Well Heeled

They're here. Convertibles for your feet.
Lauren Handel introduces The Camileon- shoes with retractable heels.

Handel describes making the conversion:
You simply would just pull down on the lower half of the heel, you push straight under and then push straight back.
Discussion on Today New York

In seconds it converts from a 3-¼ inch heel to 1-½ inch heel. The mechanical design was developed by Handel's brother, but the styling and production is Italian. '"There's no one like the Italians when it comes to footwear," said Handel.'
Prices start at $260.

It's really hard to walk in a woman's shoes -- that's why you sometimes need really special shoes! (Sex and the City, Season 6, Episode 9: A Woman's Right to Shoes)

I guess it's like letting the air out of the tires of a truck that gets stuck under a bridge, but for women.....

Actually, I think she was trying to marry function and style...I can't wait for the rocket propelled sneakers. Put them on and you'd be able to run faster, jump higher - For Real!
