A little behind-the-scenes on how Kate created the padded “bubble” effect on her heels 💫
It’s way simpler than it looks:
Just cut strips of foam, stitch between them and you get that pillowy, quilted texture we’re all obsessed with.
She used it on the straps and the heel - such a fun way to add something unexpected to a classic silhouette.

And if you’re already eyeing up the materials for your own pair, here’s what you’ll need:
• Mid-heel lasts
• Mid block heels
• Shanked insoles
• Resin soling
• Leather
