Detny Shoes - Can High Heels Really Feel Like Sneakers?

Sunday November 12, 2006

Is it possible for a pair of high heels like the ones shown here to feel like a pair of sneakers?

Not exactly. But thanks to brands like Detny, they can come awfully close.

Launched in 2003, Detny features footwear created by twin brothers and shoe designers Shawn and Shane Ward.

Having designed footwear for brands like Adidas, Puma, Fila and Converse, the duo had a vision to create cutting-edge fashionable footwear with the technology and comfort of a running shoe. On both counts, they've scored.

Learn more about Detny Shoes, including the results of my own informal test of this popular brand of footwear.
