I cant believe that I have never thought about creating this idea in the first place!!! It seems as though inventor Dr David Handel beat me to the punch. The radiologist came up with the genius idea when he traveled to New York Citys Fifth Avenue over 20 years ago. Dr Handel said that he was struck by the number of women who were walking to work in their trainers, with their stilettos in their handbags ready to change into once they reached to the office. This is a code that almost every New York City woman abides by when they are pressed for time, only the professionals sport their high - end pumps along the uneven pavements of NYC.
Dr Handels young son was obsessed with Transformer toys [which are known for turning into robots], and he decided to apply the same theory to womens shoes. With the help of his sister Lauren Handel the
Camileon Heel was born. To much avail these shoes are already available in the States.
Camileon Heels stands at a 3 1/4" inch heel, which can be transformed into a comfortable 1" inch heel in only three seconds. The shoes have been said to work because of a steel rod located inside of the stiletto heel, which can be pulled out , locked & tucked into a hidden compartment located under the arch of the shoe. All of this can be done without even taking your shoe off!!! A locking mechanism ensures that the rod snaps safely into position, preventing any mishaps when the heel is worn at its tallest position.
Dr David Handels wife states For the first time, women will be able to combine fashion, comfort and convenience all in one shoe." The
Camileon Heel shoe comes in nine styles, from the traditional court style shoe onto slingback pumps. Could you imagine doing this to a pair of
Manolos or
Jimmy Choos??? Ladies these Camileon Heels arent cheap either.....the
Camileon Heel will run you approximately $300 a pop. Camileon Heels can be found via
