I could have called this post “From Tiger to Kitten Heel in Seconds” but I didn’t. Anyway, from Naver News:

단 1초 만에 8cm가 넘는 하이힐을 3cm 높이의 평범한 신발로 조정할 수 있는 ‘높이 조절 하이힐’이 인기를 끌고 있다고 20일 미국 WCBS TV가 보도했다.

언론 보도에 따르면, 한 켤레의 신발로 패션과 편안함을 동시에 누릴 수 있는 신개념 하이힐을 개발한 회사는 미국 필라델피아에 위치한 ‘카밀레온힐스’.

What’s that, you say? Adjustable high heels? Naver News talks about the Philadelphia local news coverage of this ingenious idea, but it’s even better when you see the video at CamileonHeels.com:

Naver씨! 여기는 인터넷이거든요? 그래서 유튜브비디오가 나와있으면 스크린캡펴만 하지말고 비디오자체를 보여주시죠? 오케이? 유갓잇? ㅋㅋ

에에이. Naver씨 – 농담이잖아요, 농담. 에이, 왜 그렇세요? 장난인지…알지…오? 헤헤.

Following fashion trends can sometimes make you feel so superficial, self-absorbed, and decadent, so it’s refreshing to find people who are using fashion and shopping to do something good for the world.
