French designer makes comfortable high heels claim

26/04/2011
High-end French footwear designer Raphael Young has launched what he claims is a comfortable high-heeled women’s shoe.

He said his patented R-Flex technology improves the comfort and flexibility of high-heeled shoes withouth compromising their look or feel. In fact, Mr Young said, R-Flex offers “maximum comfort and sets a new standard of comfort for high-heeled shoes”.

The technology includes steel inserts in the heel, a 100% leather outer sole with a latex gel injection in the inner sole.

Styles in his initial R-Flex collection include closed- and open-toed shoes, heel heights of 90 and 110 millimetres and cream, blue, red and black as colour options.
