ABOUT VICEVERSA

What is your founding story?

Our founder, Alanna Fusaro, was living in New York City and had many special occasions cut short because her feet were in pain. She found herself daydreaming how great it would be if her heels could fold to flats. So Alanna set out to invent it.

She saw this product as an opportunity to build the footwear brand she always wished existed. A brand with functionality, a source for inspiration, thoughtful design, accessible and speaks to you - not down to you. The company's DNA would be rooted in industrial design fundamentals and use 3D printing and CAD design to challenge the traditional fashion design process and create opportunities for invention.

What is your design DNA?

The cornerstone of VICE VERSA’s product design DNA is old meets new - a light hearted mix of the retro glam of Hollywood, the feminine style of Georgia O'Keeffe with space grade metals and materials.
‍
VICE VERSA’s design process is to conceptualize many ideas-then narrow down to the very best few pieces to manufacture. Quality pieces that can be maintained and live in your closet forever.

PRODUCT

Why doesn't this exist yet?

We were wondering the same thing! Our best guess is because this is a very difficult product to invent. Not only does it need to look good, but it needs to support a lot of weight (1,000+ lbs of weight multiplies down the heel). It specifically took us 100s of iterations to make a functional product and 500+ iterations to refine the product to be where it is today.

Also, innovations in computer aided modeling and 3D printing make now the perfect time for a folding heel to be invented.

Are they sustainable?

Our first step towards sustainability is our preorder model. This helps us to not over produce.

In addition, we are producing the shoes with a small, family run factory in Spain to ensure fair and safe working conditions.

Longer term, we are committed to sustainability and actively reducing our carbon footprint across our supply chain.

Are they safe?

Absolutely! This product is the result of 3.5+ years of research and development. We've worked with top mechanical engineers to refine the technology. We also have tested the durability and reliability with Boeing quality engineers to insure the heel locks strong and does not wobble.

How do they work?

VICE VERSAs fold to flats in seconds, with a click of a button, thanks to our patent pending foldable heel technology.They work by having an extra strong push button to release and lock the heel. The shoes also use a series of linkages that move in synchrony to transform between heel and flat mode.
