Do you know when your running sneakers have been over used? Usually your sneakers are no good long before they accumulate holes. Mino allows for runners to monitor the stability of their sneakers, which prevents injuries. Mino slides into your shoe, under your insole. When you want to know the status of your shoe’s life you can simply press a button and see how many LEDs turn on. That indicates how worn and torn your sneakers are.
Activity trackers are at the forefront of their technological evolution. Now, we are seeing products designed to be in your sneakers, and screens on the wristables. Intelligent data manipulation from activity data is a necessity for growth in activity trackers. WT hopes our runners enjoy the use of these wearable products.
