OESH Shoes launched yesterday an Indiegogo Campaign for the most comfortable women’s dress flat in the world. It is also the first women’s dress flat that truly respects the woman’s body and the shape of her foot. OESH Founder, Dr. Casey Kerrigan, is the Harvard M.D. who’s been featured on ABC’s 20/20 and other news for discovering that heel elevation and a lot of other features in women’s shoes not only hurt the foot, they actually increase impact on the knee joints and the rest of the body. This increased impact may explain why women are twice as likely as men to develop knee osteoarthritis. Dr. Kerrigan’s profound research discoveries led her to leave academic medicine to build a factory to develop and make healthier shoes for women. Her passionate journey from medicine to footwear was just featured in the most recent issue of Harvard Medicine.
The “Dream,” which will be OESH’s first women’s dress flat that can be worn anywhere, is beautifully distinctive. Whereas most dress shoes cramp the forefoot and toes, the Dream actually celebrates the natural beauty of a woman’s foot with a wide forefoot and toe box and a stretchy sock-like 3D knit upper that accommodates full active movement. This sits atop OESH’s acclaimed elastic spring sole that is uniquely designed to help absorb peak stresses and strains to the body. Being devoid of any features that deform the foot or amplify stress on the joints, the Dream truly is unlike any other women’s dress shoe ever made.
The OESH Dream will retail at $130, but the first 200 backers on Indiegogo will be able to claim a pair in the first round of production with a pledge of only $80. On the first day, OESH had over 33% of its Campaign funded.
