A shoe with spikes is disclosed. The shoe includes an accommodation seat, at least one moving plate, a transmission module, a plurality of posts, a plurality of spikes, and a shoe plate. The accommodation seat includes a chamber. The moving plate is disposed in the chamber and controlled to move between a first position and a second position, and includes a plurality of push members. The transmission module is configured to move the moving plate. The posts extend from the accommodation seat toward the ground. The spikes are fixed to the posts and extend out of the chamber. When the moving plate is in the first position, the spikes protrude out of the shoe plate relative to the ground. When the moving plate is moved to the second position, the push members push the shoe plate, and the spikes do not protrude out of the shoe plate.

A footwear construction capable of incorporating one to three or more platform layers, or no platform layers at all. The invention comprises a kit including a sneaker member, optionally includable in the final construction first second and third platform members, guide members, optionally in sets of three, suitable for inclusion in a constructed footwear item with one, two or three platform members, and a tread its sole member, optionally replaceable by other types of soles.

A convertible shoe may include a sole and a plurality of interchangeable heel portions, each selectively attachable to the sole. The heel portions may each include a mounting surface configured to interface with a heel receiver of the sole. The heel receiver may include a fixed hook and a movable hook, with the movable hook being operable by an actuator coupled to a bottom surface of the sole.

Soles for shoes that have removable outer sole pieces and methods of making soles for shoes that have removable outer sole pieces are provided. The soles include a first sole layer having a toe portion with a toe portion track and a heel portion with a heel portion track. The sole also includes at least one set of outer sole pieces, where the outer sole toe piece is slidably received by the toe track and the outer sole heel piece is slidably received by the heel track. Methods of making soles include forming a first sole layer having a toe portion with a toe portion track and a heel portion with a heel portion track, forming an outer sole toe piece configured to be slidably received by the toe track, and forming an outer sole heel piece configured to be slidably received by the heel track.
