Convertible Ankle Boot/Heels
Darn Fly shoes would start small with a 300 pair line of a convertible ankle boot which can be worn with or without a detachable/interchangeable top (similar to "spats"). I will continue my support of unemployment programs for women by donating several pairs each season for their interviews
Idea Description
My idea has been a four year goal to have a small shoe line and expand it using the initital profit. The convertible ankle boot would come with a basic black bottom and three unique interchangeable ankle wraps to choose from. It can be worn with one of the interchangeable wraps or as a step in heel. The boot comes with a black ankle wrap. Two ankle wraps of different colors/patterns would be sold separately for a much lower price than buying another pair of shoes. Allowing the customer to save money while having four different looks. This reminds people how to reuse an item instead of purchasing a new one. Please visit www.ubeek.com/darnfly for more info and thanks for the support!
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
The first would be to have a website built then manufacture the shoes. I have sourced a manufacturer for this design which would cost $8,000 for 300 pairs. The estimate includes shipping but excludes importing fees. Next, I would market the line by advertising in magazines and on the internet. The shoes would be sold at retail price on our e-commerce website and at wholesale price to boutiques/stores. The unique interchangeable aspect should be appealing to women who want to accessorize and match their outfits but are also conscious of their budget. In the future, I plan on adding more styles to choose from for the interchangeable ankle straps as well as shoes for men, children and babies.
Vote for it now.



Q1: The challenge would be to create a clear and concise explanation so that the average person can understand how the convertible ankle wrap is utilized. There will be an ankle wrap included with the initial purchase and two other color choices (such as leopard print or red) will be sold separately. My illustration of the shoe is on this page: www.ubeek.com/darnfly
I would like any comments on that illustration and whether or not it is clear as to the function of the ankle wrap. It is much like a spat but is shorter and zips up against the inner side of the shoe. Thanks for viewing my idea.
I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
