Benefits of technology

[0010]This invention incorporates a rotating spindle inside the high heel of a dress shoe, which transforms the downward heel impact into rotational energy, thus absorbing the impact while massaging the foot. The spindle is visible from the outside of the heel and has decorative crystals, lights or other eye catching ornamentatio

Problems solved by technology

This does reduce the impact, but

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The embodiment as disclosed herein provides for a heel with a spindle 104 actuated by a mechanical device as portrayed in FIG. 1. When the heel is compressed, there is a solid mechanical connection from the walking surface through to the heel, causing the vibrational rotation's being transmitted up through the heel to the skeletal system resulting in a massaging sensation. The frequency of this massaging action can be varied by the pitch of the Acme screw 105 and the weighting of the spindle 104.

[0016]Alternative embodiments can be provided that result in similar motion, which by example could include, but are not limited to, a small battery powered motor that actuated by the closing of contacts in the plastic heel tip 111.

[0017]FIG. 2 shows the cross section of the heel 100 mounted on the bottom of a high heel shoe.

[0018]FIG. 3 shows the external view of the same shoe with external skin of the decorated rotating spindle 301 visible in a cutout of the heel 100.

Abstract

This invention incorporates a rotating spindle inside the high heel of a dress shoe, which transforms the downward heel impact into rotational energy, thus absorbing the impact while massaging the foot. The spindle is visible from the outside of the heel and has decorative crystals, lights or other eye catching ornamentation to attract attention when the spindle rotates. The rotating spindle also passes vibrations through the wearer's skeletal system for a soothing effect.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates generally to footwear, and is particularly concerned with high heel shoes typically worn by women. More particularly, the present invention relates to ornamentation and features of the heel both for fashion and for the therapeutic benefits that the invention provides.[0003]Conventional high heeled footwear is often uncomfortable, tiring and even painful to wear and to walk in. There are several medical problems associated with wearing high heels, including foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back problems. Yet many women still wear high-heeled footwear regularly because it can make the wearer more stylish and taller.[0004]The discomfort and pain from wearing high-heeled footwear arises because high-heeled footwear significantly alters the wearer's stance / posture and natural walking gait cycle. In flat shoes, the weight distribution is approximately 5% over the phalanges, 40% the metatarsals, 5% over the midfoot, and ...
