Patient creates shoe that helps people with bunions

About the solution

Shahmaz was left facing surgery when a Eureka! moment saw her put pen to paper, designing a shoe. Shahmaz created a 3D design of a shoe that works by gradually separating the big toe from the rest, and slowly moving it in to a position that reduces pain and discomfort. Afterwards, she took the design to a shoemaker and had a prototype made, which she claims has helped her feet immensely.
