Shoes Thinking for Themselves...

Now, is technology getting the better of us? Welcome the "Smart Shoe." A nifty little creation by Adidas. Three years in the making in Germany, the shoe with a computer chip in the sole "adapts its cushioning level to a runner's size and stride," assuming that gives the optimal comfort and effectiveness.

Powered by a battery that only is used while pressure is being applied, the chip is 40 grams, and is attached at the arch by a tiny screw and cable system that connects to the heal, adjusting by sending electric signals and a magnet. - $250 buckaroos

It reminds me of Reeboks shoe, "the Pump."

With its magical little ball on the tongue where you can push to the desired pressure to supposedly give your shoe a tighter fit. Let's hope this one works much better.
