In Sunday’s Boston Globe, Scott Kirsner wrote an article about shoe entrepreneurs stepping into design marketing. The article talks about the event Open Runway held at Communispace back in August and how Open Runway is planning on revolutionizing the fashion industry.

In addition to Open Runway, the article also mentions fellow MassChallenger Candice Cabe and her Day-2-Night convertible heel company. Day-2-Night convertible heels will let the heel wearer decide what heel height is appropriate for an occasion by offering an adjustable heel size on their shoes. What a novel idea, right?

Be sure to check out Scott’s article here and for those of you anxiously awaiting to design their own shoes at Open Runway we have put together a video tutorial to show you how it works.
