INTERCHANGEABLE HEELS ARE ENGINEERED FOR COMFORT AND STYLE BY CANADIAN SHOEMAKER TANYA HEATH

After making a name for herself abroad, a Canadian designer now has a shop in her homeland. The eponymous Yorkville boutique of Tanya Heath carries her innovative interchangeable-heel footwear, which she started developing in 2009 with a team of 14 engineers and shoe technicians. The result is a shoe system offering maximum comfort with customizable style. Simply purchase a shoe base ($495 to $1,000) and then mix and match among four different heel heights ranging from 4.5 to 8.5 centimetres ($45 to $145), which can be locked in place with a simple click.  —Linda Luong
