Abstract: Women's footwear (shoes) that can be worn/used as both a high heel (pump) type shoes as well a flat heel type shoe. Model number one of the transformable shoe feature a raised heel that the raised heel part of the shoe clips on and off the back (heel) part of the shoe by way of a slot clip. When the raised heel is clipped into the heel part of the shoe body they product can be worn/used as a high heel type shoe. When the raised heel is unclipped from the heel part of the shoe body the product could then be worn as a flat heel type shoe. When the raised heel is unclipped from the shoe body the shoe then collapses to a flat type shoe but still keeping the size of the shoe wearer constant and still looking attractive. The shoe conforms from a fitting pump type shoe to a fitting type flat heel type shoe by way of the plastic/rubber/nylon type material that makes up the exterior and interior body of the shoe(s). The outer body of the shoe is made up of an expandable, retractable, plastic, rubber material that is covered by an expandable, retractable, fabric material. The inner sole of the shoe is composed of a harder, bendable, expandable, retractable, rubber, plastic, material that conforms its size and shape when switched from a high heel type shoe to a flat heel type shoe. The clip for the raised heel is similar to the type of belt clips used for several devices but it dose not swivel. The raised heel is clipped onto the heel part of the bottom of the shoe and held into place by way of slots and tong grooves. The top of the raised heel has raised tongs that slide into indented slots in the left and right sides of the heel part of the shoe body. This feature is how the heel clips into the bottom of the shoe and is held into place. Because of this design technique the raised heel locks into the heel part of the shoe and remains steady. The inner sole part of the shoe(s) that is made up of the harder, more supportive, bendable, retractable, and expandable material is cushioned by way of foam, cushioning, and/or cotton material that is wrapped/covered with an expandable, retractable, fabric material. The bottom part of the shoe is comprised of strategically placed patches of durable, harder, gripped surface, rubber. The gripped texture is rough and ridged in order to provide grip and control when wearing, walking, running; skipping, etc . . . The patches are strategically placed on the bottom of the shoe in order to not interfere with the transformation process from pump to flat type shoe. These portions of the bottom rubber material are adequate for support and function of the shoe(s). The patches of the durable rubber are raised off the bottom of the shoe with a depth of a quarter inch to two inches in depth. The fabric material that covers the body of the shoe is held on by a rubber, expandable, retractable type adhesives. (end of abstract)
