Changeable heel for use with a sole component comprising a mechanism for adjusting a sole curvature with a first supporting element, wherein the heel comprises:
- an upper side comprising a recess, a projecting structure arranged in the recess, and an opening for receiving a rear part of the first supporting element, the opening being at least partially arranged in the projecting structure, wherein the opening forms an entrance opening for the first supporting element, wherein the entrance opening is open towards a front of the heel;
- a locking system that locks the heel when reaching a determined position and conteracts a movement of the heel along a longitudinal direction of the sole component towards the rear, wherein the locking system comprises an interlocking element projecting in an upward direction from the recess;
