A footwear sole apparatus which has a base member and at least one insert (principal insert and/or heel insert) as well as one or more locking mechanisms, comprised of a configuration to fit or replace the sole or partial sole of a pair or pairs of footwear. The base member is either pre-attached to a new shoe(s) or fitted onto the sole of an existing shoe(s). The base member can be attached to the insert(s), having one or more locking mechanisms to enhance interconnectivity of the base member and insert(s).

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. In some examples, an upper is secured to the sole of the shoe by one or more clamping plates. In some examples, the sole of the shoe is configured to be biased into a default bend corresponding to a high-heeled state even when a low heel is attached to the heel receiver.

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.

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.

A convertible shoe assembly for converting a shoe between a high heel shoe and a flat shoe includes a sole that can be stood upon by a wearer. A strap is coupled to the sole to form a bridge to retain the sole on the wearer's foot. A heel panel is hingedly coupled to the sole. The heel panel is positionable in a first position has the heel panel lying on a plane is coplanar with the sole. Additionally, the heel panel is positionable in a second position having the heel panel forming an angle with the sole. A pair of heels is provided and each of the heels has a height is different from each other. A respective one of the heels is removably coupled to the heel panel for selecting a height of the heel panel. In this way the sole and the heels can form either a high heel shoe or a flat shoe.
