Abstract

A reconfigurable footwear item comprising a sole 11 and a heel 14, the sole comprising a rear portion 11b which is arranged to support a rear portion of a user's foot and a front portion 11a which is arranged to support a front portion of the user's foot. The heel comprises a heel base 15 which is rigidly coupled to the rear sole portion of the sole and a heel extension 16 which is arranged to detachably couple with the heel base. The item further comprises reconfiguring means which is arranged to reconfigure the configuration of the rear sole portion with respect to the front sole portion, between a first configuration and a second configuration as the heel extension couples and uncouples from the heel base. The sole is preferable resiliently biased to the first configuration. The coupling means may comprise a well 17 formed within the heel base, and there may be locking means for locking the base and the extension together. The reconfiguring means may comprise a tongue (26, fig.4) extending from the rear sole portion to the front sole portion, the tongue being displaceable by a rod.
