DESIGNER Q&A

Spring 2017 “Cameo”

When did you first take an interest in product design?

From the time I was able to pick up a pencil as a child, I’ve always liked to draw. My interest in product design started during art class in high school, when one assignment was to pencil sketch a pair of worn sneakers. I found them to be a very interesting subject to draw.

With 30 years of footwear experience you must have seen it all?

I have been involved in most every aspect of footwear manufacturing, from designing to pattern making, production commercialization, material sourcing and line building. I certainly have an understanding from many perspectives!

Q A

What’s been inspiring you lately?

I think the most inspiring thing for me is the endless variety of new materials and upper constructions that have been developed recently.

Do you have a favorite Propét shoe?

Q A

I would say one of our new styles for Spring 2017 called “Cameo” What’s the story behind it? This style is part of a new collection for Spring 2017, using very soft full grain sheep leather uppers with leather lining and a light weight PU outsole. The upper has large cut-outs to give the shoe a very open “summertime” feel.

2011

2016

What is it that you hope people take away from Propét?

I would hope that they find Propét can be their “go to” brand for comfort as I am designing with up to date styling and constructions, as well as including many modern technical features.

Can you tell me a little bit about the anatomy of Propét shoes? What makes them distinctive?

Propét believes comfort starts with fit.

We never want to hear that anyone is settling for shoes that pinch or slip.

Every Propét shoe is constructed with that in mind. Our foundation starts with the Last having the proper shape and measurements to build shoes that fit true to size. We offer sizes and widths, but I also design with adjustability features to insure our shoes can fit virtually every foot.
