Your Research: Polyhedral and prismatic cells, structures occurring in nature. Fashion, culture and evolution of the sandals. Articulation and mechanics of walking...all used to justify your final design.Appearance (Aesthetics and proportions)

Comfort and fit

WearabilityStructural support of the specific weight (your foot) and location relative to your walking pattern
