Footloose - adjustable high heels
Love the shoe concept!
I saw another shoe concept that where really interesting. This guy, Kenny Wong had designed for a competition in Hong Kong. There f***ing amazing. He won like a bunch of prizes for the ones called SUIT UP!..
Take a look:

Laters :)
Today's technology calls for a high heel in the 5 inch range, with no apparent shoesole in the middle foot section, leaving the foot sole of its wearer fully visible from a rear view standpoint.
The new design could be either a high- pump or a sandal, with a case hardened steel rod in the middle foot section, hooding the heel portion and the toe part of the high heel shoe in its place. The foot sole actually wouldn't have to touch the steelrod, since all weight is carried by the toes and partly the heel, on those 5-6 inch high heels. In this case the entire foot sole of the middle foot section would be exposed.
Another design could provide a window cut into this portion of a high heel pump. There, the remaining shoe sole should be as thin-, and the window as large as possible, leaving just enough sole material necessary to bear the weight of the wearer.
For example, a thin sheet metal made of titan would do the job.
Such a pair of high heels should cost some money and should only be worn by females with feet and soles to show for!
