Trade The Foot Ache For a Headache.

In Britain they have a new kind of vending machine, one that dispenses a pair of flats for roughly $8.00 in American money. The vending machines are being used thus far at clubs for women who choose to wear stilettos and are about to keel over halfway through the night.

Sounds like a pretty neat idea, I know there are plenty of times I wish I had shoved a pair of flats into my purse or my school bag. If only my school had a vending machine filled with flats right next to the soda and candy.

I don't really see these vending machines making their way into America, but if they happened to, I'd definitely like to see them at all school dance locations. I don't think this happens at all schools, but at my school girls wear their heels for a few minutes and then take them off once entering the dancing area. This means the night ends with lots of dirty, sticky feet and a few lingering girls frantically searching for the shoes their mom lent them.

Would you make good use of a flat dispenser if they had them wear you live? (At clubs, at your place of work, your school, whatever.) And if you happen to live in Britain, have you tried it out?

Wait... really?! That's an AWESOME idea! My local club back home has a toothbrush vending machine (which is pretty darn handy when you've just thrown up) but one with FLATS??? Amazing.

What? Awesome idea? No way! An awesome idea is remembering to shove some flat shoes in your bag before you go out, not wasting $8 bones on a cheap pair of shoes you'll only wear once!

I just did a post on these too! I think its a wonderful idea. I always wear incredibly high heels out to the clubs and bars and no room to pack a spare pair of flats.

i survive the night but when it becomes time to walk home for the evening I always need a piggy back from my guy friends.
