The Jil Sander Group has signed a licensing deal with Italian shoemaker Iris SpA to create men’s and women’s shoe collections starting with the spring/summer 2010 collection.

The agreement will give Iris the exclusive global license to manufacture and distribute the range. The new collection is being developed by Sander creative director Raf Simons and his design team in collaboration with the product development of Iris. The collection will be presented in the Jil Sander showrooms as well as in Iris sales offices in Milan, Paris, New York and Tokyo.

“This new license is the next strategic step since we are part of the Onward/Gibo Group,” said Gian Giacomo Ferraris, CEO of the Jil Sander Group. “After the successful establishment of our own accessory design division, our focus is on increasing the efficiency by using the excellence and know-how of Iris. This synergetic alliance will strengthen our presence on the existing markets and will give us new access to develop emerging markets.”

From kitten to stiletto, women’s dress shoes offer a variety of heights. A girl shouldn’t sacrifice comfort for style, and luckily, even the tallest stilettos are getting help in the comfort department. They point, they wedge and they flip-flop. They lace up, they zip up and they slip on.

They are your dress shoes, and when it comes to finding your sole mate, those in the footwear business say they must be many things at once: stylish, comfortable and functional. And learning how to follow your feet can help you invest in the longest-lasting shoes and save you a few blisters.

From a style perspective, shoes can draw the line between dressy and casual for an entire look. For most people who work in an office environment, shoes are part of the dress code. More laid-back workplaces allow more liberal shoe choices — such as open-toe wedge for women or a clean pair of sneakers for men — but a more button-down environment will require close-toed pumps for women and dress shoes for men.

It hurts to watch someone walking askew to make up for the pain they are enduring for those beautiful stilettos, the walk should always look natural. Those painful-looking shoes are doing more damage than a sore foot, health care providers say, and can lead to serious problems in the future.

More on shoe health

A 1-inch heel equals 25 pounds of additional pressure on the ball of your foot. Multiply that by each additional inch on the shoe’s heel.

High heels
Push the force of walking forward, throwing off your balance and affecting your knees, hips and back.

Too-small or narrow shoes
Can create bunions and hammertoes.

Too-big or no-support shoes
Can strain the toes, leg muscles and foot tendons. You can get planter fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue that runs from the heel to the base of the toes. This is stabbing heel pain.

Pump bump
Is the swollen bone spur you get when the rigid back of a pump pushes the heel bone into the base of the Achilles tendon.
