FAQs

1. Comfort & Practicality

Are your shoes comfortable enough to walk in all day?

Yes.

TANYA HEATH Paris shoes are designed to be worn all day, even with heels.

The principle of interchangeable heels is simple: you can change height in 3 seconds.

You wear a high heel when you want to, then switch to a low 4 cm heel to walk, move around, or go about your day.

This allows you to limit prolonged wear of high heels while staying elegant.

Each model is designed with:

  • a memory foam insole
  • soft leather (lambskin or suede goatskin)
  • a non-slip outer sole

The interchangeable heel system was developed over 3 years with 14 engineers.

The result: a heeled shoe you can truly wear from morning to evening.

Are these shoes suitable if I have foot or back pain?

Yes.

Being able to alternate between different heel heights helps reduce fatigue and pressure on the feet, knees, and back.

The 4 cm low heel provides a more natural support for walking, while the memory foam insole absorbs impact with each step.

What is the difference between your shoes and a traditional high heel?

A traditional high heel has a fixed height.

With TANYA HEATH Paris, you can adapt your heel height throughout your day without changing shoes. One pair can be worn:

  • with a high heel
  • with a mid heel
  • with a low heel

The interchangeable heel system is protected by a patent.

2. Style & Occasions

Are your shoes suitable for a wedding or ceremony?

Yes.

You can wear a high heel for the ceremony and photos, then switch to a low or mid heel for the celebration and dancing.

The change takes 3 seconds, without changing shoes.

The same pair can then be worn again in everyday life with different heels.

Can your shoes be worn at the office all day?

Yes.

TANYA HEATH Paris shoes are designed for working days.

You can wear a high heel for meetings, then switch to a lower heel to walk, move around, or stand for longer periods.

Interchangeable heels allow you to adapt both your style and your comfort throughout the day.

One pair can be used for multiple occasions simply by changing the heel.
