The shoes connect to a phone app. The app shows detailed reports. Runners see their step patterns. They see how their feet land. They see how hard they push off. This data helps avoid injuries. It also helps improve running form. People can run better over time.
A small battery powers the sensors. It lasts many runs before needing a charge. Charging happens easily with a cable. The shoes look like normal running shoes. The technology fits inside. No extra parts stick out. Sony used lightweight materials. Comfort remains important for runners.
Sony tested the shoes with real runners. They tested different foot types. They tested different running styles. Feedback guided the final design. The goal is useful technology. The goal is better running for everyone. Sony believes runners will like them.
