CAMiLEON Heels–Now I Can Wear High Heels Without Breaking My Leg On The Subway Steps!
Jan 10, 2013 Product Review
My new CAMiLEON Heels
People who’ve known me for years have probably never ever seen me wear heels. Sure, I’ll wear pumps – low, chunky heels that can get me down subway stairs and through pedestrian traffic without twisting my ankle. But actual high heel shoes? Never. Well, almost never: In the last five years, the only time I remember wearing heels was when I attended a party in the hotel where I was staying. All I had to navigate while teetering on my cute shoes was an elevator and a hallway. Which I was able to do, but just barely.
So, as much as I would occasionally like to sport high heels at a fancy event or party, I just couldn’t. Not without risking embarrassment, broken shoes, and possibly broken bones.
Until, that is, CAMiLEON sent me a pair of their new convertible heels to review. These shoes are genius: I can wear them as low heels while commuting or driving, but then, in a matter of seconds, I can convert them to high heels! It really is that easy. Watch:
When worn as kitten heels, they’re low enough that even I can walk around the city in them. And unless someone were lying cheek-to-sidewalk, they’d never notice that there was anything “different” about my shoes. But then when I arrive at the ball (um, blogging event), I can make myself a couple inches taller and join the ranks of those people who seem to live in heels all the time. (I think they belong to that same sub-classification of human who can Rollerblade without pads, and not end up with hideous scars).
The shoes themselves are gorgeous and come in many colors and styles. I think I might buy this pair:
I love my CAMiLEON Heels so much I’ve worn them even when I ‘m not planning on converting them – they’re just cute, comfy shoes. Plus, there’s a metal bar running through the heel, so they won’t break like normal high heels. And they’re available in wide sizes, if you need that.
I can’t wait to get more! You can see all of their current styles here.

Ok, I never would have thought you could do that. And the ones you “think you might buy” are so cute. I am going to check out their site.

@JulieMPron: I mean, I haven’t worn them enough to say that they would last through anything. But none of my other shoes have a steel rod going through the heel!
WOW! how cool are these?! thanks for the share!
