About the project

End-to-end development of custom orthopedic footwear for patients with complex biomechanical needs — including limb length discrepancy and pressure distribution disorders.

Process spans baropodometric analysis, last construction, pattern making, to hand assembly. The process combines digital diagnostic tools with traditional craft — where technology defines the problem and the hand resolves it.

Developed in collaboration with Ortopedia Lore, Italy.
