It slips onto the foot like a sock and pads the heel to make an oversized shoe fit better and keep the user’s heel from popping out at the back.

Last Friday, we presented our final product at Community Rowing. Here I am modeling our wedge sleeve for a rower there:
I’m so glad that I decided to take this class. It has really broadened my horizons and taught me a lot about brainstorming, creativity, design, and teamwork. Wellesley continues to push me to the boundaries of my comfort zone and beyond. This week I’m giving thanks for my education at Wellesley College.
This week in the KSC (Sports Center).
