That’s always a concern of mine when I wear my nice shoes and use public transportation, I’m afraid to trip and fall on the unsteady platforms all because I wanted to wear nice heels.

Here’s a proposition that one UK Car Insurance group, Sheila’s Wheels, came up with to solve the solution: a convertible shoe that turns from flat to stiletto from whipping out the heel from the bottom of the shoe.

Convertible heels, the next step in shoe design?

Ta dah! Instant glamour.

Being a mere prototype, we’re not really sure if they’re as comfortable as both heel and flat, but they sure do look cute. I can see this working in the long run, it’s highly convenient and efficient. 2 pairs in 1, how can you go wrong?

Sheila’s Wheels are working on developing the project, but there aren’t any specific dates when these babies will be available. Here’s to another step to shoe evolution.
