ABSTRACT:
A shoe (10) is disclosed including a pin member (18) projecting outwardly from a head portion (20) secured to the sole (12) by a screw (256) extending through a bore (254) and threaded in a nut (252) imbedded in the head portion (20), with the bore (254) and the screw (256) being preferably at an obtuse angle to the pin member (18). An exchangeable heel (16) includes a preassembled capsule lock (200) secured in a bore (24). The capsule lock (200) includes a housing formed by a bottom cup (202) being press fit in a top insert (222). A washer member (214) of a lock member (50) is biased against the lower surface of a plate (230) integrally formed in the cylindrical portion (224) of the top insert (222) by a compression spring (48), with the plate (230) being at an acute angle to the axis of the housing and to the pin member (18). The head portion (20) terminates in a lower cylindrical portion (240) having an abutment surface (242) which flushly abuts with the upper surface of the plate (230) when the lower cylindrical portion (240) is slideably fit in a socket formed in the housing. Alignment ears (250, 264) are also slideably fit within troughs (248, 268) when the head portion (20) is slideably fit within a recess (22) formed in the heel (16).
