Blue further noted how sawdust was incorporated into bread dough to make it more ‘nutritious’ during the war. “I find that this reflects their needs and way of living perfectly—just as the fresh bread shoes’ videos trending today reflects our contemporary ways, where humble sustenance is less connected to food and closer to entertainment and social display or acceptance,” she added. Though bread shoes are comfortable and soft, they aren’t practical if it starts to rain!” Melegh enlightened. “But seriously, I think we won’t use actual bread as shoes not only because food prices are increasing, but also because I hope we are going towards a more sustainable fashion industry and wasting food can’t fit into this.” The designer personally visualises a more “look-alike” approach to the trend with the juxtaposition and assemblages of ordinary objects rather than using actual food in fashion. “Using factory waste and making food-looking pieces from it is a better route,” she explained.

Dezeen AwardsA professor of biomechanics from the Norwegian School of Sports Science, Dr Hannah Rice looks at how people walk and run with a view to understanding injury risk. She tells Greg that the preoccupation with cushioning and measures to prevent pronation (how much your foot moves inwards when you run) could be misleading. For the uninitiated, the term ‘bread shoes’ might sound pretty straightforward: an edible and (questionably) wearable trend where you cut up loaves of bread and don them as footwear. Well, that’s what I thought too until I interviewed a bunch of enthusiasts who have debuted their own take on the trend over the years. There’s more to bread shoes than what meets the eye, to say the yeast . As a mother, I tell my child to not play with his food. [But] when he’s sleeping, I play with food in a defying gesture of what entails to be a responsible or perfect parent or artist,” she explained. “I grew up watching my mum challenging the traditional gender stereotype that a woman belongs in the kitchen. I follow these memories with my take on creating works that seem like they are domestic (yet deliberate) accidents with subtle humour: ‘Oops! Look what happened in the kitchen…’.” Paying more to prevent injury may be a grey area, but performance is another matter. Sports technologist Professor Mike Caine explains that in the shoes worn by the likes of Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge, the heel strike – the point at which the runner first hits the ground – is losing the wearer less energy.

Dezeen Jobs Weekly When asked about her take on the so-called trend gripping users online, Melegh started by highlighting how bread has become a centrepiece of diets worldwide. “Honestly, I think it’s awful that some people are capable of wasting edible food just to get more views,” she admitted. “We live in a century in which we could stop hunger around the world. It’s fun to experiment with food that isn’t edible or otherwise wasted, but I recommend donating unwanted food that hasn’t crossed the expiration date or rather donating to charities the money they would spend on bread to cut up for views.” Blue also pointed out a particular element in her work that confronts what’s expected from her as a multifaceted woman and, consequently, releases socially-repressed desires—challenging what being a ‘capable’ mother and a dedicated artist actually means.She also explains that recent research under the banner of the 'preferred movement path paradigm' suggests that "whatever shoe you put a person in, the skeleton will follow a particular path during running and you're not really able to change it with footwear or with insoles". 4. Improved performance doesn't mean improved fitness From my grandparents and parents’ generations, I recall their stories of going to bed with hunger as their company after long and exhausting days of working in the fields. Whenever there was any stale bread, they would use it with warm milk (fresh from the goat or cow) and peppermint leaves to create a kind of soup.

Dezeen Events Guide When it comes to comfort, cushioning may well make the wearer feel good. However, whether it can help prevent injury is another matter.For footwear and accessory designer Anna Melegh , her interest in bread shoes stemmed from an evergreen fascination with the idea of continuous production and consumption of objects, food and people. “I started to question why things that should last, do not, and those which shouldn’t , actually do,” Melegh told SCREENSHOT, highlighting how she has created a pair of bread shoes and sandwich slippers that were both part of her MA Footwear collection at London College of Fashion . This is one of your most-requested topics and as a keen runner myself I couldn’t wait to get into it. Barefoot shoes claim to encourage you to run in a more ‘natural’ way, landing on your mid or forefoot rather than on your heel.
