Adjustable heel heights at Camileon

30/07/2012

Camileon Heels has launched a range of shoes offering adjustable-height heel technology.

The company claims the innovation, which allows the wearer to adjust from a 3.25 inch heel to a 1.5 inch heel without taking off the shoe, could protect women’s feet and cut foot surgery rates significantly.

"This is an important moment in the history and development of footwear, and an important milestone for women," said CEO, Sean Flannery.

"If ever necessity was the mother of invention, this is it. Thanks to this unparalleled development, women have a truly viable alternative to prolonged wear of high heels. Camileon Heels offers women the possibility to combine fashion, affordability, comfort and convenience -- all in one shoe.”

Mr Flannery adds: "We know that the only real solution to the physical problems associated with wearing high heels is to stop wearing high heels. But we also know that most women are not willing to give up their heels.

"Camileon Heels is the next best solution. They allow women to limit the amount of time they spend in high heels, without sacrificing their fashion needs.

"While several other brands address the need for comfort in women’s dress footwear, Camileon Heels is the only brand that provides a woman with the ability to reduce the amount of time she spends in the high heel position without changing her shoes."

The company currently holds patents in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, China, Russia, Mexico, India and Brazil and is waiting on patents for the US, Korea, Canada, Europe and Taiwan.
