Abstract: A shoe with an interchangeable heel comprises two parts, a main sole part reinforced in its rear end section by a rigid plate and a separate heel part. The heel part is fitted to the reinforced section of the sole part by a ferrule, fixed to one part, having a projecting portion of non-circular cross-section which locates in an aperture of complementary shape in the other part so as to position and prevent rotation of the heel, and a removable locking element is provided to lock the heel part in place.
