Getting ready to go out with your girlfriends usually starts with the drawn-out outfit-picking process. Skirt or skinny jeans? Clutch or crossbody? Heels or flats? Thanks to breakout designer Tanya Heath, that last question is no longer an issue. That scenario where you opt for heels, only to regret it by the end of the night? You’ll never have to deal with that again. Heath has developed a line of gorgeous shoes with a genius catch: interchangeable heels. Beauty and brains.
Now, you’re all probably wondering how exactly this concept works. Heath currently sells her shoes online and all styles are sold without heels. This gives the customer the power to basically customize her own shoe by choosing from the countless heel options. These sparkly ones are perfect for a night out!
Each shoe has an internal button that must be pressed to release the heel, so there’s no danger of losing a heel by accident.
The entirely self-taught designer came up with the concept after being shamed for wearing flats on the way to work and then changing into heels once she arrived to the office when she moved to Paris. Heath began wearing heels for the entire commute, even when she was pregnant (ouch!). Finally, she decided that she did not want to be uncomfortable any more and came up with the innovative idea to put the best of both worlds in one shoe.
Eager for more? Heath is debuting a handbag in a few months… perhaps with interchangeable straps? We can only wait and see what the future of fashion will bring.
