ladies, enjoy the feeling of walking in high heels? hate having to change them when preparing to drive? Try the retractable high heel shoe!(need a better name) Using a simple yet complicated steel rod system the heel can be clicked and retracted when driving is neccessary using a descreet button. (try
not to accidentally find this button whilst walking)

So, is the steel rod the heel on a hinge, or is it retracted by a steel rod? How does the simple, yet complicated system work? |
|
| |
New game for little boys - see if you can activate this "simple yet complicated" mechanism by throwing stones at button whilst high-heeled lady is walking along to see her being launched backwards. |
|
| |
Also handy for supermarkets - can't reach what's on the top shelf, sprerloing, instant 2 inches extra on height. |
|

would be simpler if they just screwed off |
|
| |
I often think things would be simpler if everyone screwed off, but I try to tolerate them instead. |
|
| |
some kind of automated power screw? that would work at the touch of a button? excellent! or as mentioned possible extedy rods for high shelves or even replacable alternate heels for the fashion conscience. these could include all sorts of gizmos |
|
| |
And where exactly do these retractable heels retract to when they're retracted? |
|
| |
Reading this, I just had an X-men flashback.
|
|
| |
"Does it hurt when they come out like that?"
"Every time." |
|

//And where exactly do these retractable heels retract to when they're retracted?// |
|
| |
Perhaps they could telescope, like some of those fancy camera lenses you see. |
|
| |
If the bottom of the shoes were thick enough, they could retract into a slot with a hinge. Would have to have some sort of locking device, like on a snowboard binding, to keep it from collapsing whilst walking. |

I have seen these on Ally McBeal. I have searched for a link, but it was all in vain (sigh).
This would be better if you could shoe-horn a compressor and ram in. Ladies could leap over tall buildings with a flying bound then. (+) |

Saw them on Ally McBeal also. They were triggered by a remote control unit. |

I hate high heels. I hate what they do to my fine oak floors. So I’ve got a crew of sweaty guys out in front of my house right now, replacing my expensive brick walkway with a cheap metal grate. That way, high heels get caught in the gaps and break off. It’s a high heel to flat heel converter. <rubbing palms together at the thought> And, oh, I’ve also increased the coverage on my personal liability policy. |

(formally Yosarian) the heels are constructed by a weave of thin steel rods that can flex and contract sort of like a set of chinese finger cuffs. I have noticed that these flex and contract well. Once locked into position these would be quite rigid providing enough support for the average human woman. |
