Multi-position heel

A multi-position shoe, comprising:

• a chassis integrally formed with or connected to a sole of the shoe;
• a heel connected to the chassis and rotatable relative to the chassis about an axis;
• and
• a locking mechanism comprising a pushbutton that is axially translatable along the axis,
• wherein, upon depression of the pushbutton, the locking mechanism selectively allows rotation of the heel relative to the chassis.

A multi-position shoe, comprising:

• a chassis integrally formed with or connected to a sole of the shoe;
• a heel connected to the chassis and rotatable relative to the chassis between a first heel position and a second heel position;
• and
• a locking mechanism comprising a spring-biased pushbutton that is axially translatable between a first position and a second position along an axis of rotation of the heel,
• wherein the heel is locked in one of the first heel position and the second heel position when the pushbutton is in the first position, and
• the heel is moveable between the first heel position and the second heel position when the pushbutton is in the second position.

A multi-position heel assembly, comprising:

• a chassis structured and arranged to be integrally formed with or mechanically connected to a shoe, wherein the chassis includes at least two detents radially spaced about an axis;
• a heel pivotally connected to the chassis;
• and
• a locking mechanism,
• wherein the heel is arranged in a first heel position beneath the chassis when the locking mechanism is engaged with a first one of the at least two detents,
• the heel is arranged in a second heel position beneath the chassis, different from the first heel position, when the locking mechanism is engaged with a second one of the at least two detents, and
• the heel is rotatable relative to the chassis about the axis when the locking mechanism is disengaged from the at least two detents.
