The high fashionable appearance is given priority in high heeled shoes design. The comfort during wearing high heeled shoes is low. Especially the impact at heel contact during walking with high heeled shoes is larger than low heeled shoes. In this research, we proposed high heeled shoes with suspension that is composed of leaf springs for more comfortable high heeled shoes. The proposed heel parts with suspension can absorb the impact at heel contact by deflection of leaf spring. We confirmed that the proposed high heel had the smoother shock at heel contact compared with ordinary high heeled shoes.
