UNIQUE ASPECT AND PRACTICALITY MODEL

The removable lining concept offers several advantages
- Compatibility: Users can use the piezoelectric lining with
their preferred shoes, eliminating the need to purchase
specific footwear.
- Versatility: The removable nature of the lining allows users
to transfer it between different pairs of shoes, maximizing
convenience and utility.
-Cost-effectiveness: Instead of investing in entirely new
shoes, users can simply purchase the removable lining,
reducing overall costs and environmental impact.
-Sustainability: This innovative approach enhances the
market appeal of piezoelectric shoes and promotes
sustainability by encouraging the reuse of existing footwear.

STATS CONCLUSION
By designing a removable shoe lining with integrated
piezoelectric materials, this project introduces a novel
approach to harnessing energy from everyday activities.
Unlike traditional piezoelectric shoe designs, which
involve modifying the entire shoe structure, our method
allows users to easily incorporate the technology into
their existing footwear.This innovative approach not only
enhances the market appeal of piezoelectric shoes but
also promotes sustainability by encouraging the reuse of
existing footwear. This unique approach enhances the
practicality of piezoelectric shoes, making them more
accessible and appealing to a wider audience.
