A reconfigurable footwear item (10) is disclosed, convertible between a high-heeled shoe and a lower-heeled shoe for wearing while travelling to a venue or driving, for example. The item comprises a sole (11) and a heel (14). A deformable elongate member (25) is arranged to engage with the heel to allow adjustment of the relative position of the front (11a) and rear (11b) portions of the sole. The heel portion may be replaced to alter the height of the shoe. The elongate member may attach to the heel by a wedge (42) inside a cavity. The front portion of the sole may comprise discrete pivotable portions which are caused to pivot by a boss (28) attached to the elongate member when the height of the shoe is altered. The heel may be lockably arranged with the sole by a biased locking member (21) and may have a button (23) which when actuated disengages the sole from the elongate member (25). The heel portion may have a series of slots allowing items to be stored therein. |
