G.O.A.T. Climbing Shoes
How might we deepen the connection between the adventurer and the wilderness?
DESIGN RESEARCH & INSIGHTS
Ideation and sketching
3D Modeling
Features: incorporating key insights from the research
-Split toe design to find smaller footholds and conform to holds.
-Denser rubber shell outside the rand allows for more effective edging.
-Sole projecting lower than the outer shell for increased traction.
Outcomes
This shoe design has the potential to increase the performance of any climber’s capabilities.
By using mountain goat’s adaptations, this design hopes to build empathy between the climber’s experience and their animal co-habitants.
