Problem: Shoes get dirty and are wasteful because we buy new ones every time the sole wears out, or the shoe goes out of style.

Prototype: ShoeSwap

Solution: A shoe made of completely recycled and recyclable materials, with swappable soles for easy cleaning and customization. The shoes are completely waterproof.

Group: Hammad & Nasif

Description: Shoes are very succeptible to dirt stains, water damage, etc. It is more effective to prevent these materials from touching the shoe in the first place, that way no effort is required to remove the materials.
How the prototype solves the problems: Shoe covers already exist in the market; however, they may be inefficient due to its design, making it difficult to walk/run. Our prototype will be designed to not interfere with how the user moves around, while still keeping the shoe free of dirt and water damage.

Problem: Shoes are getting dirty and stained by mud and other substances that are impossible to clean off.

Prototype: There are 20 different biodegradable layers that can be taken off the shoes. If you run out of layers you can buy new replacements.

Solution: The biodegradable layers propose a fitting solution as they are easily removable on-the-go and the amount of them would last someone with these shoes a long time.

Problem: shoes with too much fabric get really dirty when they get wet.

Prototype:  Shoes with out a tongue to limit water coming in.   Shoes with water proof coating and with dark collared fabric. laces are at the top of the shoe around the ankles.

Solution:  Our design solves this problem by enabling the sole of the shoe to be changed and cleaned in the washing machine. By not having a tongue on the shoe it allows the shoe to have less entry points and less ways to get dirty.

Problem: The bottom of shoes collect mud and dirt. This can cause other areas to get dirty (houses, cars, etc.) when walking around in shoes.

Prototype: Shoes come with holes in the bottom of the soles so that the removable sole can be clipped into it. The removable soles can also be made with an adhesive side so that they can stick onto the bottoms of shoes.

Solutions: The prototype allows for shoe soles to be removed so that they can be cleaned and won't track dirt or mud into homes.

Problem: Shoes get dirty and there is no existing method to clean them quickly and efficiently in a safe way for the shoes.

Prototype: A washing machine-like chamber with rubber bristles, low-pressure water jets, and soap dispensers. The shoe goes into the chamber and the bristles spin soap and water around the whole shoe.

Solution: Our design solves our problem by cleaning the shoes in a quick and efficient way, the entire shoe is cleaned and disinfected and the process overall can be completed quickly.

Problem: Laces of shoes get dirty quick and also the holes in the shoes catch a lot of dirt which can lead to many health defects. When alcohol such as hand sanitizer falls on the shoes it loses a lot of color and most importantly a lot of shoes are not comfortable. Besides many shoes are not practical and simplistic.

Prototype: I decided to take the laces out and instead add a zipper which will prevent tripping and also not get dirty as quickly. It will be very easy to zip the shoe on and will be simplistic. Many of the shoes will be in darker shades so that they don't get the dirty look as quickly. There will be repelling technology so if alcohol based products accidently drip on it it doesn't lose its color. Since we took the holes of from the body of the shoe, we put it on the sole of the shoe so it can breathe and there is also an air bubble under the shoe so it can be a way that air gets through the shoes. It will have a leather design so it doesn't get as much dirt inside and it will also have a cotton interior so it can be comfy.

Solution: This shoe will be revolutionary to the shoe industry for the reason that it will essentially be one of the most simplistic shoes and all health issues that come with wearing shoes will be much less. Besides these shoes are comfortable and most importantly impose a much lesser of a hassle to clean it.

Problem: Shoes get to dirty from minor things and are hard to clean because of the materials used to make them (knit or leather). Also, when laces on shoes get dirty, they make the entire shoe look dirtier because they are the centerpiece of the shoe.

Prototype: The GUM shoes

Solution: We will make a shoe out of gum rubber to repel outer elements of nature. This material will make it easier to clean because it is more malleable and resistant to stains. Also, the self-lacing technology will eliminate the possibility of dirty laces that ruin the look of the rest of the shoe.

Problem: Shoes get dirt and creases on them which make them unappealing and worn out over time.

Prototype: Shoe Polish to protect shoes from dirt and creasing
Solution:  Oil in the polish makes the show move easier and bleach with lemon juice protects it from dirt, the oil also
makes the shoe more slippery therefore dirt is easy to remove.

Problem: When shoes get worn out or used to the extreme, many people just throw it out and which becomes waste. It can either end up in a garbage disposal or in the middle of the ocean.

Prototype: The prototype is a can spray made out of recycled plastic. This spray can go up to 3-5 feet in range and with only a good amount of spray and a wipe the shoe will be cleaned and ready for new use. We are using soap water, baking soda and other cleaning chemicals to help with the product.

Solution: It can make worn out shoes look new and ready for good use.

Problem: shoes tend to become dirty over the course of the day from substances such as food, drink, dirt etc.

Prototype: a protective shoe cover which will extend over the top of the shoe to prevent stains. It is also removable.

Solution: This shoe solves this problem because it is removable and will remove the stains from the day along with it. Additionally, due to its slippery surface, you could wash the stains off and reuse the plastic if it is not damaged to reduce waste.

Problem: Shoes get broken down and worn out due to many things caused in nature, one of them being things such as water.

Prototype: Hydrophobic Coated Shoes

Solution: A shoe made in strong materials, such as rubber, and leather, but coated in a very special and thick hydrophobic coating that can help prevent shoes being worn down  by water, and harsh weather. Having a waterproof shoe is convenient to almost everyone and makes the shoe itself last a bit longer.

Problem, shoes get dirty and get scuff marks, this damages the shoes, makes them look less appealing and can track dirt into other places as well.

Solution: Bear with me, galvanized steel laces and steel plating on the shoes, no more scratches, nothing will scuff you, you will scuff everything. Next we remove the sole and allow the shoe to slide up the knee and out of the way of dirt. Then, add vacuum cleaners on the base of the shoes that will suck up all dirt before the shoes contact it. Then as well install spurs and sharp metal rings to knock away objects but also to deter anyone from messing with or touching your shoes. Finally install a pair of discreet high volume fog horns to alert nearby people, cities and nations of your presence and to tell them to clear the way. Of course computer systems will need to be added to control all the features.

I had a picture of this but the sheer awesomeness of it impressed everyone so much they wanted me to erase it so that no one would copy such a brilliant idea. Either that or they were so insulted by its stupidity they wanted it out of their sight forever.

For the name, the 2nd option was, Super Helpful Operational External System, or SHOES but that made too much sense so I went with Adaptive Shoe Solution, it seemed to describe the product better anyways and also had a better sound to it.
