasses, by ensuring a traceable supply chain that leverages fair-wage, US labor and honors Mother Earth with sustainable materials. And, since the Platforms can be used over-and-over, you only need to get new tops for a new look, reducing the amount that needs to be manufactured.

​

Free yourself of clutter, discomfort and guilt, and enjoy the flexibility and variety of styles of Elanz. (see more on ergonomics)
