Shoes specially designed for sale through vending machines appeared in the UK

In the UK, there are machines in which you can buy comfortable and fashionable ballet shoes with the symbolic name Afterheels.

Flat-soled vending machines have become a real treat for all the British nightclub patrons. The creator of fashionable ballet shoes is Michael Stead, also known under the pseudonym Michael Shoomaker. The idea to make comfortable and fashionable ballet flats available to everyone came to Michael after one not very funny incident. One day, his girlfriend's heel broke, which caused the girl to fall and broke her leg. As a result, she had to spend the holidays in a cast. Then Michael came up with comfortable ballet flats at a convenient price: a pair of Afterheels will cost only 5 pounds (or 8 dollars). And unlike shops, vending machines work around the clock. Shoes fit in a special cardboard box, equal in size to a pack of cigarettes.

The surface of the fashionable flats is waterproof, and the outsole is firm enough to protect the feet. There is a comfortable insole inside the shoe. Fashionable ballet flats are already on sale not only on the streets, but also in nightclubs throughout Britain. Based on materials novate.ru
