Robot Inspired Footwear

The shoes are comprised of high gloss plastic sections over a neoprene lining. The lining stretches as the shoe is slipped on the foot, therefore eliminating the need for typical straps or laces. The neoprene 'sock' also acts as the shoe's inner cushioning. As you can see, the gaps between the plastic pieces are located where natural foot movement occurs, making the shoe exceptionally ergonomic.
