Abstract

The invention provides a heel (1 ) for a shoe (2) including a butt-end (3) securable to a shoe and a base (7) providing a heel tip (8) at its free end. The base is movable in relation to the butt-end, with the base and butt-end connected through telescopic components (9). A cooperating sleeve (11 ) within the heel is provided with a keyway profiled to fit over a key (14) on the end of a pin (12) when the keyway and key are aligned. The sleeve and pin are configured to hold the heel in a retracted condition when the pin is in the sleeve and to hold the heel in an extended condition when the pin is withdrawn from the sleeve. The invention further provides a mechanism to rotate the pin with its key and the sleeve with its keyway, into alignment to enable movement of the heel between the retracted and extended conditions.
