Meet the former Chloe designers who want to create a more comfortable stiletto
Briefly

Paule Tenaillon, formerly head shoe designer at Chloé, is tackling the notorious discomfort of stilettos with her new brand, Nomasei. Emphasizing design tweaks for comfort, she has launched two stiletto models with a minimalist 1990s aesthetic. Her innovative approach includes a shorter heel for stability, memory foam cushioning, and design inspirations from dance shoes to improve wearability. The release comes after customer requests for stilettos, showcasing Tenaillon's commitment to creating stylish yet comfortable footwear, marking a significant shift in designer footwear considerations.
The ‘BeforeSunrise’ sandal and ‘Gattaca’ pump both reflect a minimalist aesthetic inspired by the 1990s, yet prioritize comfort without sacrificing style.
