I Tried Convertible High Heels 👠

- 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? although, apparently the shoes may flatten over time!!
today we tried convertible heels from Pashion Footwear! there was a bit of a learning curve when it came to taking the heels on and off but i ended up getting the hang of it. the shoes with heels on felt like a pretty normal pair of shoes, but the shoes in their flat form were a little more… elf chic. overall though these were super fun and i can see the use if you need flats fast - kind of like high heels with an emergency exit.

There is another brand- Vice Versa- I think they’re more expensive and there’s not as many options (though Pashion is always out of stock) but IMO they look like they might work better. Try them out?
Hi! Just a note - we just had a major restock (so we won't be so sold out now - yay!)💕
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 👌
How long did yours take to arrive cause I’m waiting on my order I placed in MAY still. And every time I contact customer service I just get “they’re coming!” Thankfully our Vegas trip I bought them for was cancelled or I’d have had no shoes and would have had to panic buy something uncomfortable on Amazon
@maddalenasegato I'm ready to be invested because I love heels but I'd rather have 4 different styles and base colours and just switch out the heels for different occasions and days. And then when I travel, I just bring one pair of shoes and as many heels as I see fit. Better than shoving 3 pairs in a full suit case again lmao
"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.
Honestly same... The amount of times I've ended up barefoot after a long day out in heels; in not so barefoot safe spaces.
I tend to carry flippy-flops as a back up. The switched out heels will take up much less space in a purse.
Came here to say this
I think that statement should be the selling point. As in these shoes should not be the main thing of your outfit if it was flats, instead turn it into flats when you want to rest or have a walk after the event
Realistically that's how they should work. You use the heel at the beginning of the night, get pictures, doing your thing. Then when your feet get tired or you're a little too drunk for the heels you convert. Although i would just take another pair of shoes to change into.
That statement saved these shoes for me tbh
bro really woke up and chose elf
LOL
is this zelda marketing safiya LMAOOO
They do sleigh though
‘Tis the season 🤷🏽♀️
These would be a hit in Nelson BC Canada. If you know, you know….
Made for clubbin
Being able to change to flats at the end of a night out is a lifesaver
just put a pair of ballet flats in your bag
@@silverkitty2503right! At least they're cute. These convertible heels are all ugly as fnck. ☠️🤡☠️🤦♀️🙅🤷♀️ I know she's being paid to be nice about them but I'm always amazed by those who actually wear them in real life. They're ugly as hell and the literal worst of BOTH worlds. They're ugly old lady heels. And they're ugly granny flats. I swear they're made by granny's FOR granny's. ☠️🤦♀️🙅🤷♀️🤣
@@silverkitty2503not everyone carry big bags. Especially to the club.
@@shachede6828 they can fit in a tiny purse too and surely its better than these horrible looking things WHO would wear these to the club?
Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Repent and believe in him as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved! God bless! 🩵💕🦋💕🩵

Watching you trying to walk in the “flats” is hilarious. It’s giving evil witch vibes 😂😂😂

"they're just a little... **elf hand gesture** " 😂 real
Adding my vote to the Elf Faction 😅😅

💀
LMAO
Just a little 🧝🏻♀️
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!
YESSS - Our convertible heels were absolutely made to be amazing + comfy heels with a built-in back-up shoe (but don't get us wrong, we still love wearing our flats, too!).
Given places like Hollywood and Las Vegas Blvd have vending machines that will sell you the thinnest rollup flats for $30+ just so you don't walk home barefoot cause your probibly pricey clubbing heels are murder.... These seem far smarter. FOr the exact reasons you gave
@@mousepariah3884 $30+ 💀 ik that convenience always prices stuff up. But like how much does a normal shoe cost in that area?
Yes or us who wear “commuting shoes” on trains and subways and have to change shoes upon arrival at work.
True. They could be just a Tad higher, line 2cm or something, and would instantly look less wonky and still basically fulfill the function of being mostly flat and stable.
But the concept in and of itself is pretty genius.
These are “I’m too drunk for these heels” shoes. Perfect!
But if you’re too drunk for heels, do you still have the dexterity to swap out the heels?
@@MaidMirawyn that depends? What's your level of "too drunk"? Is it blackout or tipsy? Do you have side effects where your hands shake or not? Does your vision swim? Do you have a high tolerance?
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!
😂 No you didn't just say that 🤣🤣🤣
@@GingerNinja1 ?
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.
ok i will try and break them in!
@@safiya Yay thank you for the great content, wish you all the best!
plastic shoes, or any shoes, shouldnt need to break to be useful
I feel like as they flatten over time they would be terrible heels.
I've had a pair for months and worn them a LOT, they definitely flatten out over time and are easier to walk in as flats while still being comfy as heels!
The idea of going to weddings and having the heel for the pictures and the flat for the rest is honestly amazing.
My sister did just that at the last wedding we went to
Bringing along sneakers to dance in is normal practice, when my family goes to weddings
Bu why cant you go with flat shoes to the wedding ?
And they have special deals for weddings too
@@liabstrait8306coz flats ruin the aesthetic of your outfit especially if you’re wearing a dress (which most women do at weddings). Heels elevate your outfit but come at the cost of killing your feet in a few hours. These shoes are a win coz you get the best of both worlds
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.
Absolutely
Finally, socially acceptable for the workplace elf shoes!
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 👌
can you like swap heels between models? like use the boots heels with the scarpins? that would be cool
@@giualonsoyes. The company shows that on their TikTok :)
I do that with my pair haha, I have one pair that I bought a few different heels for - makes it so fun XD @@giualonso
Once they r flats can they be heels again or no?
@@Cutiejuliyayes of course!
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.
the "roll up ballet flats" that evry girl had shoved in her purse when clubbing in the 2000s to use as an emergency exit was such a vibe. Then having to buckle the straps of your actual heels to your handbag or around your wrist to walk home in the flats 😆
@@AreilKnightpeople actually had them?
@SaheeliRai I have seen such in Zara from 2005 until 2010. I wish I bought them (I was too young then to appreciate them) and that they still exist. I have been wearing shoes with a heel since I was 8 years old and back then they were more comfortable than they are now.
@@SaheeliRai ya I remember as a kid walmart sold ballet flats my mom bought them and I wore them as regular shoes if I didn't wanna out on sneakers
@@margaritanoir agree when I went to a school choir I wore heels for over a hour and I felt nothing cause they actually supported the foot now the don't
lmao Safiya's hand movement when she said "just a little ✋⤴" imitating the elf ear-ed shoe, I rewatched just for that it cracked me up
Pulling these out at a wedding reception. Gonna outshine the bride
The creator was on Shark Tank and didn’t get a deal, but she has been killing it recently!
She's great on tiktok!
I follow her on TikTok! Her shoes look pretty comfy
I saw her shark tank video. The guys were bitches to her. But she was sweet and stood strong on her beliefs.
@@PorcupineTheOneandOnly yeah the only thing i agreed with is when one of the ladies said it was uncomfortable. but they were completely bashing the idea and i was just like.... no.. the market is absolutely there you all are just out of touch!
So so sweet + awesome to hear that convertible heels are truly in demand! Plus, we just have to note, the Sharks tried out our original design ("Pashion 1.0") and we've since upgraded the fit, function, and comfortability of our shoes in our new "Pashion 2.0" design!
@@kiayaoi
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!
(sorry I know this is not really the place...) However, such a great idea! I've looked to purchase your shoes a few times but they're always out of stock! Do you not stock the larger foot sizes on the website or are all shoes custom order? I've looked at a few styles but none are ever in stock 🥲
@@Ellla347 Hey girl! We just restocked a bunch of shoes in all of our sizes (5-11) and we have new shoes coming in the next couple months! Love that you love Pashions and hope to see you in a pair soon 🥰
@@pashionfootwear Amazing thank you! I'll have another browse 🥰
@@pashionfootwearlike Ella I’ve always been interested in these and I’m so happy to hear you carry up to size 11, as a size 10 gal finding cute shoes in my size is borderline impossible sometimes and to find almost specialty shoes like this is a rare win, thank you :)
@@psychedelicadhesive right?? I was going to thank them for carrying larger sizes too, as a girl who ranges from size 8 to size 11 in my shoes, most depending on if they can house my weird toe shape (size 8 pointy shoes kind of work because my toes fill the space. Square toes need about an 11 to not hang over though, with an empty triangle of space above the little toes.
I think the best part of these shows is the reaction everyone has to the thing falling off right out the box is exactly the same
It's an adjustable plate... Isn't it?
@@Ann-op5kj I'm not sure. It might be
I actually think the pointed elf like tip looks really cute on these shoes, makes them very whimsical and fairy like
exactly, i think looking a bit elven would be really cool! i get that they might not be the most comfortable tho
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😂
We just used to put a pair of ballet shoes in our bag and would change into those if we need to.
@@louisejohnson6057 thats so smart!
@@louisejohnson6057 Yeah, with my feet, that was never a good option. My feet desperately need more cushion than any ballet slipper ever had. I have to add inserts to every pair of shoes, which means those shoes will only fit in my bag if it's of the "overnight" size.
Gone are the days of ending up barefoot! 😌
See I just don't understand this. If heels are so uncomfortable you can't wear them, then don't. It's possible to get comfortable heels, buy those instead of the latest cheap fashion trend
I follow the creator on TikTok…pretty cool shoes! And yes they are meant to be “flats in case of emergency,” like after a night out and can’t take the heels anymore kinda thing.
So so cool to see our TikTok friends over here on TH-cam, too! 👋🏼
I have two pairs and I love them.
So glad you are loving your Pashions 😊🥰@@lefish5277
I have emergency foldable flats. I wonder if it’s just easier to change into them instead of swapping out a heel
so why do you even wear heels in the first place ?
I swear, you wouldn't think about how it looks like elf shoes at the end of the day when you're already exhausted and all
I have a pair of these from the same brand and walking in them as flats is a little weird at first but I wear them as flats way more often because I only walk in the heels for a full 20 minutes before ditching them for the flats. I honestly love them
I recently bought a pair of these for a wedding! They were honestly ideal, as someone who doesn't wear heels much and didn't want to carry a whole second pair of shoes with me to dance in
So happy to hear you loved your convertible heels! Truly a wedding lifesaver, right?!
@@pashionfootwear Saved my feet and made me look extremely cool in front of all of the other women. They were all big fans
Honestly, the love and dedication that is put in each and every video, is absolutely inspirational! I'm always left in awe watching them! Keep up the incredible work! ❤
"High heels with an emergency exit" is f😂king ✨️*_flawless._* ✨️
sounds like the solution to "god these heels are killing me i'll just go barefoot"
I have several pairs of these! They break in after a bit but I use a little 1” “flat” cap versus the totally flat one to give the toes a little less “elf” look.
agree that the sock bootie shoe is the better of the two!!
How water resistant is it. Having a hole like that seems like if it was raining youd have water get in easy
the backup dancers are so talented as well😭
I will say I know I’m thinking about getting a pet pair for the sole purpose of an elf costume
this is exactly what i've been saying about "convertible" shoes since they started marketing them. you can't make a high heel shoe with a sturdy sole that actually supports the foot that can flatten enough to be comfortable and not weird looking as a flat. you just can't. the only way to make a true convertible shoe would be making the sole super flexible which would mean zero support when on a high heel.
But with the additional base plate would that not make it more sturdy?
@@lana87765 for the shoe to be actually supportive the base plate would have to go all the way from the tip of the shoe to the heel, otherwise a part of the shoe would be flappy and thus not stable enough to be safe. is it doable? yes. but it defeats the purpose of quick and convenient convertible shoe. it would also NOT flatten all the way unless the base plate was completely removable (which is my main point against realistic convertible shoes) because in order for a high heel shoe to work you NEED a curved sole towards the tip. this is inherently incompatible with a flat shoe.
the sturdy sole that is present in conventional high heel shoes and that goes from the tip to the heel is necessary to keep your foot in the right position for walking. if whichever part of that sole is soft your foot will have to maintain the position by flexing the muscles which will amplify strain. if you added a base plate between the heel and the ball of your foot, you would still have to make sure that your toes are bent upwards by flexing them constantly.
creating a convertible shoe that has the sturdy curved part available for support when in the "high heel" position but is also capable of completely flattening when the high heel is removed would mean a ballet flat with a soft sole that comes with a removable curved sole with a high heel that you can snap onto the shoe. this, again, defeats the purpose of a convertible shoe.
you can't make a convertible shoe that simply pops up a heel like it's a bicycle kickstand that is both flexible enough to be comfortable as a flat and supportive as a high heel.
Right, people don’t understand good high heels will have a steel shank to support your arch to help distribute the weigh on your foot.
@@lana87765the plate makes it sturdy as a heel, but it doesn’t give it the flexibility as a flat shoe to not curve up like elf shoes
I kind of feel like it needs a certain kind of “ bend and snap”material. Kinda like whatever the material is that they used to use for hair-agami’s back in the day but sturdier. (P.S Excuse my not initially intended legally blond reference! 😂 )
“Heels with an Emergency exit” 😂😂
I laughed out loud 😂😂
That laugh sounded like the one vampires do in the Sims 4
Just a little “💅” is such a mood
Avoids the walk of shame carrying your shoes home at the end of the night.
Okay but can we appreciate that smoothly executed video loop like A1 editing right there
That was def top tier
Sounds chronically online.
As someone who constantly presses up and walks on toes but enjoy heals these are perfect for me
No one talks about how difficult series cringe can be, but I love it so much still 😂
I think these are a fantastic option for weddings. Have a nice heel for the ceremony and then be able to take them off and boogie during the reception! No one will notice your elf toe while you’re busting a move!
And if you have something floor length it would cover them
Just FYI when you have your wedding dress tailored the bottom will be hem to barley kiss the floor, if the dress drags on the floor by much (especially a few inches) it will be very hard to walk (or dance) in. It’s best to wear the same shoes all day, so if you’re not someone who can wear heels for for 10 hours, it’s best to wear flats from start to finish.
I say embrace the elf toe, could make for some great pics 😆
This sounds great for an unexpected long walk situation, or by end of the night feet in agony move
You get it! High heels with an escape hatch 🤭
I’ve always wondered about these. Thank you for testing them.
Thank YOU!❤
I’ve been looking as Pashion shoes for awhile and was super curious. TYSM for making a video!
I know there are different brands. You should do a convertible heel showdown and see which ones are best!
This!
Yes!
If i'm not mistaken the other brand went bankrupt a year ago or so
@@sekar9901 Oh dear. I wonder which one. The Vice Versa brand seems to be still going strong
@@kayoungthompson6893 it's mime et moi. They closed their business during covid
There have been times I've wanted emergency exit flats. And those flat heels are easier for an evening bag than a pair of ballet flats.
Pashions are calling your name 😏
Plus you don't have to carry the high heel shoes once switching these heels like you do when carrying flats! I'm tempted!
Most honest review lol, totally fair just to have an "emergency" flat situation
The loop was amazing
Safiya's laugh of triumph feels like she has officially entered Disney villain arc
You are proof everyone on the internet is watching the same content
he's here!
I am here for the ELF VIBES!!!! It may look funny to you, but I am in love with the subtle elfness❤️ 😍 Fairytale day wear
Elf core🧝🏼♀️🍀😂
I love it too! it just looks so pointy and elegant!
Definitely a feature not a bug! 😊
The loop transition was perfect
Omg the flats are hilarious! I could never take myself seriously in those
I have these, and they absolutely rule for weddings or going into work. They’re awesome.
*YOU* ARE AWESOME! Thank you for the love!
The arch part that is not bending flat is called the shank. It's usually made of metal so it makes sense that it wouldnt be able to adpt completely.
Man I always love watching people play this game
oh wait i love her laugh!soo hearty
“High heels with an emergency exit” is so perfect. And poetic 🤣🤗
I love the emergency exit idea!
Welcome to our footwear revolution!
If only they would combine this idea with the convertible boots! 🤩
Yayy first impression of them has been completely validated thank you
It's one of those "good in theory, bad in practice" situations
I really like these they're good for going somewhere you wanna wear heels but you know you would be walking a lot, changing into flats makes it more comfortable
We might be biased, but we couldn't agree more!
Perfect analogy, "Heels with an emergency exit"❤😂
They are good for emergency situations like when your foot start hurting from heels. They may not look good as flats but serve the purpose
A full video of these and styling them and wearing them out for a week should be a thing!
I think this would be really good for an event where you want to wear high heels but also know at the end of the night that you're gonna want to take the heels off. Maybe a wedding and you can dance in the flats but then put the heels back on for pictures and things like that.
Convertible heels truly are the ultimate wedding shoes! Well, according to our endless reviews from brides and guests, anyway... 💃
That’s what they were made for honey
I love it 😂 “high heels with an emergency exit” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THAT LAUGH IN TRIUMPH AT THE START😂😂😂
you know for a case of "fuck ot my feet can't take it anymore" I feel this is more elegant then just going bare feet
Me, the social media manager, wondering how I can use this exact quote without getting fired for profanity... BECAUSE EXACTLY 🤭 👏🏼
I had these Sperry flats that were made to be portable for this purpose and they were so nice to have for events! I have flat, sensitivite feet and can only wear sneakers daily so I would really recommend those if they're still around! Kinda want a new pair since mine are ancient 😂
I have wanted these shoes for ages. So many times I've worn heels to weddings only to have my feet so sore that I have to take my shoes off before the wedding is over.
These would be great!
These would be amazing at weddings and other occasions like that
Thats the biggest problem with convertible heels - dealing with the shank (the part under the arch of your foot). Heels need support, which doesn't translate well to flats. Easy conversion usually results in a soft shank, which does not provide the needed support for wearing heels.
Thats what the added plate is for. To add support
@@GachaWolf81900sounds too fiddly at that point.
I wore them at my wedding and loved them! They were super comfortable throughoutmy entire wedding, but did take some getting used (the week beforehand)
I believe they’d be best for those nights you wanna wear the heel but when the night is over and your feet hurt turn em into the flats to go home lol
The product is very suitable for models who travels I’d say. Also using it as an emergency shoe product is a genius way to put it :D
Honestly genius for environmental reasons too. If your herl breaks you get a new heel to put on instead of a new shoe
Yes, the fact so few shoes can be resoled nowdays really bugs me, historically you'd keep he uppers of a shoe going for way longer by replacing the whole sole but that's not possible anymore due to how they make them. Such a waste to have to throw a whole shoe away just because the sole us worn down.
This is so fun, I worked with the founder of Pashion in urdergrad, its awesome to see how far the brand has come! 😊
That transition was amazing
Perfect for something like prom. My daughter has hers this weekend and so I bought her those cool slippers that you can keep rolled inside your purse.
I like the idea of being able to wear the heels out for the night and have the flat caps in my purse for emergencies
I also like the idea of having different heels to attach to a shoe to change the look. Like block heels for an outdoor event or stilettos for indoor
I've also been down the convetible heels rabbithole. Mime et Moi made the best ones because shoe would be completely flat in its low heel form. No weird elf toes. Too bad they went out of business 😢
Interesting. Excited to see how this develop in years to come. BUT THIS IS SO COOL FOR WHEN YOU GO OUT!!!! OOO!!
"Dancing" heels and "end of the night" heels. I would have needed that...
Get orthotic inserts for your shoes! My doctor wrote a prescription for some and they custome made them! Changed my flat footed life! They make my whole body feel better because I'm not pronating, like my knees, hips, back ect
I own a couple of the original Pashion designs and I really enjoy them! I've worn them to weddings and even my own wedding! I would definitely consider buying more in the future
these are like what i would wear to a concert bc i can look fancy when i get there but if my feet get tired during the show i can just take the heels off and throw them in my bag lol
Really interesting , Can't wait for the next one! ❤
I wore those out with my friend, I'd be getting the biggest “ WAT R THOZZZZ” moment on the spot 💀🤣🤣
My sons would totally, “bruh” me. 😂😂
Finally someone who understands what it feels like being flat footed in heels 😂
Right?! 😭 LMFAO
It .
h u r t s
"High heels with an emergency exit." Had me. I love the review though.
This is absolutely the coolest shoe ever ♥️
When they're flats, your inner elf comes out 😊
I always trust Safiya to have answers to the questions that pop up in my head randomly at 3am.
I want these in green, and put some little leaves and flowers on them ❤ so pretty
This is exactly what I was wondering, it looks bad in flat in every video someone made!! Thanks for answering my never-sent question lol!!!!
I had the same experience when I first bought these. It takes a couple of times wearing them for the arch profile to adapt to your feet. And then start feeling much more comfy to walk in. But they take some time at first.
So happy to hear you're a happy Pashionista! We definitely recommend some "break-in" time for the flats to get flatter, etc! 💕
I think they are a great idea! I love to wear heels but if I’m out for the entire day eventually I’m sick of them and to be able to flip over to flats would be awesome. Especially when traveling!
We couldn't have said it better ourselves!
The way I just snorted when you came out in the flat 🤣😅
THE SHOES CURLING AT THE TOE WHEN SHE WALKS IS KILLLING MEEEE😭😭😭😭😭
