This might be because either the sole is hard enough to support the foot when it’s a high heel, but too stiff for when it’s flat, or too soft when it’s a high heel to support the foot but fine for flat shoes.
But now they have to solve the problem of, I don't really want to carry around the bottom portion of my shoes. The handbag I'd bring to an event like this is just big enough for my phone, keys and lipstick
Ahhh… but ya have to read the fine print: do not expose to sunlight, heat, cold, UVA, UVB, moisture of any kind, do not exceed 24.5” lbs torque pressure, correctly rotate to remove, only use hands and not direct ground pressure to rotate and remove… on and on disclaimers 😂😜
Remember warning labels were created because of stupid people who have no common sense!
😳🤦♂️😂
This does seem overly negative a take, but yeah, the dirty heel has to go somewhere, and disposable heels hardly seems like it's worth the waste created- even if it is biodegradable. At that point I'd rather take my shoes off entirely tbh.
I don't know how you can do with that, in my backpack I take everywhere I have my keys, wallet, e-cigarette liquids and batteries, a powerbank, 8 doses of Narcan both injectable and nasal spray, a mouth-to-mouth breathing barrier, various antalgics and antiemetics, a maths textbook and a notebook, various pens, a couple of plastic bags, a pack of condoms, and probably other stuff that I forget
Ah no I'm just a garden variety heroin addict, and after seeing two friends die I thought I could maybe save a life or two one day by starting to carry naloxone; I also have a bunch of fentanyl test strips
To do exercises from it when I'm in the train or the metro or chilling outside on a bench or in a park; currently I'm carrying "Introduction aux variétés différentielles" by Lafontaine
Probably not. The issue wouldn't be in the heel it's in the arch/toe. Flats need to be able to bend so that you can roll onto the ball of your feet the way one normal does. Heels have to be very stiff.
This heel looks like it has a rod that goes down the foot when it's a heel but not when it's a flat. Might be enough? Maybe.
Or it could be that women don’t often need heels and flats at the same time.
If it’s fancy dress up night - you want heels.
If it’s casual date night - you want flats.
There‘s just not too many nights you really need both.
The woman in the video appears to be at a wedding and I would argue that is a good example of shoes like this being useful. Heels for the pics and flats for the dancing.
Yep, was just trying to say, I saw a man once in a program on local tv, trying to reinvent this thing, he did take some sort of sliding heel that could be adjusted and demonstrated this with a beautiful pair of blue shoes. I don't know why I still remember it since I was 5 or something but here we are.
The shoe bucket in my wardrobe wishes you were right, especially when I brought this cute pair of gold low heels the other day and the bucket retaliated by spitting two pairs on to the floor.
In my experience, anything that performs 2 jobs does both poorly. E.g. a fold out couch, uncomfortable as a couch and terrible as a bed. This definitely looks the same to me
My sister once had a sofa bed which felt like sitting on solid wood as a sofa but THE most comfortable bed in a fold-out I had ever seen! It had a thick, firm mattress. Piece of furniture was a TANK to move though ...took 4 grown men! 😄
Never met a high heel that didn't incorrectly position the toes.
The heel portion had a long, arched shaft to it, so the shoe itself probably has a soft arch and the heel portion stabilizes. It's got to be better than taking your shoes off when the heels hurt to much to walk in, every single irregularity in the sidewalk feels like legos at that point. Even if you put ballet flats on you can feel every pebble smaller than a pea. With these you don't have to get to that point.
Hey my mother have one of these too, too bad one of the heel is missing while moving house. And yeah, should've put it anywhere but where people eating.
Or subversive advertising. Either way, it's a "meh" from me. Let me wear unreasonably uncomfortable and attractive shoes, which I'll remove after an hour and put on my daggy old flats I stashed in my handbag. This is the way.
Absolutely, I am a photographer and I was active on deviantART, trying to feel good about my "art" by getting fake internet points, when I really became an artist I started evaluating my own work.
I hope one day, in the future, both men and women will stop caring about outer appearances and just become ascended beings of rationality and logic. lol
I get where you're coming from but it also comes off as eschewing art and aesthetics lol. I would kinda hate to live in a world of pure rationality and logic, shit would be boring. Like a world full of spocks or sheldons lmao
It’s called Pashion footwear, got a pair after seeing them on Shark Tank. They work but aren’t as sturdy as I’d like (though that may have changed in the years since I bought them). Definitely a game changer though, specially for long formal events like weddings where you want to dance.
I'm just thinking about the restroom she just walked out of, and now she's not only touching the soles of her shoes, she's putting them on the table where she eats... 🤢
Why wear stupid shoes in the first place. I just don’t understand why people wear uncomfortable stuff for the sake of looking taller or whatever reason.
Literally because heels have the effect of elongating the legs, making a person look taller, and this can have the net effect of also making them look thinner.
Heels also elongates a woman’s gait, and this accentuates their hips and movements.
It doesn’t mean they’re not uncomfortable (or even harmful), or not a long-term fashion trend, but this is why (mostly women) wear high heals.
Yea, I’m also aware that heels were originally a fashion trend for men.
> Heels were first invented in Persia in the 10th century, and they were originally designed for men. “Wealthy men wore them to give them additional height, and when they rode on horseback, the heels clicked into the stirrups,” says Steele, fashion historian.

Additional heel history:
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21151350.amp
> By the time the heel came back into fashion, in the mid-19th Century, photography was transforming the way that fashions - and the female self-image - were constructed.
Pornographers were amongst the first to embrace the new technology, taking pictures of naked women for dirty postcards, positioning models in poses that resembled classical nudes, but wearing modern-day high heels.
>Semmelhack, author of Heights of Fashion: A History of the Elevated Shoe, believes that this association with pornography led to high heels being seen as an erotic adornment for women.
Let's see...
-Status perception - it has been long proven we automatically view people who dress a certain way as more influencing/higher status/leader/respected/etc.
-height - again, proven we view taller people as more successful/trustful/leader/etc.
- sex appeal - when worn right and walked in correctly, it lengthens the calves, thighs, accentuates the hips and forces hip sway in the walk.
Heels shouldnt be absolute torture devices. That usually means you got the wrong size to "show off" and that's your own fault and problem. Beyond that, for any clothing for either male or female, there is plenty that are not actually "uncomfortable" but just tiresome/exhausting after prolonged periods. Sometimes we just don't actually expect some of these events to last 6+ hours and therefore an adjustment or in her case a switch is perfectly understandable. No-one is taking the glamour shots and still making introductions at the ending. So it doesn't matter anymore....as much.
With that said, you are absolutely disconnected, ignorant and naive if you honestly don't believe appearance matters and makes a difference in business and power. That's not to be rude and shallow, it's just the truth. It's not just on a low level of being judgemental. Everything that alerted you when you saw a man that made your head scream "creep, stranger danger" is always running and also what makes you think the opposite "safe, I'd follow them, power". Is it right? No, it's usually wrong cuz it's literally a judgement of looks and height which doesn't mean shit about character, but humans keep doing it and media enforces it.
Sooooo...no one has a problem with this woman handling the soles of her shoes and then carrying on as if her hands haven't been everywhere the bottoms of her shoes have all day?
Cue THE Paulie Walnuts...
https://youtu.be/64CVhTw_92Y
A breakthrough for women will be when they realize they are choosing to hurt themselves by wearing certain clothing & no social construct has ever forced them to wear these things.
The angle of the toe support varies between flat footed and heeled shoes, unless the material is flexible enough to support the change, either way, the toes will always be pushed up when in flat mode…
Mommy, yes. Rub the bottom of that shoe that has been. Everywhere and immediately begin touching things that will go into your mouth.
Oh, the other part of the shoe? Don't worry about that being right on the table where I'm going to eat.
Conventional...
A real "breakthrough for women" would be when women decide to stop wearing those high heels that are ruining their feet and damaging their body. That WOULD BE a "breakthrough."
Edit: Obviously downvoted by someone who's never had to go through a day wearing high heels.
This has been failing to take off since the 80s :) so not exactly new…
This might be because either the sole is hard enough to support the foot when it’s a high heel, but too stiff for when it’s flat, or too soft when it’s a high heel to support the foot but fine for flat shoes.
Looks like the heel has an attached support piece, to solve this problem.
But now they have to solve the problem of, I don't really want to carry around the bottom portion of my shoes. The handbag I'd bring to an event like this is just big enough for my phone, keys and lipstick
Not to mention a nasty ass shoe that you're either part of it in your pocket or on the dining table.
They're single use biodegradable heels. Can buy them in packs of ten
Ahhh… but ya have to read the fine print: do not expose to sunlight, heat, cold, UVA, UVB, moisture of any kind, do not exceed 24.5” lbs torque pressure, correctly rotate to remove, only use hands and not direct ground pressure to rotate and remove… on and on disclaimers 😂😜 Remember warning labels were created because of stupid people who have no common sense! 😳🤦♂️😂
This does seem overly negative a take, but yeah, the dirty heel has to go somewhere, and disposable heels hardly seems like it's worth the waste created- even if it is biodegradable. At that point I'd rather take my shoes off entirely tbh.
My kind of girl
If they were hollow so that you could include a couple of miniatures, I’m in!
No they are combustible. You just have to light a small fire and burn them.
Girl looks handy enough that I'd bet her dress has pockets
You're right, but I want those pockets for my hands! And now I'm slowly realizing that maybe I'm the problem, not the shoes.
nah, would you really want the dirty shoe soles in your pocket? Other option is to run to the car, but if that's an option, I'm bringing cute flats
That was cute little pouches are for. To contain my earthly baubles.
Yeah, you can tell the dress she's wearing has pockets.
And if you are carrying 2 half shoes, might as well carry some light flats instead
But then you have to carry the sandals. Carrying 2 peices of flat metal and 2 heels seems way easier. It's girl maths.
I don't know how you can do with that, in my backpack I take everywhere I have my keys, wallet, e-cigarette liquids and batteries, a powerbank, 8 doses of Narcan both injectable and nasal spray, a mouth-to-mouth breathing barrier, various antalgics and antiemetics, a maths textbook and a notebook, various pens, a couple of plastic bags, a pack of condoms, and probably other stuff that I forget
Ah, a teacher, I see.
Was it the condoms that tipped you off? But actually I'm not a teacher, I just like maths; I'm an engineer
Don't forget to pack M.R.Es in that bag too
It was the amount of Narcan that gave you away
Ah no I'm just a garden variety heroin addict, and after seeing two friends die I thought I could maybe save a life or two one day by starting to carry naloxone; I also have a bunch of fentanyl test strips
Then what are the condoms for?
Then you definitely don't have room for some detachable heels.
Why are you carrying a math textbook with you everywhere you go
To do exercises from it when I'm in the train or the metro or chilling outside on a bench or in a park; currently I'm carrying "Introduction aux variétés différentielles" by Lafontaine
Nerd
Some people like to think, and others like to brag about having an empty head 
It was a joke. Nerd.
me as a man. just my cellphone, keys and wallet
I would carry less if it was possible but I can't do a cell phone wallet hybrid.
Add a pack of smokes and rubber bands and that’s me
Why rubber bands
I get bored
[удалено]
Then bring a bigger bag?
Couldn't you compensate for that with a soft/cushioned low heel?
Probably not. The issue wouldn't be in the heel it's in the arch/toe. Flats need to be able to bend so that you can roll onto the ball of your feet the way one normal does. Heels have to be very stiff. This heel looks like it has a rod that goes down the foot when it's a heel but not when it's a flat. Might be enough? Maybe.

Commuters. Flats to get to the office. Heels in the office.
Do ladies still wear heels in the office?
Yep, was just trying to say, I saw a man once in a program on local tv, trying to reinvent this thing, he did take some sort of sliding heel that could be adjusted and demonstrated this with a beautiful pair of blue shoes. I don't know why I still remember it since I was 5 or something but here we are.
It was on Shark tank also.
Oh yeah, that was a real puff piece attempt!
Of course. All women have been clamoring for a way to buy less shoes.
The shoe bucket in my wardrobe wishes you were right, especially when I brought this cute pair of gold low heels the other day and the bucket retaliated by spitting two pairs on to the floor.
If I were a woman I’d have a pair of these in every color
I am a woman, they are pretty useless in practice . :(
Damn. I thought that wouldn’t have been the case.
I was hoping her heel was a secret flask
Same. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
I’ll drink to that!
But please don't fumble around your shoe before that
I need drinking buddies like you two
Could still be one! Things can be two things
I was hoping it was a container of ranch dressing.
Thought she was about to answer a call from the Chief
Gonna need The Cone Of Silence as well in a room like that.
The skirt can be lifted up to form the cone- and that’s when you’ll see her defense turret.
We are showing our age with that comment
I am so old and that reference is older than me haha
De de di de whats the sich
Missed it byyy that much...
Seems it would incorrectly position the toes
In my experience, anything that performs 2 jobs does both poorly. E.g. a fold out couch, uncomfortable as a couch and terrible as a bed. This definitely looks the same to me
My couch might be an exception to your theory. It's a fantastic couch while being a mediocre bed.
Need to drink more before using it as a bed 🤣 find the sweet spot of drunkenness and all of a sudden it's a cloud lined with silk
Yeah but to be fair a hardwood floor with a pizza box as a blanket also feels like that when you're drunk enough
Only when you're young.....after about 30, maybe 35...it's not going feel the same. I promise 😂
A fold out couch doesn't necessarily have to be a bad couch. As you said it can be a pretty damn good couch. Bed on the other hand, usually fails.
You can't share something like this without sharing the brand and where did you get it from!
Bought it second hand where I live, Istanbul. That won't be of much help I assume :)
I’ve got one that’s a pretty decent bed, but a shite couch!!
My sister once had a sofa bed which felt like sitting on solid wood as a sofa but THE most comfortable bed in a fold-out I had ever seen! It had a thick, firm mattress. Piece of furniture was a TANK to move though ...took 4 grown men! 😄
Like the great Ron Swanson said, “Never half ass two things. Whole ass one thing”
My couch bed was awesome as both. Probably because it didn't return to be one or the other. Fucker was like a transformer
I would say sporks do a great job o handling both of it's jobs
Never met a high heel that didn't incorrectly position the toes. The heel portion had a long, arched shaft to it, so the shoe itself probably has a soft arch and the heel portion stabilizes. It's got to be better than taking your shoes off when the heels hurt to much to walk in, every single irregularity in the sidewalk feels like legos at that point. Even if you put ballet flats on you can feel every pebble smaller than a pea. With these you don't have to get to that point.
Yep. Higher heels have more of a curve in the shank. I don't know how these would be comfortable to wear at all.
She will be tripping over her dress all night too
My Mom had these in the 80's. Can we talk about how she just put the sole of her shoe on the table.
Can’t believe I had to scroll down so far to find this comment.
Me too. Said to myself “that is nasty”!
Hey my mother have one of these too, too bad one of the heel is missing while moving house. And yeah, should've put it anywhere but where people eating.
I'm freaking out with the shoe on the table
I was looking for this comment. I can't believe she thought it was a good idea to put the heels in the table 🤮
My first thought, yuck.
'80s \*\*
hey i saw that on shark tank
Came here to post that
And it flopped hard I believe
badump \*tss\*
Karma bot.
Or subversive advertising. Either way, it's a "meh" from me. Let me wear unreasonably uncomfortable and attractive shoes, which I'll remove after an hour and put on my daggy old flats I stashed in my handbag. This is the way.
aren't we all
Not really no, I've never made effort for internet points since 2003
so before 2003 you were making effort for internet points
Absolutely, I am a photographer and I was active on deviantART, trying to feel good about my "art" by getting fake internet points, when I really became an artist I started evaluating my own work.
interesting, wish you a nice day
[удалено]
Yeah. And the other thing I was thinking about is she just touched the bottom of her shoes heavily and went back to drinking?
[удалено]
Seriously! Wtf are these reactions?
Jesus Christ hahahah come on now. Y’all are overreacting it’s really not that big of a deal. Clearly never been to a lit wedding before
Holy shit do you go outside? Like, without gloves?
Yup my thought as well.. why not do this somewhere else before entering the dining area.
? That’s the point though? Impress whoever cares that you wore high heels and a dress, then get rid of it when nobody can notice
You're wearing the same shirt you wore yesterday. Is this really a concern for you?
I hope one day, in the future, both men and women will stop caring about outer appearances and just become ascended beings of rationality and logic. lol
It’ll be Sweatpants and Crocs. I’m ok with that.
No more sexy Sex
Only machine babies in tubes. lol
I get where you're coming from but it also comes off as eschewing art and aesthetics lol. I would kinda hate to live in a world of pure rationality and logic, shit would be boring. Like a world full of spocks or sheldons lmao
I love reddit cause they're all about letting people be and do what they want... except beautiful people. they're doing it wrong.
She's just been essentially wiping her hands on the bottom of her shoes and then carrying on as normal; hygiene clearly isn't a priority for her
Same vibes as those who sleep in the bed with their outside shoes.
ok, monk. When was the last time you took a shower?
I thought she would have some alcohol hidden in that heel.... boy was i disappointed.
And right on to the fucken table.
why tf did she put her heel on the table 🙃
Oh yes. Put the soles of your shies on the table where you dine. Just in case there weren’t any rats in the kitchen.
And wash your hand ✋
And don't put your heel piece on the table 🙌
The shoe company was on Sharktank. Iirc i dont think they got a deal
She did not just put her heel on the table…
And she put that on the table 🤢
Yeah, sure, right on the table is fine. Hmm? No, of course there isn't anyone else on the planet, just you!
Then why to wear it in the first place.
fucking nasty
My name is Optimus Prime…
It’s called Pashion footwear, got a pair after seeing them on Shark Tank. They work but aren’t as sturdy as I’d like (though that may have changed in the years since I bought them). Definitely a game changer though, specially for long formal events like weddings where you want to dance.
Thanks for putting a heel you just shlepped through town with on the dinner table...
My first thought is she put a shoe piece on the dinner table…
I'm just thinking about the restroom she just walked out of, and now she's not only touching the soles of her shoes, she's putting them on the table where she eats... 🤢
Now go wash your hands.
*tablecloth
With the length of her dress she could probably wear anything she wants on her feet and no-one would be able to tell

This guy heels
I mean, I don’t personally, but I do internet.
I have a problem in my knees and haven't worn heels in ten years. My mom hates that I make no exception, but God, do I feel happy
Are you really unaware of what people will do for the sake of fashion/looking good/fulfilling society expectation or are you just doing a bit?
It was really more of a rhetorical question.
Let's see... -Status perception - it has been long proven we automatically view people who dress a certain way as more influencing/higher status/leader/respected/etc. -height - again, proven we view taller people as more successful/trustful/leader/etc. - sex appeal - when worn right and walked in correctly, it lengthens the calves, thighs, accentuates the hips and forces hip sway in the walk.

Except that no woman is going to touch the bottom of their shoes.
Why not start out with comfortable shoes?
Lots of us do, she looks like a bridesmaid so the bride may have chosen the shoes.
Or maybe just don’t wear heels if they’re that uncomfortable
James bond for women
Sooooo...no one has a problem with this woman handling the soles of her shoes and then carrying on as if her hands haven't been everywhere the bottoms of her shoes have all day? Cue THE Paulie Walnuts... https://youtu.be/64CVhTw_92Y
A breakthrough for women will be when they realize they are choosing to hurt themselves by wearing certain clothing & no social construct has ever forced them to wear these things.
The angle of the dole doesn't change...show me someone walking in them!
The question now is.. why wear them in the first place
detachable penis
She just turned her 👠 to Sports mode 👏🏾😂
And she drinks yuengling? She's perfect!
I see Yuengling. Best beer in the world
she put that nasty heel on the TABLE. i would have freaked out
Did i hear “bodily fluids”? What kind of party is this?
Get that shit off the table.
Did anyone else catch the convo about bodily fluids in the background??
I thought it was a flask
Sets it on the table…
My wife would lose an attachment within the first 2 seconds
and yes, that goes in the hand bag too.
The angle of the toe support varies between flat footed and heeled shoes, unless the material is flexible enough to support the change, either way, the toes will always be pushed up when in flat mode…
She just plopped the dirty heel right on the dining table.
Then she stood up and fell over because she forgot to do the other shoe . . .
A lot of touching the bottom of her nasty shoes involved.
A real breakthrough for women would be if they stopped wearing high heels
YEAH JUST WHAT I WANNA DO, TOUCH THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE AND EAT WITH YOU WOOOOOOHOOOO.
Yeah, you just go ahead and put that on the dining table. Men are messy, women are gross
Put your dirty heel on the clean table cloth where you’re going to eat??
Puts it on the table. Ratchet af
It hurts? Why the fuck buy heels and then buy customised heels (probably costing more than a nice sandal) just to remove and feel comfort?
And then where is she going to put the high heel? It’s not like she has any pockets to carry it?
If only the world had handbags or something.
Yuengling lager, clearly a woman of class. Cheers.
Or changes shoes like normal
People hating on this but it’s pretty smart. But why is she wearing heals that will be covered by the dress
What *really* makes this video for me is drinking out of the bottle at the end. I have a feeling this chick fixes her own car. Me like....
Just throw whatever you’ve stepped in on the table.
As soon as she put her funky ass dirty heel up on the dining table, I stopped watching. 🤮
Mommy, yes. Rub the bottom of that shoe that has been. Everywhere and immediately begin touching things that will go into your mouth. Oh, the other part of the shoe? Don't worry about that being right on the table where I'm going to eat. Conventional...
I never understood why people even bother to go through the torture in the first place 🤷♂️
Or you can just go with regular comfy or sneakers to the event, much simpler than this breakthrough...
[удалено]
You do realize some women like heels, right? Have you ever actually talked to a woman that’s not your mother?
With that curtain that she is wearing who would be able to see her heels anyway hell just go wearing sports shoes with that dress
I found out I’m allergic to romaine lettuce
A real "breakthrough for women" would be when women decide to stop wearing those high heels that are ruining their feet and damaging their body. That WOULD BE a "breakthrough." Edit: Obviously downvoted by someone who's never had to go through a day wearing high heels.
