Hi everyone ! We are Ouerdia and Alexis. We present to you : Shoes Your Back ! Every day, tying our shoes can be complicated for some people. That's why we need a product which will preserve our back. No need to bend down anymore.
For that, we have imagined a shoe which is connected at an application on your Smartphone. With  the application, we can choose the pressure of shoes on our feet. And that without forgetting our planet: it charges when you walk.
Besides fabric can be changed directly on the shoe.
Save money by buying only one pair. The pair will cost 150$.
But before you see it on your favourite marketplace, we need you to help us in the development of the prototype. We need 60,000$ in 90 days.
Don't worry, you will have rewards in return to thank you.
If you give 10$, you could choose the design of the pair to your future purchase. For 100$ you have the same advantages  plus a pair of shoes. Finally, for 500$, you have both of before advantages plus a pack of 10 different fabrics plus soles which can be changed according to your activity.

Thanks for your reading.

Final Report

Problem Statement

For our senior design project we have chosen to design and prototype a pair of self lacing shoes with the initial target audience being people with disabilities who are limited in their ability to tie their own shoes for a variety of reasons. However, we hope that this product will catch on in popularity and become normalized for all people. These shoes will allow the wearer to easily slip them on and then secure the shoes to the foot with the push of a button rather than tying laces as in conventional shoes. This process will be driven by a mechanical motor and ratchet system hidden in the soles of the shoes. While alternatives such as Velcro, slip-ons, and even other self-lacing shoes are available on the market, each of these options have short comings which our product aims to improve on. From lack of foot support to lack of style and inaccessible prices, the current market does not provide a suitable option for people who want something other than conventional shoes.
