1. A heel changer apparatus, comprises:
a shoe including a shoe hole and a sole; wherein the sole includes a flexible arch; a locking mechanism configured to removably couple a first heel to the shoe, wherein the locking mechanism includes a connector bolt; wherein the first heel comprises a first connector slot and a heel body; wherein the first connector slot is within the heel body and is surrounded by a wall which is a surface within the heel body; at least a first indentation and a second indentation, wherein the first and second indentations extend into the wall, are configured within the wall, and surround the first connector slot; wherein the first indentation comprises a first dent that extends into the wall; wherein the second indentation comprises a second dent that extends into the wall; a stopper configured on and attached to the wall and protruding from the wall toward a center of the first connector slot; wherein the connector bolt comprises a cylindrical portion having a cylinder top and a bolt top on the cylinder top; wherein the cylindrical portion comprises an outer surface, a first protruding element coupled to and configured to protrude from a lower portion of the outer surface, and a second protruding element coupled to and configured to protrude from the lower portion; wherein the bolt top comprises a surface having an object insert area configured to receive a coin for turning the connector bolt so that the locking mechanism is in a locked setting; wherein the bolt top comprises a lower edge; a washer placed around the cylindrical portion, under the bolt top, and adjacent to the lower edge of the bolt top, wherein the washer provides a water tight seal for the shoe; wherein the connector bolt is configured to be removably inserted into the shoe hole and into the first connector slot; wherein the locking mechanism is in an unlocked setting that permits the first protruding element to slide within the first indentation and the second protruding element to slide within the second indentation as the connector bolt is removably inserted into the first connector slot; wherein the locking mechanism is in the locked setting that removably couples the first heel to the shoe, that does not permit the first protruding element to slide within the first indentation and that does not permit the second protruding element to slide within the second indentation; wherein the first protruding element is not lined up with the first indentation and the second protruding element is not lined up with the second indentation in the locked setting; wherein the first and second protruding elements are adjacent to a lower surface of the wall in the locked setting; wherein the stopper removably receives and removably locks one of the first and second protruding elements in the locked setting; wherein the first protruding element is not within the first indentation in the locked setting; wherein the second protruding element is not within the second indentation in the locked setting; wherein the lower surface of the wall blocks the first and second protruding elements in the locked setting so that the lower surface blocks the connector bolt from moving upward in the locked setting while the first protruding element is not within the first indentation and the second protruding element is not within the second indentation; wherein the sole blocks the lower edge of the bolt top in the locked setting so that the sole blocks the connector bolt from moving downward in the locked setting; wherein the stopper comprises a durable component comprising a metal or a hard synthetic material, and wherein the durable component is molded or attached to the wall; wherein the stopper blocks one of the first and second protruding elements in the locked setting so that the connector bolt is static within the first connector slot in the locked setting; and wherein the connector bolt, the shoe hole, and the first connector slot are configured to be the locking mechanism that removably couples the first heel to the shoe. |
