I wore high heels to work , to restaurants , to parties . ' I wore them everywhere but I could never manage the pain . Once I nearly had a car accident when my heel locked under the break . ' I just fantasised non-stop about a shoe where you could just take the heels off , and that would go from a comfortable low-heel to a high-heel , and still make me look good ! ' Tanya has admitted that it was difficult to create a shoe , where the composition would n't change depending on the height of the heel . 'It took 14 engineers and two and a half years to perfect the arch and the clip . 'Once we had a working principle , over 10 designers , shoe technicians and last specialists worked on creating styles that work in multi-height . ' Her shoe collection has now become fully integrated with her own wardrobe . She has worn a style from the collection 'every day of my life for the past 3 years !
