Abstract
Shoes today regularly use glue to hold the parts together,
this makes it hard to restore the shoe when
needed. So, instead of repairing the used shoe we
buy new ones once it gets a little worn or tattered,
even though the majority of the shoe is in good condition.

My product has been developed by the principle of
design for disassembly, to easily take it apart and
recycle it. The modularity also enables the user to
reuse and change worn out parts of the shoe, which
prolong the lifetime of the shoe and benefit the environment.
The upper toe box is made wider for better ergonomics
as well as minimize tear on the material. The sole is

The upper toe box is made wider for better ergonomics
as well as minimize tear on the material. The sole is
made replaceable which gives the
user the opportunity of changing it when it’s worn
out or when they want a change of style. Restoring
shoes is most commonly done by a cobbler, which
takes time and can be expensive. The modular shoe
subtracts that obstacle with its user friendly agenda
- anyone can change the sole. (Less)
