Geeky Smart Shoes

These shoes below are the coolest I’ve seen. While some of them are concepts for now, some have been in shops for some time. These shoes look like any typical shoe in shape, but functionally they do more than just protect your feet from dust and ground.

Adidas Smart Shoes

Adidas1 use a 20-Mh microprocessor implanted in the sole which collects readings from the shoe’s movements and adjusts the fit of the shoe accordingly. You don’t have to think about how fit the shoes might be, just wear them and they will adjust the fit themselves. The shoe knows when you’re walking, jogging and standing still and adjusts the shoes in a way that makes the feet most comfortable.

Adidas Bounce:S

Porsche Design P’5510 running shoes is designed for the Porsche design sport range. Developed by Adidas and uses the Bounce:S cushioning system that uses metallic springs to increase the energy return in your bounce impact providing a more efficient walk. Unlike a sports car suspension system, the lever arms transfer the vertical impact of your stride into forward propulsion through the expansion of these coils.

Nike & iPod Sport Kit

Nike - iPod combo is workout companion for iPod-using runners. The sport kit comes with adapter that attaches to the iPod and a pedometer that fits inside the shoe. Pedometer tracks steps and communicates wirelessly with the adapter on the iPod. The iPod records and displays statistics such as distance traveled, calories burned, and time elapsed.



Headlight Shoes

A lot of Shoes have lights at heals and they go on when you put pressure on heals. But, this is the first Shoe that has a light right on the tip. The shoe convert kinetic energy of walking into electrical energy. A tiny battery in heels charges up with each step and keeps the headlights on for a about 12 hours, dispersing light at 1.5 meters.

GTX GPS Xplorer Smart Shoes

The GTX GPS shoes have a small GPS tracking device inside the shoe which reports the location to a central tracking service. A feature called GeoFencing sends an SMS to your mobile phone when the wearer of the shoes leaves a particular predefined area and notifies you of the current position.
