contactile

Description

Would our cities be greener if we walked barefoot more often? Walking without shoes is dangerous, but only through a deeper connection with nature do we recognise our responsibility for the environment and its resources. Our connection to the ground is reflected in our feet due to gravity.
A 3D-printed sole made from recyclable oyster filament with a gait-supporting structure could improve ground perception and strengthen environmental awareness. The concept is a sustainable and visually appealing sole that protects the foot while providing a natural tactile experience.
