ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a resilient heel support for a ladies' shoe which, most preferably, is convertible to heel supports of varied heights, thereby permitting the altering of the height of the heels, at the wearer's whim. The shoe is formed with a conventional upper having a toe and heel portion and a continuous flexible sole. The sole is bifurcated and has an upper arm that extends rearwardly from the instep, following the shoe arch and the contour of the inner sole of the shoe. The lower arm of the bifurcated sole is coplanar with its forward portion terminates in an upwardly directed vertical recess. A convertible heel support is attached to the undersurface of the first arm of the sole at the heel area and this heel support extends into a sliding reception within the vertical recess. The support is pivotally attached to the undersurface of the heel of the first member to permit changing the height of the heel supports. The heel is resiliently cushioned by one of two embodiments which include a leaf spring formed of metal or plastic composite material which is coextensive with the bifurcated portion of the sole. In an alternative embodiment, the heel support is surrounded by a compressible resilient member.
