  • Patent number: 10034518
    Abstract: An extendable heel for adjusting the height of a heel. The extendable heel includes a heel body and one or more heel portions that are moveable between an extend position and a retracted position. In a retracted position, the heel portions are housed within the heel body and in an extended position, the heel portions are positioned below the heel body. A locking mechanism is operably connected to the heel portions and controls the height and position of the heel portions. The locking mechanism can receive a key that allows a user to control the position of the heel portions. In one use, the turning of the key in a first direction causes a cylinder to rotate, which allows the heel portions to freely move into the extended position. The key can be turned in the opposing direction to secure the heel portion in the extended position.
