EDIT: reviewing the instructions, we did use the shoe correctly - for the d'orsay shoe and the bootie, the base plates (the thing that fell off in the beginning) were removed before making them flats, and the instructions didn't include anything about a second other base plate! everything that came in the box was used in the video - there may be other parts available separately or potentially there's a different convertible shoe company that includes a flat base plate? but, apparently the shoes may flatten over time!! so i'm gonna keep wearing em lol

"High heels with an emergency exit." I absolutely love that statement, and that is now how I will forever think of any convertible heel/flat shoe.

@kikidrtm

The idea of going to weddings and having the heel for the pictures and the flat for the rest is honestly amazing.

@joranclatterbuck5825

I wore these to my best friends wedding 3yrs ago. I am 5'11 with a size 11 foot, flat feet, and bunions, and THESE ARE THE BEST SHOES FOR A WEDDING I HAVE FOUND! I was able to wear the heel for the ceremony, but then converting it to the flat for the reception was wonderful. And with all the movement and dancing, the 'elf' quality to them was actually beneficial haha. But yeah, for the money I spent on them, to not feel uncomfortable in my footware for 12hrs on my feet was outstanding! That's another thing, you really don't feel like you have to break them in, which is wild. I personally loved the shoes!

@renfrien7009

honestly heels with an emergency exit sounds good enough to me for a night out. the heels would fit just fine in a purse and you wont care about "elf" vibes after a long party!

@chloe.cordeiro

"they're just a little... *elf hand gesture* " 😂 real

@shelbykutil9743

Honestly, they should be advertised as “high heels with an emergency exit”, cuz that idea is great! There are so many times people just can’t walk in their heels anymore but aren’t able to just go without them. At that point, people don’t even care if they look a little weird, they just need it to be flat. Just don’t advertise them being stylish and people won’t care!

@poppy7599

I heard they “flatten out over time,” so I would love a long form video of Saf testing these to see if they actually improve.

@justacrystal567

“High heels with an emergency exit” is a phrase I did not know could exist.

@TobyS.123

bro really woke up and chose elf

@opaltoralien4015

Honestly, "high heels with an emergency exit" is an amazing product in and of itself. Nearly every girl at a highschool dance brings heels, and by the end of the night 50% of them either go barefoot or switch into backup shoes, so this function would be useful for beginner high heel users.

@flyingstonemon3564

Finally, socially acceptable for the workplace elf shoes!

@maddalenasegato

They DO flatten out over time! My closet is manly stocked with these and within a few weeks of normal use they look and feel just like regular flats. 100% recommend 👌

@pashionfootwear

Hi Safiya! We are so excited that you tried out our convertible heels — our shoes are absolutely heels with an escape hatch! Our shoe soles are made with materials similar to that of athletic shoes, crafted to be flexible and super comfy, and will flatten out with wear (we usually recommend a week's worth of wear as flats for them to really "break in") 💕 So glad you loved them!

@DGray-v5z

Would come in handy at a wedding.  Wear the heels high until time to dance, then do the switch and dance the night fantastic in shoes, while most are dancing barefoot, or in ugly “spare” flats.

@ellenbagby

For people who live in a big city, these would be awesome.  Walking 8-10 blocks (equivalent of a mile) in flats and switching to the heel when you get to the office sounds great.❤  It would have kept me from keeping a pair of flats in my purse for "on the go" swapping when my feet got too tired living in the city.

The creator was on Shark Tank and didn’t get a deal, but she has been killing it recently!

@vanessabarksdale7616

High heels with an emergency exit is such an accurate Description and an incredible selling point

@Djoxaurus

These are definitely made to go out in! At the end of the night you won't need to be walking without shoes because you can just switch them into a funky flat shoe to walk home😂

@jenniferjensen1149

I love the idea of them starting as a high heel and swapping the flats as your day/date/night progresses. So much better than going barefoot thru the parkinglot!
