Vending Machines That Sell Flats: Best Idea Ever?

By Sheila • Dec 8, 2011

Heels are my best friend and my worst enemy and I never know how to respond when a guy says, "Why do you women do this to yourselves?" Every weekend before I set out to conquer the world *cough* I face the same dilemma...Should I, shouldn't I? I usually end up convincing myself that my night out is pointless if I don't have a pair of heels on. Afterall, I love the way they make me look and feel that is until the end of the night when my feet feel like they're on fire and I find myself wondering, Why DO we do this to ourselves? Never again, I promise my poor aching feet.

Wouldn't it be nice if heels just magically transformed into flats at the end of the night? I know there's the option of carrying a spare pair of flats and believe me, I've tried but it's not always convenient and more importantly, I don't usually remember to do that. And this is why, some genius out there akaRollasole came up with the brilliant idea of vending machines that sell flats!
Apparently these have been around in Europe and Australia for a while and have finally appeared in the United States, inside the Vanity Nightclub in Vegas to be specific. They will be launching soon in clubs across Vegas as well as LA and who knows, maybe you'll see it in a nightclub near you soon enough.
My only issue is that each pair costs $19.95 and that means personally, I would only indulge if it is a REAL emergency. If not, I think I'd call it a night and limp back home. Still, you have to give them credit for the amazing idea. I can only hope that they figure out a way to make it more pocket friendly. What do you think? Vote below!

    I feel that even though we look good in heels, is it really worth being uncomfterble? We can wear cute flats, it will still look good and way more comfy:)

    Way too expensive. You can buy flats a lot of places around here for 10 dollars. Coming from a vending machine and made of material thin enough to roll, I would think they are very cheaply made and should cost less.
