The Spotlight Cabinet in the Shoe Quarter is the domain of La Mer Orthopedic Footwear for the next three months. Perhaps for many people, the term orthopedic shoes conjures up a feeling of solid, boring and, above all, purposeful footwear. Today's options require us to break that image hard. Be surprised by how beautiful orthopedic shoes can be. That they can go perfectly well hand in hand with fashion and art.
In the Shoe Quarter, besides looking and learning, it's about participation and awareness. In the Spotlight Cabinet, we pay attention to those principles, combined with current events. Within the orthopedic craft of La Mer, all these things come together: because besides being modern and fashion-conscious, sustainability is also one of the principles of these makers. We therefore believe that this craftsmanship deserves a real stage in our museum.
