Basically, this idea is for the ladies who are so in love with shoes but have limited financial resources. Why not invent a pair of shoes that have detachable soles? This is like a 4 - in - 1 pair of shoes. You have flats, stilettos, platforms & wedged shoes all roled into one. It's cheaper compared to buying 4 different pair of shoes. When you buy it in shopping malls, it is contained in one bag with the 4 different soles inside it.

different surfaces require different soles! =)

guy's shoemakers should also consider this.

This was my idea from years ago.

Mine to...see traffic shoes. Execpt mine was for a specific purpose and target market.

Sure would complicate the lives of the CSIs!

It would also make it easy to replace the soles of your favorite pair of shoes, should the soles wear out before the uppers. It's such a shame to have to part with those perfectly broken-in shoes just because the sole is shot.

If the safty factor is well thought of, the idea is not bad. Provided it does make a tangible difference to the wallet.

that's a lawsuit disaster waiting to happen.

I like the idea in principle but all shoes are designed and constructed differently. If u took the sole off a high heel for instance. All the casing would remain at a 45 degree angle so putting a flat on it would leave the heel leaning back and the toes pointing up. Maybe would work for wedges but needs a lot of thought to manage to implement across the whole range.
