It is precisely starting from experiences like this that is born Vice versaa revolutionary shoe that puts an end to the torment of elegant but painful footwear. Behind this small miracle of fashion applied engineering there is Alanna Fusaroyoung American designer who imagined and created an idea as simple as it is brilliant: a pair of shoes with Retractile heelwhich in a few seconds turn into comfortable and refined dancers.

We are not talking about shoes to use only on special occasions: deputy versa is designed for true lifethat made of races, unexpected events and long days away from home.
From New York to aerospace engineering
It all began in 2021. Alanna Fusaro has just graduated from Carnegie Mellon Universityone of the most prestigious universities in the United States, and has an idea that blends them in the head for some time: create a pair of high heel shoes that can be Fold in dancers. An idea that was born from his years lived in New York, where as many women has experienced the frustration of having to choose between style and practicality.
With a brilliant mind and an engineer formation, Fusaro decides not to stop at the simple dream. Start working with a group of Boeing engineersyes, precisely those of the planes. Together, they design a solid and compact mechanism, capable of enduring the weight and daily wear without compromising the beauty of the shoe.
After Dozens of prototypes, 3D models and resistance teststhe result takes shape: Deputy Versa is born, a model that manages to unite Refined design, long -lasting comfort and precision engineering. Unlike other similar attempts, these shoes also affect for the elegance of the lines and the quality of the materials.
How vice versa works
The beauty of deputy versa is that its transformation mechanism is intuitive, safe and usable even with shoes on the feet. There is no need to take anything away, nor twist in absurd poses. Just pull a hidden tongue under the sole, press a small silver button located inside the heel and the game is done: The 9 cm heel portrays inside the soletransforming the shoe into one Elegant and comfortable dancerready to face any floor, from the cement to the parquet of a ballroom.
To close the shoe in the flat version, a small door integrated in the sole is lowered. A simple and fluid mechanism, which really gives the feeling of having Two shoes in one. And all this in less than five seconds.

Some admit that they have exceeded the initial rigidity of the materials after a few days, but confirm that comfort stabilizes quickly. Also the price, which is around the 395 dollars (about 370 euros)appears justified: these are still two shoes in one, with a design studied in detail and resistant materials.
It is not a detail just even the Savings of space on the stock exchange or in the suitcaseespecially for those who travel often or have the habit of taking spare shoes for the evening. With deputy versa, the problem simply no longer arises.
Of course, there are limits: the heel is fixed at 9 cm and not adjustable in height, the availability is still limited to the official online shop and the shipment starts from the United States, with times and costs to be considered. But for many, these small obstacles are widely compensated by the benefits.
