Genius Brits Comes Up With Vending Machine That Sell Flats In Clubs
Monday June 15th 2009, 4:24 pm
Filed under: 2009, Footwear, Random, Women's Fashion, uk

We’ve all been there; in retarded amounts of pain simply because you will suffer to look good. I’ve seen girls taking off their shoes after only a few hours on the town – this is nasty and also potentially dangerous.

Fear the heel no longer! At least in the UK that is.

Vending machines in Brit clubs sell out of the £5 flats in no time. There are two companies hocking this newest craze; Afterheels and Rollasoles. Afterheels happen to be comprised of 100% natural and fully recyclable materials, creating a sustainable product that you won’t feel too terribly about wearing and ditching. The shoes even come with a bag to put your heels in for the trek home… how ingenious!

The Rollasole design is funkier (metallic with a bow), but for snazzier design you get a product that is less environment friendly.

I vote for machines like this to pop up in North America!

I love this idea, Many a time I have walked home bare foot because of killer heels and walked in something nast

Love this idea…bring it to the states so we can take advantage of it!

06.15.09 @ 10:05 pm

Great idea! I would love to see this in the states!!!

06.16.09 @ 1:01 pm

Awesome idea – I would definitely use these!

06.16.09 @ 1:40 pm

when im wearing heels, i always take flats with me, so i can change whenever i want,i dont have to buy and trhow them away… lets give the earth a break.=)

06.16.09 @ 3:54 pm

@Ceci: I do the same. The one company -does- sell 100% recyclable shoes, though. Technically it’s not terrible for the environment.

06.16.09 @ 3:59 pm

this was more impressive when i thought it meant vending machines that sold apartments…

06.16.09 @ 4:35 pm

Recycling IS terrible for the environment. Its just slightly less terrible than throwing things away. The only benefit to recycling is that the material isn’t filling a landfill. It still requires energy and creates a significant amount of pollution to reprocess anything for recycling. The best thing you can do is never create the waste in the first place.

06.16.09 @ 8:25 pm

i thought they were selling apartments too. but this is a pretty great idea!

06.17.09 @ 8:27 pm

This is genius…..amazing!

06.17.09 @ 9:12 pm

Just because something can be recycled, doesn’t automatically make it “earth friendly.” We should consider the environmental cost to make the item – harvesting raw materials, shipping them to a factory, assembling the item, shipping it to you, then recycled. This shoe is a GREAT idea. However, we cant let ourselves be sold the idea that consuming extra goods, more than we need, is earth friendly.

I second that! I don’t go out clubbing much, but when I have I hate wearing heels and take them off after a while. It’s a brilliant idea.

06.20.09 @ 12:26 am

LOVE IT……….LIKE WHEN HEELS HURT YOUR FEET ITS SO HANDY

06.20.09 @ 6:32 am

I absolutely love this! I can’t wait to see it in the states,it will be a hit!

06.20.09 @ 2:03 pm

[...] ladies: an unparalleled brilliance to the solution of uncomfortable but attractive footwear – vending machine flats! * Obama’s amazing reaction time to a fly buzzing around during an interview. * A humorous [...]

06.22.09 @ 8:30 am

I hope they have nose at the next club I wear stupid shoes to

06.26.09 @ 9:53 pm

…yeah, or… you could save your money and actually wear comfortable shoes to begin with. If you’ve worn them out before, and they hurt: don’t wear them again. Common sense, people.

06.27.09 @ 2:15 pm

you girls should just wear your flats to the club! problem solved!! less energy and waste of material for shoes you will wear once.

06.27.09 @ 5:38 pm

This is idiotic. If you can admit that your shoes cause you a ridiculous amount of pain, then why not admit that you need to wear more sensible shoes. Cute shoes that don’t hurt DO exist. This is an absurdly frivolous product.

06.28.09 @ 6:08 am

I think you meant “rollasoles” is snazzier and is metallic with a pink bow, not “aftersoles” typo? :)

07.01.09 @ 5:40 pm

@Dee: whoops.. corrected!

07.02.09 @ 11:43 am

Cute idea but,here’s a better one: Don’t wear heals or bring your own flats. >.>

08.12.09 @ 1:17 pm

women are so stupid…

08.15.09 @ 7:26 pm

@Mark: whatever happened to restraining chauvinistic opinions? You should have been taught better than that. Your email moniker of ‘assholeman’ [@hotmail.com] is quite accurate.

08.17.09 @ 9:21 am

Or you could just not wear heels to the club…
Oh women and our obsession with beauty. Now we get to pay for our idiocy, in the literal sense >.>

09.13.09 @ 2:46 pm

How about – flats small or flexible enough that you could fold them and stick them in a small purse pocket? Then you could easily have your flats with you in case your feet get tired.
