Well-heeled

They laughed at Tanya Heath as she changed from flats to heels when she got to her office in Paris. “So I always wore high heels,” she said, “until a small accident inspired me to create a multi-height shoe.” Two circumstances contributed to her success: “The fact that I was teaching at a top engineering school, and that two of the real struggles in France are engineering and fashion.” The first five years, Tanya was ridiculed and insulted and people called her a liar to her face. Today, in her shops in Paris, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Yorkville and Yorkdale in Toronto, with more to come, her chic Parisian style shoes are on display—along with heels of every height and colour that are simply clicked in and out. If the colour is not on her Wall of Heels, it doesn't exist. Go from a breakfast meeting, or family dinner to a nightclub in one pair of shoes that change their look from serious to sexy with different heels. Savvy travellers don't pack more shoes, they pack more heels. www.tanyaheath.com/en
