These Shoes are Made for Driving.

sheilas-heelsThe true college experience demands bar hopping or clubbing with a pair of incredibly adorable stilettos on. (Did I just succeed in the most shallow first-liner ever?) They probably cost a ridiculous amount (month’s worth of paychecks to be exact), but for a 5’3” little one like myself, an amazing pair of stilettos can make you feel braver and sexier, stepping over spilt drinks and strutting past bad pick up lines to stroll out of the bar with a fine piece of arm candy named Josh…or maybe it’s John? (Does it really matter?)

Anyway…we know all this is true about the right pair of stilettos, but your poor little piggies will certainly beg to differ, and it’s likely that by your second drink your feet will be screaming get-these-off-NOW. As someone whose big toe has been dubbed ‘the astronaut’, (It’s abnormally large, and my wide toenail has been said to strangely resemble a NASA astronaut’s space mask…once again, shouldn’t admit that.) Needless to say I am strongly against my feet being crammed up into the pointy corner of a leopard print stiletto, especially if my agenda for the night entails urgently important events… like stumbling down frat row.

Ah, but fear no more high-heel loving ladies, the fashion goddesses have answered our prayers. I introduce to you, the convertible stiletto.

‘From stilettos to flats with a simple flick of the heel,’ boasts the UK insurance company who created the Sheila driving heel. It’s a well known fact that driving in high heels can be potentially dangerous. Actually, a whopping one in ten female motorists admit that they’ve had a car accident or ‘near miss’ because their heels have slipped off or gotten stuck under a pedal while driving. That’s ten percent of female drivers! Think of how upsetting it is to break a heel off because you bought a pair of cheap stilettos… now think of how devastating it would be to crash your Mercedes because of ‘em. (As for the Mercedes…it was a hypothetical situation, a girl can dream.)

These surprisingly cute shoes have a fun pink heel that can be folded inward and under the sole, so your sexy clubbing shoes can become makeshift work or shopping flats! It’s what every girl wants, a shoe that can work hard and play harder… now if only someone could create a convertible boyfriend. One that makes you feel sexy, comfortable, and doesn’t crash your car…all at the same time.
