During my time in Japan I learned to take extra good care of my shoes and always carried a small shoe-polish with me. Why? Notice how the Japanese don't shake hands but bow when they greet each other. That means they always look straight into each other's shoes. If you ever go to Japan to work that's a good little tip to know!

What if shoes had (air pockets) that were filled with baking soda or some sort of athletic foot deodorizer/antiperspirant? I am always shaking foot powder on my feet before working out. It be nice if it were built into the shoe? Also did you know soaking your feet in tea helps get rid of foot odor?

Shoes that store kinetic energy

This is probably a very unrealistic thought. I am posting it in case any ambitious engineers might want to give it a go. Some gyms in California store kinetic energy that is produced when people run on machines or when they lift weights. The energy is then converted into electricity and is re-used or sold. What if the shoes we wear could also store the kinetic energy we produce when we walk or run? We could then convert it into electricity, re-use it at home or sell it

What if there was an electric mat that could clean your shoes before you enter in the house just by standing on it?

for those who have ever used those reversible belts they already know how useful it is. You pay for one belt but it's as if you have two of them.
What if they could make the same for the shoes. I saw today a nice pair of shoes and I was between black and brown. If there was a color trick like that one with the reversible belt my life would have been much easier. You buy one pair of shoes and you just reverse it to the color you want to put on.
