Default The world's first adjustable high-heel

The world's first adjustable high-heel


One of the most common wardrobe dilemmas could soon be consigned to history with the world's first adjustable high-heeled shoes.


Using a concealed flip down stainless steel heel, the CAMiLEON Heels shoe can change from a 3" to 1" heel in one quick movement.

The high heel can clip in under the shoe


With over 23 designer styles the footwear being sold in the U.S costs £150 per pair.
Co-creator Lauren Handel beleives it is a milestone in the development of footwear.
Tall celebrities such as Nicole Kidman may be relieved to have an adjustable heel


"If ever necessity was the mother of invention, this is it," she said.
"For the first time, it offers women the possibility to combine fashion, comfort and convenience - all in one shoe."
Handmade in Italy using luxurious Italian leathers, the idea was conceived and developed by Lauren's brother Dr David Handel, who wanted to give business women an alternative to wearing sports shoes on their to work.
Launched just four months ago across the U.S Lauren beleives the popularity of the adjustable heel shows that women the world over have been crying out for it.
"The response to our shoes has been thrilling for us and as we hear and read customer testimonials there is a deep sense of gratification for all of the efforts that went in to making our vision a reality," she said.
"We would want for women all over the world who want or need to wear high heels to have all the benefits available to them that an adjustable-height high heel offers."
CAMiLEON Heels can be purchased in the UK at Zappos.com

Ugly as shit and way to weird. It strikes me as some strange '50's invention.

It's worse than hideous and it's a gimmick, which makes it even worse.

It is a hideous shoe. It also looks flimsy, like the heel will come off easily. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I'd rather have two nice looking pairs of shoes than pay £150 for one pair of uglies.

I think the idea is great, but the execution is flawed. Considering the number of women who have chronic foot/back problems from wearing high heels, it's a nifty invention. I love high heels but there is no way I can walk any distance more than a block, or stand for hours on end in a classroom wearing them.

Even wearing two-inch heels and standing any length of time causes back problems.
