Swapna Barman, the Indian heptathlon athlete, has two extra fingers one each in both her foot and those feet don’t fit in a general average person’s shoes. So as a solution to this unique problem Adidas has announced that the company would be providing seven customized pairs of shoes to the athlete, one for each sport in her heptathlon event.
After Barman won the gold medal at the Asian Games, her problem to find the right shoes for her six-fingered feet shot to the news. Now Adidas seems to have come with a solution for the conundrum.

The customized solutions for Swapna have been crafted keeping in mind size, pressure points and cushioning requirements to provide her the perfect fit, comfort, and traction.
