Abstract
Interchangeable heels for footwear that allows the wearer to inter-change heels of different colours, height or style, to suit the wearer's taste and requirements. The heel may be attached to the bottom of the footwear via interlocking fasteners e.g. a bayonet joint, whereby a T-shaped protrusion on the heel engages with an aperture on the underside of the footwear, where the heel is retained in position by rotating the heel through 90 degrees. The heel may also have a sprung locking post b that will engage with a hole c on the underside of the footwear once the heel is rotated 90 degrees thereby locking the heel in position. To release the heel a release button (d, Fig 3) on the underside of the footwear will release the sprung locking post b from the hole c when the button is depressed, thereby allowing the heel to be rotated and removed from the footwear. The heels may be made from metal, plastic, wood or leather.
