Mariana,
Stephen Gilson and I have focused our major research agenda on design. While not directed at shoes, the article manuscript ( it published in RDS) that I am attaching is about designing and branding disability.
A second related article published in DSQ
http://dsq-sds.org/article/view/1247/1274
We wrote several earlier articles about designing humans into categories through products including fashion.
Now we are in the process of writing a book to be published by Routledge about disability design. Let me know if you are interested in seeing any of it.
Good luck with your work.
Liz
