Little Muck's Shoes: Slower pace for more efficiency

These very, very long shoes are the thesis work of designer Pauline Lenoir, a graduate of Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design in London. The idea is to make the owner of unusual shoes slow down the pace of his life in the big city a little.

“In the urban context, efficiency has taken its toll almost everywhere, in architecture and all objects. As a consequence, we have lost control over the definition of our individual tempo and our interpretation of time: we have lost the diversity of our rhythms,” explains Lenoir.

“Shoes that are too long are a way to deliberately impose a slower rhythm on yourself,” says the designer. Yes, we don’t know about London, but in the Moscow metro there’s definitely nothing to catch in such shoes!
