Headlight Shoes

We have seen a lot of Shoes having lights at the heals and they go on when you put pressure on your heals. But, this is the first Shoe design I have seen that has a light right on the tip. The shoe is designed in such a way that it converts kinetic energy generated while walking into electrical energy. A tiny battery lying in the heels charges up with each step and keeps the headlights on for a about 12 hours, dispersing light at 1.5 meters.(More info)

CD-Rom Shoes

This cool concept shoe features an integrated CD-ROM, tweeters, a volume control knob and some speakers. The idea of putting a CD-ROM drive instead of Hard Drive or Flash memory is a bit outdated. I am so curios how it might tinckle the feet when the CD in ROM Drive is spinning. (More info)

    Interesting and informative content.

    I just wanted to share some piece of information for those looking out to buy exercise shoes. It’s very important to shop for the right shoes without being carried away by the mirrors, lights, great displays and other such luring factors where you often tend to forget the comfort of the shoe.

    Make sure you wear thick socks or those that you often wear for exercising so that you get the right size shoe. Another interesting point to notice is that our feet tend to swell a bit in the evening so buying shoes during evening is the ideal time as this will help you buy the shoe for the maximum foot size. Most important of all is don’t go by the pricing of the shoes while buying them. A high price does not always mean top quality. The price tends to be higher since the shoes are endorsed by reputed personalities. Buy your shoes based on the frequency of usage. If you are in a regular exercise routine, then you can consider extending your budget.
