The average person walks about 10,000 steps a day. During a lifetime,
the person will have walked approximately 150,000 miles, which is four
times around the world. The human foot contains approximately 125,000
sweat glands that excrete as much as 250ml of moisture per day and that
25% of 26 bones are located in the human foot.
This project is modern day footwear for young adults seeking a casual but flexible option in shoes. The nanotechnology in the fibres react to the intensity of the UV light which relaxes and opens up the textile fibre when the sun is strong, to allow more ventilation.when the whether is cooler, the nanotechnology within the sole allows the fabrics to stiffen thereby reducing air circulation in the shoe.
Another characteristic of the shoe is that it has a programmed response to resist bacteria, which allows it to combat foot odour, tinnia and other fungal problems. The Barefoot product is totally recyclable and can be constantly adapted with other design options such as sole, heel and toecaps. The product also has the additional feature of massage programming. This sole setting is available in grass, sand and water to give the wearer a virtual organic walking experience.
