Provided is a walkable shoe having a glass-like appearance. The shoe has a heel portion, a sole portion provided on the heel portion, and an upper portion provided on the sole portion; wherein the heel portion and the sole portion are made almost entirely of an organic glass, and the upper portion is made almost entirely of an organic glass.

A convertible shoe may include a lightly padded and flexible sole to facilitate a comfortable fit and steady footing and a removable heel. A new shoe having removable heels for permitting a user to wear a single pair of shoes which can be used in high heel form and in a flat form is disclosed. The new shoe device includes a sole having opposite heel and toe ends. The device further includes a disjoined heel removable from the heel of the sole. The heel includes a slot that extends linearly the length of the heel. The heel of the sole includes a recessed portions that extends the length of the sole that is removable engaged therewith.

The invention relates to a sole component for a shoe suitable for use with different heels. The sole component comprises a front, a middle and a rear sole portion and comprises a mechanism for adjusting the sole curvature in a transition region between the front and the middle sole portion. The mechanism comprises a rotatable supporting element which is provided in such a way that it may have a first angular position which causes a first sole curvature in the transition region and a second angular position which causes a second sole curvature in the transition region, wherein the first sole curvature is different from the second sole curvature.

A shoe having a hinge member incorporated between a footbed toe plate and footbed arch plate allowing the shoe to be configured as a flat or heeled shoe. The footbed toe plate and footbed arch plate are rotatably joined via one or more hinge pins inserted through interlaced teeth of each plate. A spring-biased hinge lock extending between the plates is controlled by a spring-biased pin having a notch for selectively receiving the hinge lock such that the hinge lock disengages the footbed arch plate allowing the footbed arch plate to rotate relative to the footbed toe plate. The heel block includes a spring-biased heel lock extending into a removable heel and is controlled by a spring-biased pin having a notch for selectively receiving the hinge lock such that the hinge lock disengages the heel allowing the heel to be removed from the heel block.
