Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010122527A2] The invention provides a heel for a shoe including a butt-end securable to a shoe and a base providing a heel tip at its free end. The base is movable in relation to the butt-end, with the base and butt-end connected through telescopic components. A cooperating sleeve within the heel is provided with a keyway profiled to fit over a key on the end of a pin when the keyway and key are aligned. The sleeve and pin are configured to hold the heel in a retracted condition when the pin is in the sleeve and to hold the heel in an extended condition when the pin is withdrawn from the sleeve. The invention further provides a mechanism to rotate the pin with its key and the sleeve with its keyway, into alignment to enable movement of the heel between the retracted and extended conditions.
