The present invention relates to a convertible shoe, which is convertible between a high heel mode and a low heel mode, the convertible shoe comprising a front part, a first rear part having a heel, and a second rear part having a heel which is lower than the heel of the first rear part, wherein the first and second rear parts are exchangeable, allowing the shoe to be converted between the high heel mode and the low heel mode, wherein the convertible shoe comprises a coupling between the front part and the rear part which allows coupling and uncoupling of the front part and rear part and exchanging the rear part, wherein the coupling comprises a front coupling part provided at a rear end of the front part and a rear coupling part provided at a forward end of the rear part.

A rapid-entry shoe allows the shoe to be rapidly entered and readied for wearing by the user. The shoe may be any of a wide variety of shoe types, including shoes of a wide variety of styles and functions. The rapid entry features of the shoes utilize various movable elements that are attached to a sole portion or other portion of the shoe and allow movement of a portion of the shoe under pressure to allow rapid entry of the user's foot into the shoe. The moveable elements may include flexible elements, elements having constructed to have a memory of a native position, magnetic elements, and/or elastic elements.

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 heel integration system for a shoe includes an insert configured to be disposed in the shoe and to receive an AFO brace. The insert has a heel portion and an ankle portion. The ankle portion has at least one recess formed on an interior surface thereof. The recess is configured to receive at least one projection of the AFO brace. Advantageously, the heel integration system allows wearers with AFO braces to utilize properly sized shoes. It should be appreciated that the insert provides a predetermined clearance within the shoe for the AFO brace. Additionally, the insert of the heel integration system may militate against damage to the interior of the shoe that may otherwise be caused by friction between the AFO brace and the shoe where the insert is not utilized.

Disclosed herein is a shoe with a replaceable heel Tire shoe with a replaceable heel includes: a shoe body including an outsole configured to support the overall sole of a foot of a user and an upper configured to surround the foot of the user; a base heel formed to protrude from tire bottom surface of the outsole of the shoe body and provided with a first coupling portion; anti a replaceable heel coupled to the bottom of the base heel and provided with a second coupling portion that is formed at a location opposite to the first coupling portion and is coupled with the first coupling portion.

Provided is a shoe with a replaceable screw-on heel.

A heel structure with an adjustable height includes a support rod, adjustment rod, and retractable element. The support rod is penetrated by a through hole. Tracks and engaging grooves are disposed on the wall of the through hole. The engaging grooves are in communication with the tracks and run horizontally. The adjustment rod penetrates the through hole and undergoes displacement. Resilient engaging bumps are disposed above the adjustment rod and thus resiliently pressed within the tracks. The tracks abut against the engaging bumps such that the engaging bumps retract. The retractable element is rotated such that circular pipes of different diameters decreasing downward and stepwise are fitted together so as to be folded and unfolded. A hollow-core mounting region is defined centrally at the circular pipes. A fitting hole is disposed at the lowest circular pipe and fixedly disposed on an outer wall of the bottom of the adjustment rod.
