Founder

I’m Marie Avotangi, the founder of Avotangi—a brand born from personal necessity, transforming standards of high-fashion footwear. Facing an orthopedic diagnosis, I refused to accept that health and beauty couldn’t coexist. Avotangi is my answer: a fusion of timeless design and next-generation innovation, where every detail is crafted for both aesthetics and well-being.

What Makes Avotangi Unique?

Design Philosophy

Classic, well-proven silhouettes infused with modern elements for effortless elegance and unique touch

Sole Innovation

Inspired by the hourglass curves of the female body, crafted from premium Italian EVA (used for sneakers industry) ensuring optimal flexibility and biomechanics for all-day movement. A light platform supports the lower back, reducing strain with every step

Visual effect

Thoughtfully engineered proportions create the illusion of a high-heeled silhouette—elongating the leg and sculpting graceful posture and poise—all while maintaining absolute comfort

Specialized Lasts

Developed with orthopedists and movement specialists, we offer two distinct fits:

1. Regular Last – Elegant, with subtly pointed toes that maintain aesthetic sharpness without causing hallux valgus.

Also available in a barefoot version, providing extra room for natural toe alignment.

2. Kare Last – A refined square-toe shape with soft, elegant lines, balancing structure and sophistication.

Inclusive Sizing

Avotangi offers sizes 35-43, with select unisex models in sizes 41-46 for a wider range of customers
