ACCESS | Tatsuya Iwai

Easy to step in
We often have to take on and off our shoes during daily life which can be inconvenient in some situations. My idea was to broaden the access to the shoe from above to the side to offer a wider opening for stepping into the shoe. At the same time the shoe needs to be adjustable to guarantee a strong hold around the ankle and instep point. The shoe can be opened up widely by using the zipper on its side. To adjust the shoe to the individual foot a belt running over its top can be fixed in various positions with the help of magic tape.
