Paul Coudamy, a talented French architect, has designed a series of hand sculpted wooden sneakers for K-Swiss footwear company.
The concept of Woodwalk is founded on a principle of distortion, a temporal contraction in which the Swiss country shoe of 19th century is crossed with the urban shoe of the 20th century.

This is art. Yet what a waste. You know, wood doesn’t grow on trees..

Wasteful? Yeah, I guess so. But I bet that the energy used to run the server on which Toxel.com resides has a more profound impact on the environment than chopping down the tree used to make those silly shoes.

Whimsy … as if the evolution of footwear took a different route … makes you think about the choice of materials used for realising a design, the possibilities and the limitations. Point taken, nice!

@Karin L.
These kind of clogs worn in the Netherlands. Not Danmark.
