Fidgeting Style-ettos are high-heeled
shoes with a difference, and this
becomes apparent
when viewing the modified heel.
Normally
this is a single column that elevates the
heel of the shoe and therefore the foot,
but in the Fidgeting Style-etto, the single
support has been replaced by
a pair of
legs.
Purchasers my choose from a range of
legs,
both male and female. The legs may also
be clad in stockings or left bare, and
since
each leg terminates in another shoe,
these
also afford the opportunity for even more
customising and individuality.
The shoes behave normally when used
for
simple walking actions, but should the
wearer be presented with a situation
where they must remain in one place for
a
long time, they can be switched over to
"fidget" mode.
This causes a concealed motor to
alternatively flex and relax the
supporting
legs at the knees. The result is a gentle
rocking of the foot that is transmitted up
the legs and into the hips of the wearer.

legged version)

Cool, a pair of gloves whereas the fingers are replaced with arms to go with these? [+] |

Opportunities for a bit of repetition on the smaller set of heels, and so on. |

I like the design, but anything that has heels move in random ways is likely to encounter serious implementation problems. (If the thing inadvertently kicks in while walking, as it were, you'll have a bunch of broken ankle lawsuits on your hands.) |

And bunions for all! Flann O'Brien would be proud of this idea. + |
