A convertible high heel and flat shoe, comprising a sole including a heel section; and a high heel piece positionable between a high heel mode where the high heel piece supports the heel section and a flat shoe mode where the high heel piece is received within the sole.

An adjustable shoe includes an outsole having a middle portion hingedly attached to a forefoot portion and a heel portion. A segmented driveshaft spans from the forefoot portion of the outsole to the heel portion. Rotation of a front segment of the driveshaft causes the forefoot portion of the outsole to rotate about a hinge axis thereby adjusting a forefoot angle. A first motor is connected to the driveshaft and operable to rotate the driveshaft. A processor is in communication with the first motor and programmed to operate the first motor to provide adjustment to the shoe. A method of adjusting a shoe includes receiving a signal representing a measured force on a portion of an outsole of the shoe. If the measured force exceeds a pre-determined threshold, a motor is activated to change an angle of a forefoot portion of the outsole relative to a middle portion.

A transformable shoe is an apparatus that allows a user to customize the height of the shoe. The apparatus includes a shoe body, at least one interchangeable heel, and a lift-receiving bed. The shoe body surrounds and supports the foot against the ground. The interchangeable heel uplifts the shoe body above the ground. More specifically, the interchangeable heel uplifts a heel seat above the ground and defines an arch of the foot. The interchangeable heel may be a collapsible heel and solid wedge body. The height of the apparatus is dependent on the arrangement of the plurality of anthropomorphic members for the collapsible heel and the fixed height of the solid wedge body. The interchangeable heel includes a heel-bracing portion. The lift-receiving bed is integrated into a shank of the shoe body, and the heel-bracing portion is mounted adjacent to a heel seat of the shoe body.

An adjustable heel support member includes a base portion and an extended portion. The extended portion comprises a lateral portion, a medial portion and a rearward portion. The heel support member further includes a fastening member that can be used to adjust the lateral portion, the medial portion and the rearward portion to resize the heel support member. In some cases, the fastening member may be an elastic ring.
