As the 2015 year comes to a close, Backwards In High Heels company continues to work towards our mission. There is no such thing as over recapping on a mission statement, so we’d like to remind ourselves and customers what we are striving for. The Backwards in High Heels company was created in order to... Continue Reading →
After a recent meeting with our team, Backwards in High Heels, and our teacher/mentor Ms. Miesner, we came to the sudden realization that our product design so far (a high heeled shoe insole as seen below) was no different from many of the other insoles currently out on the market. We'd originally tried to make... Continue Reading →
One of the only reasons I decided I wanted to become an engineer was because of my love for 3-D modeling. I discovered my enjoyment for it back in 9th and 10th grade when we designed 3-D objects on Auto CAD and Google Sketch-Up. However, I'd recently taken a gap year of sorts where I...

For this blog post, I thought I'd highlight a little part of our prototyping process. One of my responsibilities these past couple of weeks was (among other things) to order the material that would cover the surface of our insert. Our group wanted something like leather; a material that would be durable, comfortable, and supportive. We started... Continue Reading →
Cheesy wordplay aside, this is serious. We're taking a little break from our designs to focus on OSHA certification, which comes in the form of a 10-hour online course that we'll work on intermittently throughout the next few weeks. OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is a government agency which was created in... Continue Reading →
It's that spooky time of year again, Halloween, and I thought I'd celebrate the holiday (which coincidentally happens to be my birthday) by highlighting some of the intense and frightening things we've been doing as part of the project. The design proposal instructions- Original picture I consider myself someone that likes writing. I've always done... Continue Reading →
This past week Backwards In High Heels has solidified designs and drawn out concept sketches of each of our individual ideas. We were given the opportunity to come together and present, discuss and give thorough explanations of each idea of our ideal heel. These high heel shoe designs were each greatly influenced by products we... Continue Reading →
These past couple weeks in our bio engineering class our group, Backwards in High Heels, has been working on the first few sketches for the product we're going to create over the course of this school year. Our original plan was to design a new pair of comfortable high heels, but after some closer looks... Continue Reading →
Think about your favorite heel. It can be from a store you just visited or one you’ve seen on the feet of runway models. Visualize it and imagine strutting down the street in them, confidence and all. What color are these dream heels? How much height have you gained? Most importantly, what material is your...

This week was all about taking our idea, research and interviews and putting them all together into a memorandum. This gives us a nice visual of all of the work we've done so far, and it's far more practical to have everything all in one place. In order to create our memorandum, we had to... Continue Reading →
