  • the present disclosure relates to a footwear product as set forth in claim 1 . It further relates to a method
  • Footwear products with high heels are fairly common in fashionable ladieswear. They bear some danger of twisting the ankle, and related injuries.
  • high heels mostly exhibit a very slender shape and are attached to an upper part of the footwear at a very small attachment area. Thus, they break easily, and at a comparatively low tilt angle, which limits the momentum acting on the bearer's ankle, and accordingly the risk of serious injury.
  • the bearer's forefoot is in contact with the ground, which enables the bearer to react and control the motion, at least to a certain extent. In fashion or show business, platform soles are used for reasons of aesthetics or other effects.
  • a platform height of these platform soles is typically larger than several centimeters and may reach up to several ten centimeters.
  • the bearer's entire foot is disconnected from the ground by a fairly large distance.
  • the effect is comparable to stilt walking with the foot being rigidly attached to the stilt. Twisting the ankle or stumbling may thus easily result in a large momentum acting on the ankle, with the resulting danger of severe ankle injuries, or falling down, or both.
  • the knee, or soft tissue stabilizing the knee may be in danger of injury, for instance due to lateral bending.
  • the separation does not occur arbitrarily, as in the case of the above mentioned breaking off a heel, that is, actually destroying the footwear product, but under controlled or controllable conditions and/or in a controlled or controllable manner.
  • said separation is automatically triggered by forces acting upon a certain tilt of the platform sole, and/or be triggered purposefully by forces induced by the bearer in performing certain foot movements when the bearer feels in jeopardy of falling or twisting the ankle.
  • EP 1 864 585 discloses a footwear construction in which a heel is secured relative to the underside of a sole member by means of a snap fit connection.
  • the snap fit connection is provided to securely and firmly lock the heel to the sole member.

  • the attached outsole is rather flat, and requires manual operation to detach the respective outsole or heel lift member from the footwear product.
  • 2013/0247413 and FR 2 980 672 heel members are interchangeable, wherein they are connected to an upper part of the footwear product by threads, a system with locking knobs, or rigid snap fit connections.
  • a heel is attached to another part of the footwear product by a bayonet locking mechanism.

  • a platform height of the base member is at least equal to or is larger than three times a maximum width of the connection interface.

  • a resulting pulling force effective to detach the base member from the top member is significantly higher than a lateral force applied at the ground contact location, due to the leverage ratio of the height of the platform and the width of the connection interface.
  • connection interface can be adapted and configured such that, for instance, a resistance of the interface to a pulling force, or in other words, a detachment or separation force threshold is considerably higher than a threshold of a lateral force applied at the ground / base member interface, or the bottom of the base member, respectively, which is intended to effect a separation of the base member from the top member.
