Footwear
simply isn’t about protecting the feet and keeping it clean. Footwear is a
fashion statement. Every woman cannot carry every type of footwear. The design
of each footwear is peculiar to current trends in the fashion world. Footwear
Design may not necessarily look into the aspect of comfort. Usually the
design of women’s footwear caters to style, colour and texture more than the
comfort aspect of a shoe. For nothing ugly and undesirable can be worn by a
woman who may or may not be fashion conscious.
A Footwear
Design Course looks into the comfort aspect of footwear and keeps in
mind this very basic need in order to create a well-fitting footwear for the
consumer. The design course teaches students to create footwear methodically
following certain parameters and keeping in mind the design elements and
principles.
Shoe
designers aim at making high end but comfortable and wearable footwear to suit
the needs of all. Wedges and flats are now a favourite with footwear designers
without compromising on elegance, or comfort. They also keep in mind the health
aspect of especially women when designing footwear for them. A footwear design
must be such as to not cause pain in the knee and calf or the lower back.
Rather it must be as easy on feet as can be. While those designing footwear must
design for comfort, it is also upon women to choose the correct footwear not
merely to create a fashion statement but also for the sake of well-being. That
is why many footwear designers in India today make shoes according to one’s
specification and design keeping the relaxation of foot in mind as a top
priority for their clients.
Footwear Design Courses train students in a way as to turn
them into professionals who can understand the dynamics of global business
environment and with their study and knowledge meet the ever growing demands of
footwear retail and other related industries in a modern set-up. They team
technology with practicality and can churn out some fantastic and innovative
footwear designs.
The footwear
design course at FDDI, a government of India enterprise, is a well-known
institute in the field of footwear design and production offering a bachelor of
design and also an MBA in footwear design and production. The students here are
taught to focus on concept building in the area of footwear manufacturing
technology and its management.
