hat if there were high
heels so comfortable,
versatile and wellmade that you never had to buy another pair ever again? That was the
spark behind Kiki Price. Founders
Kim (Kiki) Baltzell and Lucy Price
know first hand that the search for
high heels, both comfortable and
sexy, can feel as elusive and futile
as the quest for the Holy Grail. So
instead of searching endlessly for
something that doesn’t exist they
decided to create it on their own; a
pair of shoes that is as easy on the
foot as it is sleek and elevated. Over
the course of 18 months, Lucy
brought her decades of creative expertise as an interior designer and
hotelier and Kim applied her pragmatism as a nurse and scientist to
create the perfect pair of red carpetworthy heels that can be worn for
hours on end. Alongside foot and
ankle surgeon, Dr. Richard M. Jay,
they were able to develop a molded
anatomical last and insole that distributes the weight of the body evenly around the foot. The result is a
shoe that’s not only better for the
foot but better for the back, posture
and entire body. Kiki Price shoes are
the sweatpants of high heels; luxurious shoes that allow the foot to
breathe a sigh of relief instead of
wincing in pain.
