    Abstract: A transformable shoe is an apparatus that allows a user to customize the height of the shoe. The apparatus includes a shoe body, at least one interchangeable heel, and a lift-receiving bed. The shoe body surrounds and supports the foot against the ground. The interchangeable heel uplifts the shoe body above the ground. More specifically, the interchangeable heel uplifts a heel seat above the ground and defines an arch of the foot. The interchangeable heel may be a collapsible heel and solid wedge body. The height of the apparatus is dependent on the arrangement of the plurality of anthropomorphic members for the collapsible heel and the fixed height of the solid wedge body. The interchangeable heel includes a heel-bracing portion. The lift-receiving bed is integrated into a shank of the shoe body, and the heel-bracing portion is mounted adjacent to a heel seat of the shoe body.
