Hi friends!
Wow has January 2023 been crazy for me personally and professionally. The biggest news on the LegsLikeMine front is that our Footwear Technician and Footwear Designer have been super hard at work, really digging into the challenges we have as lipedema patients and taking a second, and third, look at the design we have to make sure our boots and shoes will accommodate as many of us as possible in the first round of collections.
We decided to bring in Jo Martinez, who is a professional footwear technologist, to take measurements and discuss footwear challenges with several wonderful, generous ladies over in the UK. And coming on January 29th, we will be having a massive online measuring party, led by Jo herself, who will walk ladies through the process of gathering eleven special measurements of feet, ankles and calves. We’ll use the information to see if we can come up with some kind of averages to make sure our footwear is the best fit possible for all of us.
Trying something new to an entire industry is taking quite a bit of research and development, but we are dedicated to getting it right. When the boots come out for the fall/winter of 2023, we want all of our feet to feel, and look amazing!
For those of you who are generously donating your time and measurements to the cause, a tremendous thank you!
Take care!
Susan
