Green Footguard
Hygiene will be come one of the most important quality of life topics in the future. In contrast to clothes, shoes are worn all the time and hardly ever washed. This may cause smelly feet or even foot disease, especially for people who like sports. People have lawyers dreamed of a pair of self- cleaning shoes. Now, shoes with a piezoelectric ceramics anion generator can make this dream come true. Piezoelectric ceramics optical fiber composite material can transform manual energy into electricity, this electric energy is in turn used for sterilizing, deodorizing and cleaning the shoe. Furthermore, PTFE when used in vamp material, can freely facilitate air exchange. Doubtlessly, this technology will make wearing shoes ‘health-conscious’, ‘green’, and ‘smart’.

Finding of the jury:
This is a very technical and well designed approach for advanced shoe hygiene with good aesthetic and high-tech presentation. Unique structural design of the bumper sole elements combines well with the active mechanical solution of spikes similar to soccer shoes to use the body weight when wearing this shoe to inflate air. Active breathing materials have to be developed to work, while walking on wet floors or dirty street.
