The concept of Show Stopper Shoe Topper is a covering to be positioned atop the heels of women's shoes to provide added strength and support while protecting this component of the footwear. The footwear accessory could provide wearers with added comfort as well as an eye-catching addition to the shoe. This protective product would consist of a cylindrical sleeve, produced from a durable rubber, which would rest atop the heel. Positioned upon the bottom of the Show Stopper Shoe Topper would be a circular base. I envision this product would be in the shape of a wine glass stem. I would be possible to produce the Show Stopper Shoe Topper in sizes to accommodate various styles and sizes of women's footwear. The Show Stopper Shoe Topper could be produced in heights from 2 to 10 inches with the width measuring 1/16 to inch.

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.

An interchangeable shoe heel for a shoe having a shoe body with a heel part, the heel part having a metal rod extending over at least half the length of the shoe heel, and connected to the heel part, the rod protruding with its free end from the heel part. The shoe heel has a first part having an upper recess into which the rod engages with its free end and/or the heel part. The upper recess has a support surface, e.g., a collar or base wall, on its inner wall, on which the rod or a support area of the heel part is supported in the axial direction of the rod. A heel tip is arranged on the lower end of the first part, and the first part is covered by and connected to an encasing wall, extending from the heel tip up to the shoe body.

The present invention is a sole having an adjustable height mechanism along at least one of the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis whereby the height of the sole can be adjusted creating one or more angles of inclination in the sole. The sole includes, in one embodiment, slidable spacing blocks. In a preferred embodiment, the sole further includes a motor connected to at least one block, the motor connected to a controller communicating wirelessly to a processor providing instructions to the controller for positioning the one or more blocks.

An interchangeable heel member comprising a locking mechanism is provided. The locking mechanism comprises a pin member operated by a button. The interchangeable heel member is coupled to a shoe by means of the pin member. The shoe comprises a groove provided at a heel plate. The pin member is made to fit in the groove to hold the interchangeable heel member to the shoe. In order to remove the interchangeable heel member from the shoe, the button is pressed and the pin member is released from the groove. The interchangeable heel member is replaced with replacement heels that differ in height or diameter.
