A novel locking mechanism for a convertible shoe system is disclosed comprising a shoe upper (2) and a shoe sole (5). The locking mechanism comprises a female member (8) and a male member (17) wherein one of said male or female members is attached to the shoe upper and the other is housed in an opening formed in a sidewall (4) of the shoe sole. The locking mechanism is configured so that the male member (17) is securely received in the female member (8) while the shoe is being worn under normal wear conditions. However, when it is desired to remove the shoe upper and substitute it for uppers of different styles or functionality, the shoe upper (2) may be quickly removed from the shoe sole (5). |
