With the fashion trend bringing the ballet flats back this year, I want to modify a flat that comes with a build-in sock as a whole for people who have no time to put socks and shoes on separately in the rush morning, also to make the flat shoe warm for people who want to wear it in cold weather. I will name the new sock-flats “Flatie” which is a bootie shoe in flats.
It’s simple steps to “modify” the flats with a connected sock. But considering people may want to wash the socks part often to keep it tidy, Flatie will use 100% wool for the sock material, because wool is a hygroscopic fibre, meaning it readily absorbs moisture – up to 35% of its own weight – keeping the skin surface drier and discouraging bacterial growth. Wool absorbs and locks way odours during wear. Also wool is a far better insulator and thermoregulator than cotton – in both hot and cold weather – with plenty of built-in breathability to boot when compared to cotton. And the flat material will be washable fabric. So hand wash or delicate mode for washing machine as much as you want to keep your Flatie clean.
I edit the photos I took in Photoshop to get rid of the background and made the IG stories.
