So how do you get them off if the batteries die out when you’re wearing them?

[trebb]

Great - the clip-on ties of the sneaker world.....anything to keep overcharging for a product.....

[Jack Hydrazine]

Will those shoes allow you to text your homies?

[SPOTTEDOWL]

Great for liberals and Americans of African descent who have to hire people to tie their shoe laces currently.

[Charles Martel]

I forgot to charge my shoes last night.

I'd guess that this won't be a commonly-heard excuse for being late to work.

[JimRed]

Another excuse for inner city break-the-window shopping sprees when another criminal is shot by police!

[Chode]

100%

[discostu]

The price of having to charge your shoes overnight.

[Chode]

no TV so no TV remote

no dishwasher

no garage door, so no garage door opener

yes auto-trans, first car i've owned that wasn't standard

yes washer

no dryer

no escalators within 50 miles from here

yes elevators

so guess i'm only a partial Luddite... 8^)

Version 2.0 will be self charging by generating power every time you take a step. In fact it should be able to generate way more power than it needs, so you can charge your phone with it, or sell it back to the grid. (Another patent I should apply for.)
