The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Instant flats

Well, sort of:

CAMiLEON Heels have a patented adjustable-height technology that's incorporated into the heel of every shoe. Design features of the heel and the overall shoe maximize ease of transition from high-to-low heel positions without removing the shoe from your foot, removing any parts or use of any special tools. You can transition from high-to-low positions within seconds, as often as desired.

The high heel is 3¼ inches; in the lower position, the heel is 1½ inches. And the tucked-away portion is inconspicuous except to someone viewing from underneath, something you'd presumably discourage anyway. Here's how it's done.

The line is carried in a few Northeastern stores and at Zappos.com; you can also buy directly from the manufacturer. They're pricey — $300 or so — but think of it as getting two pair for the price (and in the space) of one.

It's a floor wax! It's a dessert topping!

I can get two pairs of shoes that are better looking than those for $300. Storage space? not a problem. I'll just leave the shoes in the house and move into the car.
