| This is a follow up on our post Free Shoes For People in Devon, in which a town in the UK was handing out flip flops to people who have had too much to drink. The program was geared towards women in high heels that had been out drinking at bars in fear that they will injure themselves walking home. | |
| Three new companies in England have taken this idea a bit further by selling their version of portable flats in vending machines at nightclubs. Rollasoles, Afterheels and Butterfly Twists have manufactured rollable or foldable ballet flats that sell for about 5 GBP, or $8.25 USD. There are listed 27 clubs offering the Rollasoles and 11 offering Afterheels. There was no information availalbe on clubs offering Butterfly Twists at this time. Rollasoles are available in 3 colors (black, gold and silver) and sold |
| in 3 sizes (small, medium and large). AfterHeels are currently available in metallic black pearl with fuchsia pink lining in two sizes (small and medium). Butterfly Twists are only available in black in 3 sizes (small, medium and large). All three are sold with a matching bag to carry their wearer’s shoes home. These shoes are a great idea also for those who must wear high heels at work. One can wear these for the ride or drive to and from work and easily change out of them into high heels. There currently are no vending machines here in the US selling this product. We are | Image courtesy of AfterHeels |

They range in price from $25-$29 a pair (not including shipping). Each pair comes |
| with a matching pouch with wrist strap meant for carrying the flats only. They are not designed to carry the heels which have been taken off.
Is this trend something we should be expecting to see here in the states in the next few years? We buy food, drinks, personal products and many other items from vending machines, why not shoes? Women go out clubbing in high heels and normally have aching feet by the end of the night. Due to our society, women here in the US usually have some sort of transportation to get home, other than their own two feet. But in resort areas these could possibly become a big hit. Along with vending machines selling flats for women wearing high heels one could find in fancier restaurants or clubs, vending machines that sell ties for men or dress shoes for women. | |
